Chapter 48: Fenrir Tribe

"It seems tough. I know the claws are coming, and I want to defend with alchemical walls, but I can't create them in time."

"The alchemical wall defense won't make it in time."

"Aaaahhhhhh!"

"I got hit by the claws again. This is bad; it's dangerous like this. I understand now what Suu meant; they are feared by both the demon and human tribes."

"Too slow, too slow! Did you defeat the Ice Dragon with your magical dragon? Then the legendary Ice Dragon is nothing. I could easily win! These are werewolf claws; this is the end!"

"You said 'end.' That means I lost, doesn't it? Don't just assume I lost, please."

"Alchemy hasn't lost yet. The Fenrir Tribe looks down on alchemy."

"Fast and powerful, indeed very strong, but my alchemy isn't weak."

"I'll perform alchemy to counter the claws too. There's a method for it. Alchemy isn't limited to one thing; it's versatile depending on how you use and create it."

"I'll use Mithril steel material. I'll shape it into a ring at high speed."

"The ring will be large enough to fit a big tree inside, and Fenrir will understand why I made it this big."

"Alchemy is ever-changing. It evolves based on the user's abilities and imagination. This is alchemy, Mithril collar!"

"What? What will this do? It got on my neck! I can't remove it, I can't!"

"It's made of Mithril, so it won't come off easily, and it's also reinforced with a special enchantment. I mixed very heavy metal into its creation. It's heavier than it looks."

"I incorporated heavy materials into the alchemy process when making it, so it should be extremely heavy."

"Mmm, this shoddy alchemy collar isn't heavy at all. It's not even worth bothering about! Hehehe, this time is the last, werewolf claws!!"

"Wearing the collar, you're attacking me again with the same move. Until now, your speed was too fast for me to catch up."

"But I wonder how it'll be this time? What will happen when I wear the heavy alchemically crafted collar?"

"Huh, what's happening? I can't run!"

"That's right, the alchemy made the collar incredibly heavy. You can't run anymore. It's impossible."

"As I expected, the Fenrir Tribe's movements have become sluggish. From unseen speed to walking pace."
