The forest of dying seemed to have been festive mode as the rockets are being launched into the air.
The pollen was spread all over the place and this time the vines are a bit different. They are not the usual black, there is a faint hue on them with different colors.
These vines are not just different in color but they are also inherently different, they are growing faster and when they came near the vines that already existed they are trying to merge together.
When the pollen fell on already existed vines, they are also merging in and a new branch of vines growing out of it and soon the original vines are also changing a bit.
Even the flowers growing out of it didn't just give out pollen. The flower wouldn't wilt away like before when the pollen left it and it will stay there on the vines.
From time to time, the flowers started releasing various vapors of different colors based on the hues of the vines.
The vapors have different effects on the surroundings.
For example, the green vapor started decaying everything was in its way, be it the trees or the undead creatures, it has a particular reaction towards the death energy.
The red vapor is creating a charring effect on the skin and surface of everything that comes in contact with it and this is also only working on the things with death energy. But this time it is not just limited to the moving objects and creatures, the flora and even the soil are affected.
The yellow vapor is a lot acidic and it is corroding the structure of everything that came into contact with it.
The worst part is when multiple vines merged together or one type of pollen fell on another type of vine. They are merging their properties and if the red and green merged it is merging both the effects.
Even though currently there are no people in the forest dying except for the team, the effects of this action will be soon seen.
After finishing up with the forest of dying, the team went to the Undying Volcanic region. In the past week, Sam has already investigated the issue of the vines spreading into different places randomly and came to some speculations.
One of them is the someone is trying to help with the propagation and the second one is the undying volcano being the reason. He captured his prey and inquired about the situation with the black clouds and came to the conclusion that the undying volcano might be the reason the vines are spreading so much.
That reason is also more believable while the rest are farfetched.
The team went to the undying volcano and when they looked at the large expanse of land completely covered in vines, they couldn't help but stare at it in awe,
Who would have expected that they can see an active volcano and vines growing in the same place?
They took out some glass bottles that have the special pollen and started sprinkling all over the area and finally they emptied a few bottles into the volcano through its mouth and let it do the rest of the magic.
They just went back to the cave and started making the final preparations which would need some time. They took out several formation discs and activated them within the cave as they placed some pollen contained within a glass jar.
Then they just waited for the show.
Meanwhile, Sam is also waiting for something to happen as he just thought of escaping this plight. Sometimes, he managed to slip by the consciousness of the opponent and tried to control his body, but the corpse that is sitting crosslegged moved and would hold him in place.
The strength of this corpse is far superior to his own and he couldn't fully control his body so there is no way he could take him down. So, he got a lot of time to think of ways to escape his predicament and there is one plausible way he could think of as the rest of them are extremely farfetched.
But for that, the emergency plan his friends are executing should progress to a certain extent.
As he waited like that, the blood is seeping into his body and soon he was covered with a blood-colored cocoon. He went through agonizing pain, but he didn't even groan, he just held his mentality to not break before he could break out of this place.
Meanwhile, the vampires, wights, and ghouls are all waiting for the good news. The vines are completely hindering their growth and daily routine, they are already sick of living in fear every day in isolation.
But they couldn't think of ways to do anything to make the situation better. All they could do is stay inside so that they could stop helping the vines to spread more.
But what they don't know or expect is that them helping the vines propagation is the least of their concerns at this moment. Currently, a more dangerous threat is coming knocking at their doors.
In the outskirts of the Vampire city within a house, a vampire man and a woman are having sex with a human woman. They are completely relieved since the problem is out of their minds and lost in their carnal desires, they are also confident that nothing would happen in the house.
But at this moment, the tile on the roof of the house fell in startling them and getting them out of their passionate mood.
Before they could make sense of what happened, they could see cracks happening all over the walls and the tiles falling off and before they knew it a green vapor entered the cracks of the walls and they started feeling their skin decay easily and within few minutes, the two vampires are enveloped with vines and the human woman barely managed to escape.
She came out of her house only to see the same situation is repeating itself in many other houses, the houses are all burning, corroding, and simply falling off while the humans ran out of it.
Within two weeks after Sam's imprisonment, the whole undead realm turned into a new phase of chaos. The Vampire King and the strongest don't have any idea what they had done, they are pretty concentrated on the ritual and even if they wanted to they couldn't come out of it now.
But the Ghoul King and Wight King are cursing Sam and his eighteen generations' ancestors in rage every day. They left all their works as they tried to control the vine growth, the new vines are going on a killing spree as they just grew all over the place.
Within these two weeks, they even reached the edges of the capitals and they already had to activate the defensive formations of the highest level to barely keep the pollen out of the city.
Even the Vampire Capital is the same, but they are a bit too late and a bit too weak. The transcendent stage cultivators don't have enough access or power to activate the strongest formation of the city and the pollen is spreading faster in their capital than in other places, so they really couldn't do anything and the Capital is like a free pantry to these vines as there are tons of vampires just waiting to be devoured.
This time San's kill count can only be called colossal. This is the reason why he didn't use the special vines since the start. Even though he needed points he didn't want to go as far as to send these people to extinction.
From what he knew there are only a few members of these three species out of this realm and they might have even died, but now that situation became so dire as to the point that he had to think of his and his friends' safety, even if the rest of the whole realm collapsed and became lifeless or in this case creature-less, he will still go on with it and effects are showing now.
Another week passed by and Sam's body is on brink of completing formation, but he managed to still keep his mind strong. From what he predicted the final step for his exit should come anytime now and he just calmly waited.
While he is waiting the Vampire capital is already in chaos, the vines already spread all over the mansion of the king and they are now so large and thick that one should wonder if a Consummate realm Vampire can escape this and they didn't have to wait long for the answer because the three colored vapors reached the pit and formed clouds over it and the vines are spreading downwards as the death energy is at its highest in that place.
The vines are spreading rapidly towards the blood-red runes and the consummate cultivators that are in the middle of the ritual. But there is nothing much they can about it even if they are awake.
Soon the vines reached the first person in the formation and started wrapping around him. The person started feeling the searing pain and feeling of decay as he forcefully opened his eyes spat a mouthful of blood and at this exact moment, Sam whose body just came out of the blood cocoon showed a faint smile.
