[Thankfully it's only a series of small shards and not any larger ones... Though it still leads him to breathing harder, struggling to reach around to pull them out. He winces both at the pain and Hiyori's tone, biting his lip.]
Sorry... Didn't want you getting hurt. [A soft hiss escapes from between clenched teeth as he pulls on piece of mirror out and glances over his shoulder at her.]
Huh? H-Hiyori, wait--!
[His call comes too late; she's already on her way towards their enemies, so tiny and delicate compared to them. With renewed vigor he starts yanking at the remaining shards embedded in his skin, making a series of pained noises with each one. The yetis' cries are reassuring at least, proof that Hiyori is getting the better of them in spite of or perhaps because of her small size.
A crash follows soon after, getting him to twist all the way around so he can see what's going on. Another mirror down. She's doing far better than he was able to, that's for sure. A faint smile plays at his lips, until he notices the chalice and glowing light.
What the...?
It's coming from the shards around him as well, startling him as the couple pieces remaining in his back begin to feel warm. Hurriedly, he pulls them free and tosses them to the ground, breathing hard. He doesn't know what's going on, but better to not find out firsthand.
That done, he staggers to his feet and summons another sword as he floats forward at a reduced speed. He's got to get over there and help her...!]
SO I CAN RISE FROM THE DEEP AND OOZE AT PEOPLE

Hang on, Hiyori, I'm coming!
