"Elaine, Can you make a big bathtub for me?" King asked while yelling towards Elaine. She was quite a distance away from him. So he had to raise his voice a little.
"Okay". Elaine nodded her head and used her Nature powers to command the trees and created a big bathtub immediately.
"Thanks". King thanked her and carried the heart on top of the Bathtub. He poked it with a dagger from Chastiefol and the blood leaked out of it like a stream.
After the bathtub was filled. King stopped his breath to help with the nauseousness and drank the remaining blood coming out of the gigantic heart.
No matter what, the Giant Snake is still a being equal to Minor Gods and the blood from its heart should be quite useful to King in increasing his strength by some amount.
After drinking all the blood, he jumped into the Bathtub and boiled the blood inside with his Fire magic to make sure that it reacts to him.
'I have done all the steps that I have seen in some novels. Now it is to wait for the blood to react'. King thought in his mind and continued to wait.
He didn't know but the heart was easily obtained because the Dark knights were putting pressure on the snake when he was swallowed and the snake couldn't counter attack when King killed it or he would've died inside the body.
The blood started to slowly react to King's body and scabs started to form on his body which slowly turned into a cocoon with pulsing veins on his body.
Small amount of pressure was radiating from the cocoon that was no different from the pressure radiated by the Giant Snake. This was to protect the person absorbing the strength from the blood.
Enchanted Forest is a restricted area not only because it is dangerous but also because it has various resources to grow your strength which are firmly controlled by the Royal Family of Alfheim.
Elaine was very worried when she saw King jumping into a pool blood and the blood forming a cocoon around his body but she couldn't even get close to the cocoon because Lopt and Chastiefol were guarding it tightly.
'Hope you are okay'. Elaine just joined and looked at the cocoon with some worry in her heart.
On the other hand inside the Ljosaflgard castle.
Aelsa was currently looking at the reports of Elaine and King with a smile on her face. She was finally relieved that her decision to send them there was not wrong.
Frey had come to ask about the news of King taking Elaine as his own and he wanted some explanation for it. Aelsa just pointed out the punishment that the two received and his anger was appeased a bit.
"Plus Kings have multiple wives and it doesn't change anything". Aelsa said while eyeing him from the corner of her eyes and Frey could only shut up.
"I am also sure that you understand this. Hope this does not put a damp on our budding relationship". Aelsa said straightforwardly and smiled cunningly.
'Damn Fox'. Frey cursed in his mind and smiled back at her with an amicable smile.
"Of course not. See you in three years for the engagement". Frey said with a smile and got up to take his leave.
"Take care". Aelsa said and leaned back into her chair tiredly.
"These things really tire you out". She shook her head and rested contentedly.
Aelsa suddenly shook her head and focused back on the report in front of her after she was done thinking about the past.
While back at the forest, Elaine was currently cooking some barbecue for King and herself. She could tell from the cracks on the cocoon that it would be over soon and King would be out anytime now.
'He might need a lot of nutrients. So I should be prepared'. Elaine raised the fire a bit more to keep roast the meat quickly.
This was the quickest meal that she could make now. Both of them have experimented with a lot of herbs here and know a variety of different dishes but this one is the most quick.
The cocoon started to crack more and more and Elaine's speed of roasting the meat increased more and more. she had hunted this bull like beast herself with the help of some nature magic.
She hasn't been idle in these two months either. When King is busy with something else, she goes herself to hunt for some food. Their food consumption is a lot and they basically finish two animals everyday in a meal.
The cocoon cracked and King came out of the cocoon with blood scabs all over his body. He turned his head and found that his clothes were ripped apart and his body was full of dry blood.
He raised his hand and Water magic was used immediately to wash his whole body thoroughly with a bit of fire magic to dry himself off.
Then he took out some pants made of animal leather and wore them comfortably. His upper body was bare and only his lower body was covered.
"Elaine, give me some food please". King's stomach growled uproariously and he didn't have time to feel the changes in his body and immediately asked Elaine for some food.
"I have prepared a lot for young". Elaine smiled and handed him a big thigh full of meat. The thigh was fripping with fat and looked extremely appetising when looked at.
King couldn't wait and immediately caught the thigh before gnawing on it ravenously. Elaine looking at him smiled and just ate some barbecue casually.
"woof". Lopt looked at the meat and woofed to get Elaine's attention.
"Here, catch". Elaine laughed and threw a bg piece towards this guy as well.
"Woof". Lopt thanked her in his own way and started to eat the piece meat with closed eyes and a happy smile.
