Wow. Yeah, some serious force to that kick. He's glad it didn't connect with his neck -- he's not certain he could heal from a broken spinal cord that high up.
There's an unpleasant "splurt" sound as the hand goes into his chest. Hollows have strange anatomy around there. Do they have physical hearts? What IS in that thorax with a hole straight through it? No one knows. But Tyki does manage to grab something, and Zangetsu splatters blue blood from his mouth onto the shifting courtyard stones.
It's hard to see from the angle, what with Tyki's chest facing Zangetsu's back, but the Hollow is grinning from ear to ear. Because now Tyki is close. And stuck. There is a small, creepy laugh before what happens next. And what happens, happens fast.
From around the place where Tyki's hand is through Zangetsu's chest, strange white fluid with the viscosity of putty bubbles up. In split seconds, it takes form around Tyki's arm as a grey colored worm-like creature with disturbingly human teeth. Growing right out of Zangetsu's back. The worm grows enormous and engulfs Tyki from his head to his waist, clamping down hard with its blunt teeth. Inside the mouth, a wet, spiny tongue writhes and presses Tyki against its insides.

"CHILDERMASS!" Zangetsu yells, "NOW!"
