Chapter 163 – Chapter 163 – Werewolf Research With Clara (2)
The werewolf growled as soon as he saw me, baring his teeth. Whether it was an immature individual or originally short, he was shorter than the werewolf I had defeated.
“Are you a real werewolf?”
“Yes. It’s a living werewolf that was saved with difficulty. You can’t go close. Because it is dangerous.”
As if to prove that Clara’s words were true, the werewolf immediately rushed towards me with the momentum to break out of the cage.
It was such a strong shock that the entire cage shook. The werewolf roared at him, sticking his claws and snout through the cracks in the cage.
“Is this safe?”
“That cage is not made of ordinary iron. You don’t have to worry. Besides, there are many trustworthy party members around Seonggi-nim, right?”
Well, there is no need to be afraid of a werewolf with Lily, Wolyeong, and Terena next to you. I continued my conversation with Clara, keeping my eyes fixed on the werewolf.
“But why is there a living werewolf in the back alley black market? Is there a demand for this too?”
“Actually, it didn’t have to be a living werewolf. I just happened to be captured alive. Rather, it is better. If the spell was a living werewolf, wouldn’t it have been poorly researched?”
He probably wanted a werewolf’s head or hide. Ordinary wolf’s head or skin is not enough. Anyway, I don’t know what people’s tastes are.
Well, as Clara said, in the end it was a good thing. Thanks to that, you can study the werewolves’ weaknesses and how to attack them.
“But what should I study?”
It would not be enough to simply poke at which part is weak. But you can’t ask a werewolf what his weakness is.
“For now, wouldn’t it be better to find out if the known weaknesses are true?”
At Terena’s words, I tilted my head.
“What are your known weaknesses? Terena, do you know anything?”
“Anyway, it’s because I’ve studied the basics of monsters. It’s the first time I’ve seen such a living werewolf, but there is data based on the testimonies of people who have fought.”
“There is such a thing. So what is a werewolf’s weakness?”
“The most famous is, of course, fire.”
A red magic circle formed in Terena’s hand, and flames roared. But even when Terena stretched out her hand towards the werewolf, the werewolf continued to grab her behind bars and growl.
“You don’t look particularly frightened, do you?”
“Even though he’s weak against fire, he doesn’t seem to be afraid of fire.”
The werewolf didn’t seem to be scared at all, even when Terena created more intense flames. Terena fanned the flames even more intensely, as if she had slightly hurt her pride.
“Terena, it’s hot.”
“Hold on for a moment. Because I want to see if he wins or I win.”
“If Terena gave her heart, the whole room might burn down? Calm down and turn off the light.”
Terena glared at the werewolf, extinguishing the flames that raged at her fingertips. Wolyeong, who was watching the scene, said a word.
“Fire may be an effective means of suppression, but I don’t think it can frighten a werewolf.”
“Actually, I don’t even know if it’s an effective means of suppression. Seeing that he’s not afraid, isn’t he actually not very weak against fire?”
“That won’t be it. Because I also have a memory of suppressing werewolves more effectively when I shot a flame-bearing sword.”
“You mean that..?”
I wanted to ask Wol-yeong to shoot a flame-filled sword to find out if it was true, but I couldn’t use the living werewolf I had so hard to find.
Shit. How good would it be if there were dozens of werewolves? With only one, I have no idea how to research it.
Clara spoke beside me while I was messing around with my hand on my chin.
“Perhaps there are scents that werewolves don’t like, or situations that make werewolves lose their minds, or something like that?”
“But Ulu is a bigger and stronger monster than you think. Just because a method works for a guy like this, will it work for Ulu as well?”
“No matter how big and smart he is, the original version is a werewolf, so the common weakness of werewolves is inevitable, right?”
“Smart guy… It doesn’t seem like I get it right away Let’s do some more research.”
Research using werewolves confined in cages continued. We created numerous situations and paid close attention to which werewolves were weak.

“Whoa! This is harder than I thought.”
Lily muttered as she lay down on her stone floor. Even so, it has been several hours since her research began.
However, not much information was obtained. Among the information obtained, the only useful information was that the werewolf’s vision was fixed on the target he was aiming for?
When I drew the werewolf’s attention by deliberately shedding the smell of blood, the werewolf was noticeably slow to sense Lily or Wolyeong’s breath of life. Maybe this will come in handy against Ulu as well.
And another thing, that there is a scent that werewolves don’t like. Werewolves showed aversion to certain objects.
Of course, if I said I hate it, it would be more like killing it, but maybe it could be used to attract or distract the werewolf?
“Terena. What are some of the things we’ve tried so far that werewolves don’t like?”
“Let’s see… Like the scent of red root and candle wax? Others didn’t react so badly.”
“The red root and the wax wax… Then, if we spill the liquid made from the red root on a werewolf, how will it react?”
When I said that, Clara shook her head.
“There aren’t that many red roots. In the first place, the fact that I gave it to heal Miss Elizabeth this time was a considerable amount of energy.”
“Okay? If the red root doesn’t work… What else did you just say? Did you say candle wax?”
The party members nodded. I took out a candle from the wall and held it in my hand.
“Then, if you pour candle wax on a werewolf, how will the werewolf react?”
“Candle wax? You can try it if you want.”
As Terena cast her spell, a magic circle formed in Terena’s hand, and candle wax dripped out. As expected of a royal palace wizard, he knows how to do this.
“Then would you like to pour some candle wax on that werewolf?”
“This… Is it okay?”
She asked as if she was worried about Lily from the side. Lily wrapped her magic around her fists and untied her hands as if a fight was about to break out between her.
“Are you okay. That cage is not made of ordinary iron.”
“But something doesn’t feel right… “
“Lily must be worrying too much. Terena, try it.”
“Yes.”
As Terena cast the spell, a magic circle opened over the werewolf’s head. While the werewolf was in a daze for a while, candle wax poured from the magic circle like a waterfall.
“Kreurreuk!!! Aaaaa!!! Kaaaaagh!!!”
As soon as the werewolf was covered with candle wax, he started running wild. Apparently, he hates candle wax. Seeing you react like you’re about to die like that.
“It’s candle farming… You’re reacting to something pretty out of the blue… “
I watched the werewolf run amok in all directions and stroked his chin. I know werewolves hate candle wax, but how do you use it?
“By the way, Clara, why doesn’t the cage look wider than before?”
“Yes? It can’t be?”
As soon as Clara finished speaking, there was a knocking sound coming from the cage, and the werewolf’s hand broke the bars of the cage.
“It’s dangerous! Get behind me!”
Lily pulled me back. In the meantime, the werewolf broke cage’s bars one after another and came out.
“Kaaaaa!!!”
The werewolf howled ferociously and lunged at us. Wolyeong had already pulled out her sword, and Terena was also preparing to fire a fireball.
“You can’t damage the leather!”
At that critical moment, Clara shouted. She said she was concerned about the merchandise in this situation.
“I’ll take care of it!”
Lily leaped forward and burrowed into the werewolf. The werewolf swung his claws, but Lily deftly dodged the werewolf’s attack and landed a punch in the werewolf’s stomach.
Fuck!!!
I thought it was the sound of a car accident. The werewolf fell flat on the spot. Lily brushed her hand lightly and ran a hand through her hair.
“It seems that there is an effect that makes you stronger if you use candle wax.”
“Perhaps they are in a state of extreme excitement, and they are able to exert power that they normally cannot.”
While Lily and Wolyeong were talking, I cautiously approached the werewolf. The werewolf was not dead, but he was barely breathing.
“I think it will be a real disaster if Ulu is stronger than usual… “
“Wait, wait.”
After Terena put a barrier on herself, she approached the werewolf. She said that when Terena touched the werewolf, a green aura took over Terenna and her werewolf.
“Are you using heels on a werewolf?”
“No, that’s not it. I’m checking the werewolf’s condition once, but I’m getting a lot of fatigue. My breathing is unstable, and my muscles are spasming all over.”
“What do you mean?”
“It seems that you gain instant strength, but it seems that the aftereffects are severe. I think I can use this. If you can excite Ulu and then wait until Ulu gets tired… “
“Oh, that sounds like a pretty good idea.”
After completing our research, we returned to the place where Elizabeth and Isha were. I knocked on the door and went inside, and Isha greeted me in her haste.
“Oh, are you here?”
“What’s wrong, Isha? What’s going on?”
“Oh, nothing happened!”
I guess there is something. Otherwise, there is no reason to be so upset.
Tilting her head, I went to the bed where Elizabeth was lying, and saw Elizabeth’s weeping face.
Isha, you made an accident.
