Miko in this era were not very powerful. It could even be said that they were utterly incapable of matching the monsters, demons, and evil spirits. To contend against yokai and evil spirits, they could only rely on the power of the gods.
This was already common knowledge.
Relying on one's own strength to drive away yokai was something that only happened in legends... in ancient times.
