Chapter 701: Captured
The three kings met once again.
“So, when are you guys sending the resources required for the ritual?” The Vampire King said as he tried his best to conceal the excitement in his voice.
“Why are you so excited all of a sudden? For all I know, you are not as excited when we explained the plan to you?”
The Ghoul King asked a bit solemnly. He knew that there might be a reason for the Vampire King to be this happy, this excitement shouldn’t have come out of thin air. For him to be this excited even this crisis, he either had to be an idiot or he must have gone completely crazy due to the stress.
“Excited? Of course, I am excited to kill that Sam. He destroyed so many things for me, he destroyed so many vampires, out of all the three territories, my territory suffered the most. Now that all the other ways are gone, even if I had to pay the price all I want to do is kill him.
If I don’t kill him, I can’t even eat peacefully, that is why I am excited. Fuck the consequences all I want is his death.”
His voice sounded crazier as he went on. The two remaining kings exchanged a glance and had bewildered expressions in each other’s eyes.
It seems like the Vampire king has really gone crazy and in fact, it didn’t seem too far-fetched to them. The Vampires suffered the most in the current situation and they took the most damage in terms of numbers, resources, and territories.
They don’t have enough confidence in themselves that they could stay calm in that situation.
After some more crazy talk from the Vampire King, they appeared to be convinced and have two spatial rings to him.
They discussed some more and all three of them went on their own ways.
The vampire king revealed an exciting smile as he went back to his Mansion. He didn’t even bother to explain anything to the rest of the people and directly went to the same underground room and started working around the well.
He took out all the resources and started drawing some runes. He called for some humans and took blood from them to mix with the rest of the things that are being used to make the ink for the runes.
For the next week, he is completely busy as created runes and covered the whole room.
After the week, he was finally done and looked at the inscribed formation and called for all the consummate level Vampires in the mansion to come to the room.
After they came in, he ordered them to sit in different places within the runes and explained the procedure on what they have to do, and finally took his seat nearest to the well.
All of them sat cross-legged and closed their eyes and channeled their energy through the runes. The energy channeled through the runes and a wave of explosion occurred sending the ceiling away.
The whole underground room is not actually right under the mansion, even if it is underground it is beside the mansion structure.
The large explosion got the attention of every vampire in the city as the large cloud of dirt was shot into the sky.
Some powerful Vampires directly went to the spot of the explosion only to see the large pit in which the strongest of the Vampires are sitting cross-legged in the middle of the blood-red runes that are glowing with an eerie light.
They could see the death energy being sucked out of the surroundings and being sent to the pit that was within.
They just sat there with their eyes closed until the well started glowing with the blood-red light.
*GROWL*
There is an intense growling come out of the pit as if some hungry beast is asking for food.
The Vampire King opened his eyes and took out the rest of the soil that has Sam’s blood and dropped It into the well.
The blood-red light from the well intensified and the red light beam shot into the sky creating a red misty cloud.
The cloud started moving towards the forest of dying in a rapid rate that a red line could be seen in the sky from miles away.
Meanwhile, in the forest of dying Sam and his friends are discussing their next step.
All of a sudden the troops in the forest of dying has disappeared and they decided to move out of this place even if they couldn’t figure out the plan of the three races.
While they are making preparations, all of a sudden a large red cloud zoomed into the cave without them even noticing and it circled around the walls before enveloping Sam completely and taking him back.
Sam and his friends are all panicked and they immediately ran after him. Philip, Jack, and Watt exchanged a glance and Philip gave an order to Arman and Chatur.
“This might be a trap, stay here and make preparations for the emergency plan, we will chase them. It is too fast for you guys to catch up.”
Both of them didn’t say much and only nodded.
The trio took to their hoverboards as they chased after the red cloud.
They could barely keep up with the cloud and keep it within their visible range as they chased.
Sam who is in the middle of the cloud is trying his best to deal with the cloud. But he couldn’t find any way to get out of it.
The first problem is that he couldn’t use any of his energies, the elemental, neutral, physical. No matter what strength it is, he couldn’t access it.
Nothing is coming out of the normal spatial rings. Luckily the divine dimension is still accessible.
He took out the transference scroll from his divine dimension and activated it, he was ecstatic when he felt the energy waves that enveloped him, but before he could feel the relief, the red smoke acted weirdly and destroyed the spatial waves around him and kept him in place.
He took out the protection trinket Hou Yi gave him, but even that is not working. He felt extremely helpless. He exploded grenades, used formation discs nothing is working.
He started using the observation ability to look at the red smoke and from what he discovered, he felt cold sweat dripping through his back. The red mist has the same properties as blood. This made him feel a bit anxious.
The only silver lining is that he couldn’t feel any sense of threat from the red cloud. He looked at his friends following him and wanted to say that they shouldn’t come. But his voice is not coming out.
He noticed that Yanwu and the rest inside the divine dimension are also becoming restless.
Sam tried all his ways to resist and tried to use any elemental energy he could manifest and soon found out, the energy is not sealed it is just that it is not coming out of his body.
He gritted his teeth and started using fusion. His first pick is the earth element and then the metal element to increase his weight and density. But that didn’t work then he tried water, the wind which didn’t work either.
The shadow gave him some edge, but it was soon overcome by the cloud. The fire element also has some resistance but it didn’t work, then finally only light element is there.
When he used that, he was surprised because for a second the red cloud just left him and went past him. He became ecstatic even when he was falling down. He is not worried about the height.
But soon his ecstasy turned into frustration as the red cloud came back and tried to enter his body to suppress the light element fusion and started dragging him away. The speed obviously reduced.
Sam finally lost it, all this while he tried his best to stay calm but now he is getting angry. When he saw the vampire capital right before his eyes, his expression turned cold, and wanted to find a way. His main problem currently is that the red cloud is clearly not an attack and he couldn’t find the properties of this except for the fact the blood is the base of this cloud.
Soon, he neared the pit and when he saw the ritual that is happening, he looked at his friends and struggled to gesture them to stop.
The cloud started dragging him towards the well. The whole vampire populous are watching Sam being dragged away and they couldn’t help but heave a sigh of relief. The king and the rest of the strongest Consummate level cultivators are all sitting there without a single movement.
Sam struggled as he was dragged into the well from which he could feel a dangerous sense of crisis his gut is screaming.
He cursed under his breath and used all his energy to yell.
“GO BACK AND ACTIVATE THE FINAL PLAN. I WILL BE BACK BEFORE THE DAY OF OUR DEPARTURE. DON’T HOLD BACK ANYMORE, DESTROY THIS PLACE.”
Sam’s voice is so loud and cold that the vampires that are listening to him all felt a shiver down their spine. He is still resisting as the red beam of light pulled him into the pit. Sam looked at the Vampires and said coldly as he felt their relieved gazes.
“Don’t be happy so soon. One month. I will look at all your faces in one month and see what happens and that is if you are alive by then.”
The red beam of light dragged him in and Sam didn’t make another sound while he disappeared.
