However, running around didn't stop the Hollow from advancing as it simply followed her reiatsu, tripping her time and again, wrapping tendrils around her in an attempt to gain enough leverage to break bones and kill her. Had she been bigger and less mobile, she couldn't have managed for a minute. The Hollow was clever, exploiting her weaknesses - her utter incompetence in the field of Zanjutsu and limited Hakuda usage. However, it failed to take into account Yue was remarkably more intelligent than the creature. It didn't seem to have an apparent weakness but Kido was about as effective as a blade - it could serve as a shield. The only thing running against Yue was the long-winded incantations. 

Kouta couldn't be put onto the defensive again, for his defensive techniques, especially against Hayate, was the application of all his limbs. Now he had to overpower the man rather than attempt submission through skill. When Kouta shuffled to Hayate's white and black figure, he raised his left arm and swung powerfully across Hayate, hoping to smash away the man's skillful defenses. This worked for a time before he heard Yue close by.

"Hado # 32: Ōkasen!" A bright yellow, concentrated beam of energy split two of its 'arms' directly off its body. The Hollow emitted another hair-raising screech. It slowly dawned on her, while she desperately fought off another direct attack by the Hollow itself with blasts of low-level Kido that the only time it was at its weakest was when it was attacked; apart from the main body, the tendrils that snaked out from the thick substance it dissolved into were only corporeal and susceptible to damage when wrapped around something and attacking. Maybe that was it's weakness, its fatal flaw. 

"Kouta! It's weak when it attacks! Get its arms when it makes contact with you and its body when it's coming towards you!" She couldn't see Kouta in the mist but hopefully he'd heard her.
