Turning his attention away from the ever approaching lights of the Goblin’s torches, Oberon looked down at the area around the campsite and saw that everyone else was already preparing for the assault; the other Pixie flew off towards the Goblins clutching something grotesque in his hands, the Slimes also left either to find a vantage point or on a course to circle around the torches, while the rats seemed to be either digging a trench or covering themselves with mud; maybe both.

Fortunately he had been able to finish learning Mana Dart in time but with the Goblin horde growing closer it seemed like Oberon’s time was up; right now he needed to help prepare for the inevitable battle and as the support he knew what role he would be most useful in. Mana Dart would come in handy when the Goblins arrived but at the moment his time and mana was best spent buffing the others, not on a pre-emptive strike.

Swooping back down towards the ground Oberon stopped off at the pile of mana crystals and grabbed one in each hand before flying over to the Lizard who was still spitting small clouds of poison into the air; perhaps she was trying to achieve something different with her abilities the same way he was. Careful not to get to close to the toxic vapours, Oberon raised a hand and prepared to cast Shield on the Lizard before a thought occurred to him. Earlier he had tried to cast a Shield spell using nature mana and had gained some experience in the Minor Regeneration skill, but the ability itself failed to activate and he had instead produced a regular shield as always; since he was going to be running around casting Shield on everyone he might as well try and earn a new ability while he was at it.

Letting a smile creep across his face Oberon raised his hand again and cast Shield, but as he did so he attempted to bring forth the same kind of energy that he used when he cast Minor Heal like he had tried to do with the Dire Rat earlier. The result was what he had expected, the tell-tale shimmer of a shield being applied, but with any luck in the background he was accumulating experience towards a new ability.

Leaving the Lizard behind Oberon next flew over to where he had seen the rats huddling together. It took longer than he expected, dug into a foxhole and covered in mud as they were, and he almost missed them entirely; it was only the fact he had seen them earlier that let him find them and cast his shield on them. The Dire Rat he had healed earlier still had a shield so he focused on the large rat and the smaller one who he had seen earlier, once more trying to use nature mana to create the effect.
