[Hm, that's interesting. Serph still has access to ice magic. A far cry from what he once could do, but it's still something. This magic isn't from his demon, though.]

It was the corruption that slowly killed Jayce.

[Yes, he looks alive and kicking now, but Serph remembers vividly standing in a pool of his rainbow coloured blood, corpse propped up in the back of his truck, heart destroyed. Cielo might hit harder, but the corruption was like a poison, slowly destroying from the inside.]

Life was forced back into him by another. I don't know how they did it. I'm not taking that risk with you.

[The glow emanating from his hands, hair and eyes grows more intense as he lays his palms on the injured side. It feels dulled to Serph's senses, healing through the thick armour instead of direct contact with the injured site, but he stays focused on mostly the corruption tainting beneath the flesh rather than the other wounds; a normal injury could be healed with devouring. Rainbow webbing is unpicked from Heat's insides, purging every corrupted thread seeking to entwine itself around flesh and sinew after a great effort from Serph.

Infection cleansed, Serph's knees buckle from underneath him.]
