Reincarnated As A Chameleon And Eating Everything To Evolve

"Well, how is it? Are you all satisfied yet?"

"It's amazing!" The second kobold said while he dropped down from a tree above, "I'm not tired yet! Brother Matthew, let's have a tree swinging race!"

'My tongue will never lose to you!'

"I feel my body is really light, yet so strong! It is as if I could do anything I wanted with them and they listen to whatever I told them to do! It's really awesome, brother Matthew!" The third kobold said while doing a one-handed handstand.

'Okay now, who had suddenly taught her gymnastics?'

Playing with the ball of fire that he controlled to fly whenever he wanted, the first kobold also said,

"Yes brother, I agree with the second brother and the third sister. Not only does this white steam thing enhance our bodies' strength and toughness but it also improves our senses and our connection with our bodies. What do you call this, brother Matthew?"

'I think that makes sense. I've never thought about it before, but me being able to keep up with the human general's movements and attacks better after activating the wolf's aura ability is maybe due to that increase in connection with my own body.'

'If I have to make a guess then is it the nervous system that was also boosted by the aura to increase our reaction time, reflex, and enable us to think faster? The aura did enhance our overall bodies' strength and toughness, it's not weird if it also enhances the nervous system.'

"Brother Matthew? What is this ability called?" The first kobold asked.

"Ah yes. It's called an aura ability. It's the same as the ones that the kobold warriors used to enhance the strength of certain parts of their bodies and their weapons. At least that's what I've heard from Nass and the other kobold warriors when I asked them about aura."

"But I haven't seen them cover their whole body with this white hazy steam before. How do you get this aura ability? I've also seen that one human back then also used something similar when he fought you brother, can we also use this aura ability?"

"Of course! It should be very possible if you've had proficient control over them, it is possible to recreate this aura ability with your own aura. But if you want to start learning aura, I suggest you start by doing what the kobold warriors are doing and try to enhance just one part of your body for a short burst period of time when attacking instead of constantly strengthening it like what we're doing right now."

"And I think it will be easier for you three to learn how to control your aura better while in this state. You could try to feel how the white aura that is currently covering your whole body moves."

"I also have a theory that the white aura that is currently boosting your body is not entirely mine. I think a huge part of them is actually your own aura and my aura only acts as a guide to initiate your aura core. This means that if you can feel how your own aura moves in your body right now when it is stimulated by my aura, you can recreate it later even without my aura initiating the movement of your aura."

"Then brother Matthew, let's learn right no-"

"Wait hold it right there!" Matthew suddenly stopped the first kobold kid, making the three kobolds who were very excited to learn more about this amazing aura look at Matthew with question marks all over their faces.

"Don't you all remember that you were supposed to be hungry?"

The three kobolds then looked at each other, then looked at their own stomach and their adrenaline finally calmed down a little for them to be able to feel their hunger start creeping up again.

But still feeling the overwhelming power inside their bodies and the idea of learning how to use them on their own made the three kids hesitant whether they should just fast for the day and spend all their time today learning how to use their own aura.

"Don't be rushed, we have all the time we want to get as strong as we want ourselves to be. For now, let's test out your new strength to hunt our breakfast, is that good?" Matthew said to the kids.

"Yes!" The three kobolds said.

"I will turn off the aura ability first since wasting aura is not a wise thing to do especially before a fight." With that, the sliver of aura that was constantly going into the three kobolds had disappeared. And the hazy white aura started to subside from all four of their bodies.

With the overwhelming feeling of power gone from their bodies, the three kobolds looked slightly dispirited and a feeling of longing for the wolf's aura ability started to take root in their hearts.

'I pray to the bearded god that what happens to the kids right now aren't withdrawal symptoms…'

'I don't want to accidentally create addicts here…'

"Um…kids…? Folks…? You're all right?" Matthew asked the kids.

"Yeah…"

"We're alright brother…"

"We're okay…"

"We're going to go hunting for our breakfast so, maybe you should be more energetic than this…" He said, trying to wake up the kids.

But the three kobolds' faces were still the same.

Matthew then sighed and said,

"I'm going to activate the aura ability again when fighting the deers, you know?"

"Let's go!"

"Come on, brother Matthew! What are we waiting for?"

"Yay!"

'Yup, rehab is in order as soon as possible.' Matthew thought to himself before leading the kids towards the forest to search for their prey for today.

The group wasn't as unfortunate as yesterday and they found a group of deers near the usual berry bush hotspot that Matthew had known before.

"Okay, I will take on 2 of them while you three will each fight one deer. Can you do it?" Matthew asked the kids while they were hiding some distance away from the group of deers.

"With brother's aura ability, we're sure we can do it!" The first kobold said while the twins nodded in agreement.

"Yeah…Sure… Just be careful and don't be too reckless. Remember, getting slightly stronger doesn't mean you are invincible. There is always someone out there who is stronger than you…" Matthew said as he remembered the human army.

"Of course, we'll always remember it, brother Matthew. Our goal is to get so strong that no matter how many humans there are, and no matter what tricks they use, we will have enough strength to destroy them all." The first kobold said, clenching his fist.

The twins also firmly nodded their heads hearing the first kobold remark's and the lights in their eyes were no less sharp than the first kobold himself.

Seeing the resolve the three kids had, Matthew nodded his head and said,

"Alright kids, this will be your actual first step in getting stronger! And this will also be a ceremony to celebrate that you're now officially ȧduŀt kobolds and not kids anymore!"

"Here we go!" Matthew said before activating his wolf aura ability to envelop him and the three kobolds with the white aura.

Running to the group of deers, Matthew quickly went after the biggest deer of the group and provoked one other deer by slapping its head using his tongue.

Then the three kids soon followed after him and each one of them targeted one deer each and they engaged them as soon as they were in front of each other.

The deers were startled at first when they saw other creatures appear out of nowhere and started going after them. But after seeing that they outnumbered their attackers, the deers prioritized fighting back against the creatures that were only as big as themselves, even slightly smaller when they take into account the kobolds' slightly skinny figures.

When the first kobold said that beasts were naturally stronger than the kobolds, he was not kidding as even now that they were enhanced by the wolf aura ability, the kobolds were only able to go toe to toe with the deer's strength.

Leaving his grandpa's magic staff back at the wolf's nest, the first kobold swung his claws towards the deer that he was targeting only to be deflected by the deer's sturdy antler. And the same scene was happening over at the second kobold and the third kobold where their simple attacks were easily defended by the deers.

Using his 360 degrees vision to see how the three kobolds were doing, Matthew shouted at them,

"Good! You're using the punching technique that I've taught you before. But it won't be enough if you just started punching without any setups or strategy first! Try to find their weakness or create an opportunity for yourself by faking an attack or moving to their blind spot at the right moment!"

With that advice, the three kobolds started to move around the deers and slipped in attacks here and there while blocking the deer's attacks with their enhanced strength.

It was going quite favorably for the kobolds until one of the deers that the second kobold was fighting suddenly backed up for a bit before it ran forward as fast as it could and headbutted away the second kobold who was trying to block the attack with his bȧrė hands.

Fortunately, the aura protected the second kobold's body from receiving fatal injuries from being in contact with a tremendous force and he quickly got up from the ground and went straight at the deer searching for revenge.

"Don't block all of their attacks, some attacks were better off dodged than blocked. If it was clear that the enemy was gathering strength or momentum to attack, you need to either dodge them or stop them from doing what they want!" Matthew said before he pulled one of the deer's legs with his tongue to stop its charge.

"Come on kids! Let's do this properly!"
