Hunger vs poison

The wound was poisoned.
Without my demon, I don’t think I would have lasted more than an hour. Even with its support, I was having trouble staying steady. The pain was horrible, and my whole body poured sweat even as I shivered with cold. The Hunger can usually overcome any kind of foreign substance—but while my demon might have been a powerful one, it was not well fed, and I’d been using it hard all night. It had little strength left with which to fight the poison.
It was difficult, but I persevered for three hours.
That was how long it took for me to track the Stygian and catch her alone.
