Athena looked at his arm again. It's been a while since he's tried to remove the leeching parasitic plant from his arm. He frowned at it. "I can't have you holding me back anymore", he murmured to the plant as if it understood his words and what he was saying. He touched his right arm with his left hand and cleared his thoughts. He imagined a void where nothing existed, not even light. The feelings this gave him made him a little sick ,but it wasn't painful like it was when he activated his Holy aura. Athena then imagined the plant in his arm and only the plant. It was still moving and growing and leaching and spreading in his arm. Athena concentrated. He willed the plant to stop moving and growing. It still moved. Athena urged it once more. The plant obeyed as if it was submitting to his power. He then forced the plant out. That too took a second for the plant to carry out ,but it did. The plant came out of his arm slowly. It was painful because the plant forced it way out through an old wound. The pain of the plant leaving his body was in no way close to the pain of it being in his body ,so Athena with a new threshold for pain tolerance was able to endure and force the plant out completely this time.

[07:27:21] It was out. Athena was free. He couldn't believe it. He opened his eyes and saw the plant that was once terrorizing his body out on the floor before him. Athena's eyes lit up. It took him a year to master enough control to force it out of his body ,but he finally managed to do it. Athena just couldn't stop smiling. If he ever sees Eris again he figured he should be able to help him too. Athena looked at his new arm. The color of his arm was turning back to normal at long last. He wouldn't have to hide his arm anymore to avoid any and all attention. His arm's wound was reopened ,so Athena used holy magic to heal it a bit. He would need to find a healer to fix his arm completely ,but he doesn't need to worry about the plant anymore. Now he just need to get his arm fixed from normal battle wounds.
