As the Slime deflated Oberon let out a sigh of relief; although he hadn't felt in much danger himself during the fight, the near miss from the tendril at the start being an exception, he was still glad to see the end of combat. He was all too aware of how easily things could go wrong; this was not the predictable, safe environment of a video game, no matter what anyone else thought. Beetle's exploded, enemies levelled-up and caught you off guard with their new strength and maybe a Giant Slime could surprise you by being smarter or stronger than you thought.

This was a living breathing world with real and intelligent life forms. He had to remind himself of that sometimes, but every new combat just reinforced the concept in his mind.

Ash was currently admonishing the Lesser Wurm about her reckless tactics against the Giant Slime, which was something the Sprite could agree with. [color=f49ac2]"Is anyone hurt? Torrent? Digbie?"[/color] The Goblin should have known better than to just stand in front of the Slime as it barrelled towards them and Torrent should have known better than to jump head-first into a creature that was accustomed to swallowing its prey whole. Maybe it was something he should bring up once they made it back to camp.

After gently scolding Torrent, Ash wanted them to help her carry her spoils back to the camp. Oberon would gladly help, but before that he had something to deal with; he had levelled-up after defeating the Slime and he needed to distribute some of his skill points before anything else.

He had no idea why the number of skill points they got with each level seemed to have jumped up so much, or why it seemed to be so inconsistent, but right now it meant he had 12 points to work with. Once again the Sprite decided to allocate them to skills that he would not easily be able to level up otherwise and since he had come so close to being caught by the Slime's first attack against him a few moments ago he put the points into Lesser Flight and Faster. [color=f49ac2]"4 points into Lesser Flight II, 5 points into Faster."[/color]

With that done he flew over to where Ash was waiting, landing next to the Pygmy Drake so that they could start figuring out how best to transport the dissected frog back to their camp.
