Blood scattered everywhere, Hubert reached where Anna is and asked, "are you ok?" then he went and check her body. Anna with her blushing cheeks answered "I am fine don't worry about me master even if I only have 1 percent of my previous strength, It is enough for me to defend myself in this secluded world".
Hubert was stunned by what Anna said and was thinking, "That is only 1 percent of your strength?!! Then how strong were you when you are at your peak? Maybe she can destroy the world with only a punch? And that snake was a beast with the rank of marques". Estimating Anna's strength made Hubert's head hurt and he stopped all the things that he was trying to guess.
Hubert stopped worrying and peeked at the beast when chills swiftly flowed in his spine, Oh my god that is not only a marques, it is a mutated marques one that is even comparable to a king class. He said to himself.
He can only sigh and tell Anna to go and collect the plants used to make an elixir. Before she went, Anna told Hubert "We can also collect the corpse of the beast and use it's blood combine it with the grass for further enhancement, combining the blood and the plants will make the elixir more potent. It will have a 200 percent effect on your evolution master".
Hubert was wowed by what Anna said and was excited, "Ok store the corpse, then after that collect the plants and let's get away from this place. Ferocious animals and mysterious beast perchance maybe attracted by the smell of blood scattered in the area". Anna nodded and went to work. Storing the body and collecting the plants. she asked, "Where are we going now master?" Hubert answered, "Let's go to the river so that we can wash ourselves and find someplace to rest."
At the river Hubert said go in first and wash yourself you already look like you did not take a bath for a hundred of years and you are also reeking the smell of blood, anna felt embarrassed and quickly went to the water joyfully swimming and humming in the river.
Hubert opened the book and was reading its content when he felt that the book was giving the vibe of something that is very ancient, It felt like it could swallow the whole world after mastering just the first phase. The first paragraph in the book says "Each experience is important for living beings to survive and reach the first step of evolution. They need to take hardships and trials. It will make them tenacious, resilient, vigorous and firm, building an excellent foundation for the body and soul for its future growth". Underneath were sets of mysterious images that were moving and performing different forms and exercises that depicted primal and archaic feel for the practice .
As Hubert was reading, the first image was a breathing exercise where you sit cross legs, hands clasped together then will need to forget everything that is happening in the environment and just focus on the exercise. He then tried to connect with nature,and tried to feel the energy and elements that are in the surroundings, as well reciting the mantra that was written beside the picture and doing what was instructed on the book. He felt very relaxed and felt something was washing his body, he also felt very energetic and felt that their was something mysterious forming in his chest area that he can't explain.
Waking up from his meditation he saw a person with round and dark-redish beautiful eyes, nose high arched symmetrical to its height and width, lips that is red as blood, skin as white and silky like a newborn baby, face shaped like an elf, body with a curve like a bottle, bosom that are big and bouncy and bottom that is compact firm and dignified.
Flabbergasted he inquired excuse me ma'am but who are you and what are you doing in this kind of place. The woman playfully answered, master how can you forget your servant when you are the one who saved her? She smiled and giggled in a very naughty way. Anna? asked Hubert, yes master Anna answered. He was so embarrassed that his whole face was as red as a tomato . He then felt like digging a hole and burying himself into it, Anna still giggling and asked, master do you think I'm beautiful? Hubert nodded many times then ran away and dive in the river forgetting that he still had his clothes on. While in the river he murmured, "I am very stupid why did I act that way" then he sighed.
Cooling his head he was remembering what happened today from the alley to forming a contract to the mysterious book and to what will be his future from this day on, he was feeling excited at the same time nervous because he was introduced to a new and unknown world. He exhaled a deep and long breath and braced himself and made a resolve to face the difficulties that would come his way.
Getting out of the water, he went to Anna and asked if she had some extra pair of clothing. Anna waved her hand and a new pair of clothes appeared , he then change his clothes behind the trees and went back to her asking, are you already hungry Anna?
She smiled and brought out a cauldron, some unknown herbs and the snake's carcass. Preparing the meal anna made the snake float. She separated the flesh, skin, meat, bones, tendons and blood. The blood went to a bottle and would be used to make an elixir bath together with the plants that they had found, the meat would be there stock of food the bones would be grinded and would also be added to the elixir bath and the skin and tendons would be used to make some defensive equipment for Hubert's safety. After she separated everything Anna diced the meat put some herbs and cooked it in the cauldron.
While cooking anna said, master the meat of the beast will help nourish and develop your body so after eating try to meditate and absorb the essence of the meat, it would be more effective that way.
While eating Anna asked, master what will you do from now on, what are your plans and what can i do for you. Hubert said first of all we need to rest for today and think about it tomorrow. I have some plans but needs some finishing touches, so let's just relax and meditate after eating.
