Sam's message spread faster than he thought.
The people left the valley and immediately contacted their superiors. Particularly the people who have the vines growing out of their bodies.
Since all three races are quite sensitive about these vines, they got access to their higher-ups easily.
When they gave the message Sam left, all three heads had a similar reaction. They stood up from their seating positions in extreme surprise. The one who has the most intense reaction is the person from the Wight race.
The Wight race has four families in it and one family reigns over all the remaining three. Coincidentally, the one who came to the valley is the person that belongs to the main family and he is talking to the family head or to be precise the head of the Wights in this realm. Simply called the Wight King
And the Wight commander who escaped from Sam with the tail between his legs is none other than the son of this head.
So he has most information regarding Sam than anyone else.
He asked for the full description of Sam and when he listened, he couldn't help but feel a bit conflicted.
All three races have been played by this Sam.
He is the one who caused the catastrophe of these vines. That much is apparent because of the vines that are growing through the guy standing right in front of the Wight head.
The second thing is that Sam can disguise himself extremely well to the point he stayed within the undead realm roaming freely without getting caught at all.
The final thing is that the rest of the humans who he doesn't know as players are also Sam's people trying to create the diversion and the chaos required for Sam to hatch his plans.
Even though it is not entirely the truth it is not too far off either.
He looked at the person in front of me. That guy is resisting with the best of his ability and strength so that the vine wouldn't consume him.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt"Stay in an isolated room for now and try to absorb the energy from the vine. We are the ones that consume the plants, not the other way around.
Take the remaining four people with you and let them stay with you. Which direction did Sam leave?"
"Towards the forest of dying."
"I will deal with him. You go and rest."
With that, the five people left the mansion and were escorted to a special stone house at the edge of the city.
There are a few people sitting cross-legged out of the stone house and closed their eyes. A holographic image appeared from the top of their heads as they projected the image of the interior of the stone house.
The image is not a normal video though, they could see the energy flow details within the room and even the people that are staying in.
This was all arranged by the Wight King. He has no hopes of these people pulling this off, but he wanted them to try their best and observe the process of the vines' growth so that he could find a way to deal with it.
Even the transcendent that was escorted here knew of this. He is also infested with the vines and he could understand their threat.
The vine started growing from his arm and he tried to cut it off, but before he knew it, the vine's roots already grew towards his spiritual core and made a link with it. If he really forcefully removed it, he would die along with it.
His doom is inevitable, so he chose a painless death which is to let the vine consume him. As long as he didn't resist, it would just like drifting into sleep.
It is just that the vine is taking a bit longer as he is a bit stronger.
He just sat on a chair as he looked at the vast Wight territory and sigh. He really wanted to see Sam once again.
Just what kind of person the undead realm is clashing with.
He is just a Pre-transcendent, he should be insignificant, but here is making the strongest powers in the realm. He just wants to know what the situation is, why is all this happening.
He looked at the place that he called home for decades and slowly lost consciousness as the vine consumed him.
Similar scenarios took place in all three territories.
But they don't know that just isolating the people who are infested with these vines is not a solution. After all, the pollen doesn't need much to spread.
The situation turned worse by the day.
The three kings decided to meet with their most capable elites from Pre-transcendent stage cultivators, transcendent and even the Consummate realm cultivators all gathered along with the Kings.
"What are we going to do? He is in the Forest of dying and from what we know, that place has the most number of vines in all of the realm. That place is extremely disadvantageous to us. We don't know if the Consummate realm cultivators are going to be in trouble because of these vines.
But from all we know, the larger they become the easier it is for them to deal with the people of higher cultivation.
The longer we wait the more problems we face."
The vampire king said in a casual tone as if he couldn't be bothered with it. He looked at the Wight king with a bit of provocation in his eyes.
The Wight King's son is the one who is considered the biggest loser and he is the one who ran away from Sam. Now that Sam is the current problem, their old wounds would be ripped apart and laid bare for the world to see.
"I don't care if they are living under the undying volcano, we shall send the troops together and destroy him.
I believe that if the attack is powerful enough, the vines would be destroyed too."
The Wight King said in frustration.
"Yeah? Why don't you go and fight him directly then? You are the one who wanted to make a move on the banished realm, you are the one who created a war that made us lose so many resources, and now you are the one who provoked this guy who knows where he came from. Now you are asking for us to get into a head-on clash.
Tell me one good reason why I should listen to you?"
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmThe Ghoul King said coldly. He was the most passive one when the war was started. He only went with the flow because both Wight King and Vampire king persuaded him.
In fact, it is Wight king who gave the idea and as a long-time rival, the Vampire King just went on board with the plan to not get behind and both of them forcefully pulled him in. Anyway, it is already generous of him that he didn't go to them to settle scores.
But now a problem that they poked is coming to haunt them. He stayed in their realm for a month under their noses.
Creating chaos as he liked and hatching plots that could create devastating losses for them.
The discussion escalated and they couldn't go anywhere.
The Ghoul king wants to send a smaller team and investigate the matter, the Vampire king wants to hunt down the players and Sam directly.
The Wight King wants to destroy everything altogether.
While they are discussing this, the vampire king's servant came running in and said.
"There is another incident of vines but this time, it is not in the forest of dying.
It is near the Magma zone."
Everyone was stunned.
"What? Magma Zone? Isn't it near the Undying Volcanic region? The Vine is growing there? Is that place not supposed to be the no-grow zone for any form of vegetation.
The Lava is just the rotten matter of undead creatures and the chaotic mess of death energy.
What kind of vegetation can grow there? What kind of perverted idiot made this vine?"
"The problem is, it is growing too fast actually. It is faster than the growth in the forest of dying. One-fifth of the magma zone is already covered and it is spreading towards the Undying volcano.
All the undead slimes and all kinds of undead creatures that live in this area are all being consumed by it. There are a lot of teams nearby in search of the undying volcanic stones, we have to inform them to return."
The three kings went into a deep thought. The vine is already a pain in the ass, they don't want to make it worse. They wouldn't be able to sustain like this. Even if they managed to survive by themselves if their own kind suffers in this plight and their population got reduced.
They gave their orders continuously and directly went to take action.
Since they couldn't reach common ground in this matter, they decided to take care of it in their own way.
