"Through the fire authority that was given by the gods to the kobolds, hereby I command the fire elements to bend for my will and realize my desire!"
Right after Ethan finished his chanting, Matthew's fist-sized fireball quickly materialized in under a second as he gathered the fire elements way quicker than he was able to do, and sent the fireball heading straight towards Matthew, who was only a few meters away in front of him.
The fireball wouldn't have enough strength to really deal significant damage to Matthew since it was a quick fireball that was made up of barely enough fire elements to make a fireball and Ethan also didn't have a real intention to hurt Matthew. And with Matthew's current strength and the scales on his body, Matthew could just slap the fireball out of existence.
However, Matthew didn't do that since he knew that he could use Ethan's fireball in one of his experiments with the orange aura ability. And he was exactly doing that just now.
