Chapter 103 - 103: Star Magic Formation
"Huh? Again?" Theo looked strangely at some beings that had yet again appeared in his field of vision. They were Goblins, and there were a total of ten of them this time. By the direction they were heading, Theo calculated that they were also heading to the Orc Village.
Theo didn't expect to be so lucky! Are the Goblins at war with the Orc? If so… not only will he be able to kill a village of Orcs, but a tribe of Goblins was also being presented to him. Although he didn't know if that was certain, the chances of it being true were very high.
A mischievous smile formed on the fox's face. Theo was more excited than before when he found out where the Orc Village was.
"<Lightning Shadows Steps>!" Theo yelled, running toward the Goblins and leaving a trail of Blue Lightning in his wake. With his five tails pointed up, much like the way a scorpion would ready itself to make a fatal strike with its tail, he surrounded each of his tails in True Blue Lightning Mana.
Shortening his distance from the Goblins, Theo lept! His momentum was increased by the True Blue Lightning on his paws. At the same time, he also launched a powerful attack from his five tails with the same power, striking the heads of five Goblins.
"Bang!"
Like watermelons being blown up, the Goblins' heads turned into a mist of blood. Their bodies were still standing… but slowly began to fall one by one with the sound of a "thump."
"…"
"…"
The other five remaining Goblins were alarmed, but they could barely keep up with the after-images of a huge Golden Fox coated in a shroud of Darkness Mana and Blue Lightning Mana.
Before they could notice that yet another had already lost his head to the bite of the golden fox, the fox spat out the Goblin's head and laughed ominously at those who remained. It made them wet themselves in fear, it was just too terrifying! Even to them, who were the ones usually considered to be monsters.
Theo opened his mouth wide and threw a ball of True Lightning at the Goblins.
"Bang!"
The ball crashed into them, overheating the Goblins' bodies. Soon after, they simply exploded!
"Boom!"
"Huh? Was that supposed to happen?" Theo was surprised to see what just happened. He didn't expect anything like this, at least it had never happened before he started to use True Blue Lightning.
Doubting what occurred, he approached the other Goblins he had killed and used <Devour> on them all.

"Just testing on other beings to find out…"
Having nothing left to do there, Theo continued to run.

The moment he got close enough to see the Orc Village, the sounds of metal, bursts of mana, and shouts from Orcs and Goblins were heard.
Theo marvelled at this sight. "I was right! The Goblins have indeed gone to war against the Orcs!" With a crooked smile on his fox face, he watched from afar.
Theo did not attack them immediately, he now came to an understanding. "If I start attacking and killing a lot of them… won't they run away after realizing that they have no chance of winning?"
Theo didn't want to squander this chance to increase his power by letting them escape, and although he was strong, he was still just one person… if everyone started running at the same time, he would only be able to kill a few of them. This was not the first time Theo had come across a similar situation, but before, there wasn't such a large number for him to kill.
"What to do… what to do… think Theo, think…"
"…"
"…"
"Hahaha! I know what to do! In fact, it's simple! I just need to buy a formation that surrounds the entire perimeter of where they are now!"
With that thought in mind, Theo opened his system and researched formations.
[10,000,000 System Points]
[Star Magic Formation - Five Magic Stones form a formation - Maximum Size 2km]
[Warning: You can only arrest those in the Kingdom of the Magi and below]
"sigh~ well, although it has a high cost, I think it will be worth it because I can use it in other situations too!" Having decided, Theo bought the formation.
Soon after, five fist-sized magic stones appeared.
Information on how to use the formation also popped into his mind, so it didn't take long for him to figure out what he had to do. Wasting no time, he started moving around where the Orcs and Goblins were. Theo then began to spread the Five Magic Stones, forming huge star pentagram.
After he finished making preparations without being noticed, Theo sat on the floor, still in his Golden Fox form, and began reciting a few words. Adding some of his True Mana to the formation, a line nearly invisible to the naked eyes started to connect the stones together.
Time passed by slowly.
Almost an hour later, Theo was a little exhausted from using so much True Mana, but he also had a smug smile on his face. The excitement in his eyes was as bright as sunshine.
"Bang!"
The ground immediately began to tremble nonstop as the scattered stones began to project five bright spires of light high in the sky!
Shortly after that, they rapidly began to expand into the form of a gigantic circle. The light formed a vast round dome connecting and surrounding everyone within the formation.
By then, Theo had already been noticed. But now it was too late for them to do anything about being trapped in the Star Magic Formation.
Seeing that his plan worked, Theo got up and walked towards the Goblins and Orcs. His fox smile turned into a broad grin full of battle intent.
