Matthew observed Ethan's frozen body for quite a while and he finally nodded in satisfaction as he realized that his last attack was already at the same level as the alpha monkey's third ability.
Matthew could vividly see the orange aura going up and down Ethan's whole body and Ethan was completely frozen still in his place without being able to move a single muscle.
"Try coating your hands with aura, Ethan," Matthew said to the paralyzed kobold in front of him.
Ethan wanted to roll his eyes as he felt that it was quite cruel that he was told to do this or that even though his body had been completely frozen by the orange aura. But he thought that while he was already at it, why not go all the way and fully help Matthew's experiment.
