"Ice Talker, forgive me," John murmured as he slowly rolled up her sleeves, revealing smooth, alabaster arms that resembled tender lotus roots.
He quickly refocused his mind, closing his eyes to maintain his composure. Placing his hands gently on Ice Talker's arm, he began drawing out the Hellfire poison.
Black flames surged into his body, causing waves of pain to course through him.
The fact that these flames had already infiltrated Ice Talker's body gave him a glimpse of the immense suffering she must have been enduring.
Fortunately, the Hellfire poison posed no real threat to him; the Golden Flame Lotus easily refined and absorbed it.
As time passed, John methodically absorbed and refined the Hellfire poison within Ice Talker's body.
Before long, the poison in both of her arms was entirely removed.
