The hollow’s attack hit, even if not fully, and had done enough damage that it lowered itself and began moving in like a very slow and heavy skittering scorpion. Seemingly unsure of what his prey was doing, its glowing eyes narrowed as it approached, but was suddenly having a rock… thrown… at him????

His narrowed eyes suddenly widened as the rock shattered and shot forth in a cone-barrage, the small pieces striking it it’s body, a couple even causing tiny breaks to its mask, something it did not like. Again, he released the hollow howl.

In a strong downward swing of its tail, it attempted to smash Giselle into the ground where she stood, but did not feel the tail connect. Instead, it hit the ground, smashing the stone and kicking up dust. As the cloud settled, he realized she was gone and looked around, only to have his attention caught by the sound of something breaking. He turned to see Giselle and this new weapon of hers.

The hollow narrowed its glowing eyes again and used its strength to jump into the air, twist it's body, and as gravity would bring him down on Giselle, it's tail whipped around and aimed to strike her side and send her body flying back into the castle.

"Hohoho. Look at you. Pretty NIMBLE!" She called out, flashing to the side as that massive frame slammed down with that jumping slam, wincing as debris burst from the impact and she flourished the spear, spinning it to deflect the chunks of rock and dirt. Her eyes snapped to the swinging tail. She spun the weapon and amped spiritual energy. In that moment, time slowed a little as she tightened her focus. That blur of a lamppost slowing as did that tail rushing in. Spiritual energy coursing along her palms and down the length of the weapon, and as that tail swung in, she clenched the spear, allowing that rotational momentum to sweep her up into the air, just barely clear from that swinging tail.

The edge clipping her hip and rear as it passed, even just that clip sent shock through her frame, but she powered through, and as the tail passed beneath her, she swung a leg, continuing that spin so that as she righted herself, and for just an instant it pointed directly at it's masked face... before that spinning spear slammed down into the hollow's lower back, aiming to spike that hunk of makeshift spear clean through the hollow's spine just above the tail. It wasn't a vital blow, but the hollow was being very protective of it's mask. It was only natural that it would aim to evade or block the lethal attack, and at the very last second, she'd aim for a crippling blow. Once that tail was out of the picture, the rest of the hollow would be easy to kill.

This speedy human was proving to be much more of a problem than the hollow liked. It moved out of the way of its tail and was able to take that makeshift spear and stab him in the back, a move he was not likely to recover from. Though the makeup of this hollow did now allow for paralysis because of a spine-aimed injury, the hole through its body was going to slow it down more. The hollow let out another roar, but this one was a little higher pitched and showed its pain.

Practically crawling, it's legs seeming to struggle to get it's body up, the hollow turned back toward Giselle and through sheer will, whipped its tail around to try and strike at her. The aim was wild and unpredictable, as if getting another good hit in was the only desire it had. That desperation turned into a rapid consecutive hit too, the tail immediately coming back to strike at Giselle right after the first.

"Be careful!" Amelia called out, still a good thirty feet away and trying to keep people back. She was glad to see that Giselle was able to land a decisive blow, but still worried for the woman's life. She pulled out her phone and called for an ambulance. If they could get here ahead of time, maybe any serious damage Giselle suffered could be handled quickly. Amelia regretted not calling sooner...

WHEW?!

When Giselle landed after the spear hit she actually had to take a hefty WHEW! Wheezing a bit and grinning as she skidded to the side and let out a yelp! Falling over as that tail swung overhead! "WHEW! I'm trying! OHFUCK!"

As talented as she was, as honed as she'd made her spiritual powers, IT WAS A LOT OF WORK TO KEEP UP WITH THIS DAMN THING! So much had been put into getting herself back in shape, and in this moment, even though her soul was roaring, and her mind was going so damn fast, her body was SCREAMING! From pain. From Fatigue! She stumbled over and landed next to a trashcan, panting a bit as she hurriedly snagged the lid and brought it up! Energy crackling along it's length as she reinforced the item. Twisting at the last second as that tail thankfully only glanced the shield, ripping it in half and then obliterating a chunk of the earth beside her, even that random flailing gouged a crater!

HUP!

She kicked the can over, launching its contents at the Hollow in a barrage of garbage as she promptly grabbed the emptied can and pressed her palm to it. a ripple along its surface, amplifying the ability for the material to vibrate. And then with a mighty kick. The sound itself was deafening, as she kicked the back of the reinforced trashcan, and a burst pulse of sound escaped the object. The only reason it even managed a concentrated burst was the shape, and that concussive boom would slam into the hollow.

She wasn't quite skilled enough in this to actually damage it. But at the very least, she hoped to try and burst its eardrums and stun the damn thing as she lunged towards it. A piece of twisted metal that had once been the garbage lid. It transformed as her energy coursed through it, She spun mid-step, putting as much energy into the lid as she could before she flung it! That thing twisted into a little metal shuriken as she flung it with as much force as she could muster, intent on slamming that sliver of spinning metal dead center into the creature's mask.

Amelia finished the call and just kept watching... Standing on the sideline while Giselle fought so hard was frustrating and heartbreaking. Amelia had never been a combatant. She hated violence, but to do nothing here felt… wrong. However, there was still nothing she could do. She wouldn’t know how to throw a punch. She had no weapon, no training. She was a school teacher for god’s sake!

Paper, food, other plastic shit hit the hollow, but seemed to care little, the pain in its back more its focus. And what came next caused the hollow to release it’s own howl, as if attempting to dampen the horrid sound Giselle made with the trashcan. However, the howl was cut short by a concussive blast that struck his body. He slid across the stone, using it’s four arms to keep it from moving more than a couple feet. It howled again, it's rage filling the air as it started pointing it’s tail at the woman rushing to him and beginning to charge the acidic cero again.

And then everything went quiet. The reiatsu in the air faded. The cero vanished. The small shuriken had struck its mask right through the forehead, the force of which continued the crack right down the middle. The crack expanded and a moment later, the hollow disintegrated, finally dying before everyone's eyes...
