Seeing the potion ready, I took out an Icy herb from my storage and placed the drink on to cool it. It usually is better to let cool slowly from room temperature, but currently, we don’t have the luxury to wait.
Hiss...
The position made a hissing sound as it started to cool down rapidly, and in just a minute, the temperature of the potion cooled down to slightly hot.
"As soon as Raina wakes up to teach her the secret method and make her circulate it as quick as possible, if she fell unconscious again it will very hard to wake her up again," I said to Sophia, I would have taught her but it better if Sophia taught her as both were sister and knew each other from the birth.
"Ok!" said Sophia, nodding toward her, Lifted Sophia tp sitting position and started to feed her potion little by little. The quantity of view is enough for two people, but I am feeling it all to Raina; the more pain she would feel, the more chance that she will wake up.
Soon I finished feeding all the potion to Raina and except for a few drops that had fallen.
Seconds passed by, but no change occurred in Sophia, seeing that we became very worried as the pain should have hit her a few seconds after drinking the potion, but there was no movement from her after a minute.
I was about to make another pain-inducing potion when I felt the eyes of Sophia twitching, and a few seconds later, she opened her eyes slowly.
"Soph,""Shh! Listen to what I say." Sophia cut off her sister.
Raina opened her eyes and was saying her sisters when she was interrupted by her sister’s voice.
"I am going to teach you a method, quickly memorize it, and start to circulate it. Circulate as much as suppressive energy as you could." Sophia said quickly and started to teach her sister the secret method.
Unlike before, Sophia is not hasty, she slowly taught the method to her sister, so she understands in even in an intoxicated state. It’s a good thing that the secret formula is straightforward and only has one move.
"Do you understand?" asked Sophia to Raina, Raina nodded loosely "Good, now circulate it with as much as energy you can," Sophia said to her sister.
After Sophia finished, Raina slowly closed her eyes and stayed still as before, others might think she has fallen unconscious, but I know she is circulating the Secret Method.
I hope she circulates as much as suppressive energy as she could, only flowing a high amount of suppressive energy she will be able to stay awake and cleanse her soul of the corrupted soul energy that had been corrupting her soul.
Time passed by and soon five minutes passed, and a very light grey smoke started to release from her body, I am shocked seeing that as the soul is incorporeal and invisible, me seeing this smoke means that the corrupted soul liquid that Raina had inhaled was very corrupted.
"Hun,"
I accidentally sniffed some of this grey smoke and felt a little disoriented, seeing that I was about to put short distance between Raina when I found the grey smoke flying toward the bedside table that is behind me and when I looked to see what attracted the grey smoke, I found it was Ashlyn.
She is sucking the grey smoke; to be exact, it is red the crystalline tear that is sucking off this corrupted soul smoke.
I was shocked to see that and asked Ashlyn telepathically, but I received no answer from her.
I felt a little worried about Ashlyn sucking off the corrupted soul energy but soon shook off, Ashlyn could drink of the Blood of King Stage monster, what is there to be worried about little corruption which is at Knight stage, she is likely enjoying eating this corrupted soul smoke.
As time passed, more and more smoke started to come out of Raina’s body, and that gem kept sucking it off whatever smoke came out of it.
One could see a definite change in Raina’s color, the vitality is returning, and the paleness is vanishing from her skin as visible rate; if I am not wrong, then Raina’s skin color will return to normal within an hour time.
As the time it will take her to remove the corruption in her soul, I have no idea, but I sure it will take at least three hours.
Time passed by, and we watched Raina’s condition in silence, not speaking even a single word, in case we disturb her. As an hour passed, her skin color returned to normal as I guessed, but the grey smoke coming out of her had thickened very much as I have to create distance between us.
She must have got corrupted with the soul corrupting Liquid for some time, if it had a corruption of day or two, she would cleanse it by now, due to time it had reached quite profoundly in her soul, it will take her quite a time to clear off all the corruption.
Time passed and more than eight hours had passed when Raina’s eyelashes fluttered before they finally opened, her eyes looked bright as the sky and not a hint of corruption could be seen in them.
"Thank You!" Raina said to me as she opened her eyes, to that I just smiled as I don’t know what to say.
"How are you feeling?" Sophia asked as she touched the cheek of her sister, "I am good now, all the corruption I got infected with got cleansed." Raina replied.
"How did you come in contact with the Corrupting Soul Liquid?" Sophia asked her sister; I also erected my ears to hear that.
"About three weeks ago, I was exploring one damaged tower there I came across the Soul Corrupting Liquid and got infected before I could escape from it."
"That time, I had something to cleanse the soul corruption, I had thought that the soul corruption I had completely cleansed, but half a day ago, I started to feel a little different in my soul."
"After returning, I was planning to go to adventurous paradise for a checkup in the morning when the corruption hit me suddenly at night," Raina explained.
So that’s how it is.
She should not have taken the risk; if I had been in her place, I would have either asked help from my friends and had gone to the Adventurous Paradise for the checkup.
"What did you eat the first time to cleanse the Corruption?" I asked. As I am baffled, if she had used something when she got corrupted by the soul liquid, then there should be corruption coming back.
And even if some corruption had to remain, it would not have affected her this much, I have seen the power of that grey smoke, and it is enormous.
"Hearthstone Herb." Raina Replied.
Hearthstone Stone herb, no wonder this happened to her, Hearthstone herb used for a different purpose than she had eaten it.
"Hearthstone Herb does not clean the corruption from the soul; it only suppresses it for a while, the reason you got sudden eruption of corruption because the suppression of Hearthstone herb had weakened and corruption had started to affect you bit by bit," I explained and the confusion that Raina had in her eyes got cleared.
