"But there's one thing that both of you need to know. I will use the infernal power to burn the toxins inside your bodies. I'm afraid the burning process will cause you intense pain," Ricky said in a deep voice.
"Oh, so you're going to use the flames of the infernal power." Hearing Ricky's words, Samson could almost imagine the exact method Ricky was about to use to remove the toxins inside their bodies. While Samson spoke, he turned to look at his sister, as if trying to ask whether she could endure the pain. He was confident he was strong enough to endure it but he was afraid that his sister might not be.
At that moment, everybody else turned to look at Carley as well.
"Please, you do not have to worry. I will try my best to moderate the pain as I remove the toxins. If I fail to remove them, I will do my best to suppress them and make them less active. There may be some kind of antidote in the Oriental College. I can find the medicine for you once we leave this place," Ricky said.
"I will keep holding on," Carley replied to Ricky with a heavy nod as she bit her lip hard.
"Samson, you should go first," Ricky said immediately.
His tone was rather serious this time as he was about to remove the toxins from their hearts, the most delicate and sensitive part of any creature's body. Nevertheless, he knew he was not an expert of any kind in removing toxins. All he could do was try his best to cure them so as to protect them from the accumulative harm caused by the toxins.
'If I fail to remove the toxins from their hearts, all that would be left for me to do is to temporarily suppress the toxins for them, ' Ricky thought.
"I will restrain all my power within my body so that you won't be hurt by my natural reflexes to your external power," Samson reminded.
"All right," Ricky responded with a nod.
Samson then temporarily deactivated all the enlightening power and spiritual energy within his body. Next, he sat in the air above the lake of the dark water with his legs crossed as he meditated for a while. He was getting ready to endure all the upcoming pain.
At that moment, Ricky began to focus all his attention on all the steps he planned in order to remove the toxins. He wanted to make sure that nothing would go wrong in the process.
In no time at all, Ricky exerted the Devouring Fire and the Heaven Melting Fire without hesitation. These kinds of fire would greatly help him in removing the toxins within Samson's body.
As he had planned, he used the Heaven Melting Fire to burn and decompose the toxins while he used the Devouring Fire to absorb the decomposed toxins and completely destroy them.
Now, his plan was beginning to take effect. First, the Heaven Melting Fire and the Devouring Fire, the two sheets of fire, turned into countless small balls of flame that slowly found their way into Samson's heart. The flames began to burn, decompose, absorb, and eliminate the toxins.
Just after a short while, sweat began to drop into the lake. It was Samson's sweat. His hair was soaking wet. The bean-like drops of his sweat kept running from his hair down to the lake. His face was twisting with pain. His lips were bitten hard by his teeth as they began to slightly bleed.
All of these were proof of how much pain Samson was enduring.
If anyone would like to understand Samson's current state, they could do it just by imagining the feeling of having a living man's heart burned with fire.
During that period of time, Samson nearly fainted a few times but he tried his best to keep himself awake with his strong willpower.
"Samson, I can stop attempting to remove the toxins. I can see that you are in great pain. I would like to just suppress them for you. Once we leave this place, I will find the antidote for you. Does that sound better?" Ricky asked. He knew how much pain Samson was going through.
"Ricky, you need to tell me. What negative effects will they have on my strength if the toxins are merely suppressed?" Samson asked.
"The negative effects would be that you can only exert a maximum of seventy percent of your power in a fight. In other words, you cannot use your full strength in any fight. Otherwise, your toxins will be freed from suppression and will begin to decay your heart again. Worse than that, the decaying speed will be much faster because whenever you exert your full power, you are also exerting extra efforts in your heart at the same time," Ricky explained patiently.
"Please go ahead and get rid of the toxins completely. Suppressing them will only restrain my full power. That's not what I want. I have to make sure I can utilize all my power anywhere and anytime," Samson said sternly.
"I completely understand," Ricky responded. In the following moment, he stopped talking and concentrated on removing the toxins inside Samson's body.
Naturally, Ricky would not turn down such a firm request from such a tough man.
