The hollow saw them try to run and laughed.
He grabbed the girl from his back and threw her off. He saw his prey. He was hungry.
He dashed in the way of Zeke and Yoru and grabbed both of them with two firm arms each. The hollow roared and the studds on his back grew outward, gaining lenght until they were each 5 feet long, then they went slack. The tendrils gained new life and slid towards the hopeless soul reapers.
He used these studs to feed, and when he fed, he left nothing left.
Nickolai snapped out of his stuppor and saw his comrades helpless and about to die.
"No!" He screamed. I protect them, I will save them, even if I die trying.
He Rushed the oblivious hollow, his sides splitting and bleeding from the exertion, He didn't care about the pain, only their lives.
Got into point blank rage and screamed with his uttmost fury, spiritual power esonating from him.
"Hado! 73! Shuza Sokatsui!!" A Huge pulse of lightning flew through the hollow's arm, charring its and causing it to bleed. It dropped Zeke. Nickolai wasn't done yet. There was still one left to save.
"Hado 4! Byakurai!" The beam flew and he slashed with it like a sword, following the beam with a ferocious stab, the weakened arm holding Yoru was pierced deeply with the blade.
Yoru was dropped and Nickolai pulled out his sword, The hollow was mad. It glared at Nickolai.
