Theo, Yuki and Shina couldn't relax much since as time passed, the Moon Lotus Flower began to emanate seductive energy in all directions, attracting many animals and monsters to that place.
If they were to be counted, it could be said that they clearly more than 500 monsters and animals here. It had animals, dogs, wolves, bears, monkeys, boars, and many others, there were also many Goblins, Orc's, even some undead had appeared!
Luckily, Theo could buy mana and healing potions. After fighting all the time, they had suffered a lot of injuries, but Theo was constantly increasing his points at the same time, so for him to buy more potions it posed no problem.
In fact, he was a little happy with so many points coming to him... I mean, having so many opponents to fight and getting better in the midst of the battle.
"HAHAHA!" Theo laughed loudly and thought: "This way, let's get a month worth of points in a single day."
*Sigh~*
Shina and Yuki just sighed seeing Theo laughing out of nowhere since it was no longer the first time he did it.
Yuki and Shina were also growing a lot from fighting in this battle. Their techniques were constantly improving and getting easier and easier for them to use.
After almost 4 hours of battling, Theo managed to reach the second stage of his movement technique <Lightning Shadow Steps>.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtDue to that, the speed at which he was moving at this time was simply too fast, not giving time for the animals or monsters attacks him. The only thing they could attack was the after-images Theo left behind.
Shina and Yuki were also quite surprised as Theo's speed increased. He got even faster when he used his movement ability <Golden Fox Movement>, leaving behind two after-images.
"This way, Shina and Yuki will be able to gain some experience with this battle. And I'm going to be able to get a lot of points too," Theo thought as he plucked the heart out of an Orc with his hands in the form of Golden Fox claws and hit the vital points of other nearby animals and monsters, with his four tails covered by Darkness Mana.
Even though they had killed over a thousand at this point, the animals and monsters kept coming. It was almost dark and there were bodies scattered all over the battlefield.
Theo, who was closest to the Moon Lotus Flower told Shina and Yuki, "It doesn't look like it will take too long for the flower to bloom. Let's continue fighting!"
"YES!!" Shina and Yuki responded excitedly. They had been fighting for a few hours without a stop, but thanks to the miraculous potions Theo bought from his system, they were feeling full of energy even now.
No matter what, they had to put up with it until the end. They had been able to handle this army of animals and monsters so far, what was another hour or two? Even when some monsters or animals were near the Higher Student Kingdom, or even in the Higher Student Kingdom itself. Theo who was on alert all the time, and was the first to go to them to attack, not wanting to give them chances to get to Shina or Yuki.
Despite this, Shina and Yuki could not avoid being injured sometimes. Even Theo ended up receiving a lot of attacks because of the large number of monsters and animals that were in that place. Fortunately, none were in a kingdom above the Higher Student Kingdom. So, thanks to that, they have managed to stay victorious until now.

After many fights and battles... the flower that they waited for began to bloom.
"Shina! You wait to get it when it blooms, Yuki and I are going to protect you," said Theo.
"Right!" Yuki agreed.
"Yes," Shina agreed, too.
"Haaaah! Just a little bit more!" Theo screamed, turning into a Golden Fox... But this time it wasn't as small as before. After a few tests, Theo found out that the more Mana he released, the larger he would grow. He wasn't as large before, but because of his current good control over the Mana, he was using his power to the maximum, made him stand five meters in length and three meters in height. Theo looked up at the sky and began to roar aloud.
"ROAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAR!"
The clouds began to darken and thunder threaten to strike at any moment.
*Thunder* [TL: *shrugs* I couldn't find any proper onomatopeya]
When Theo stopped roaring, lightning and thunder began to fall without stopping on the battlefield. Yuki and Shina were surprised at the sight of such a phenomenon, but they concentrated on doing what Theo had said.
"KILL!!!!!" Theo yelled and started running towards the Animals and Monsters without fear. Crushing a lot with his paws and at the same time casting Lightning and Dark spells to all directions.
*Thunder*
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmExplosions after explosions were happening because of Theo's violent attacks.
"Retreat!" Many of the Animal and Monster leaders, seeing Theo's transformation, chose to retreat.
Even more so after they saw that he was the true and only one: "Damn Golden Fox."
"HAHAHA! Come on! Let's fight!" Theo shouted loudly and began to control his tails, causing them to expand toward the army of animals and monsters.
With each of his attacks, he killed at least ten of the animals or the monsters.
"Damn it! Damn Golden Fox!!" They began to curse Theo out loud.
"He will not let us run away, everyone will attack him together!" Said an Orc Lord who was also in the First Tier of the Higher Student Kingdom. But regarding the amount of Mana, power and techniques, Theo overcame him in all of them! And by a large margin as well. So even if they are on the same level, Lord Orc had no chance to fight head-on against Theo. So he chose to attempt encouraging the other animals and monsters from the battlefield to attack together.
"Hmph! Do you think that I am afraid just because you are greater in number? HAHAHA! This is very laughable." Theo laughed out loud. "Come on, I'm going to kill you all!"
Yuki wanted to join Theo and fight by his side, but she knew she had to stay with Shina and protect her. Since she knew that Theo was drawing everyone's attention to him so they could succeed in taking the Moon Lotus Flower.
Thus, Yuki who was concentrating her Mana also started to manifest it, making her grow a bit too. She did not get as big as Theo, but she was not to be taken lightly. Especially now that her ice attacks were much more powerful. She began to attack all those who dared to get close to her and Shina, turning them into ice statues.
And at that moment, a strong light began to emanate from the Moon Lotus Flower. That was the sign that it had bloomed. Many of the animals and monsters had already lost all hope of getting the Moon Lotus Flower, but Theo and Yuki never lowered their guard and continued to attack all those who tried to approach. Especially Theo who had a large reserve of Mana. He continued to launch attacks from afar with his affinity for Lightning and Darkness.
"Damn it! At least let us go!" The Animals and Monsters once again began to curse Theo.
Little did they know that for Theo they were just Mobs points to increase his power.
