"Stop arguing, all of you, and I'll do it!" Flan interrupted, taking over the task of testing the potion.
"How can we do that?" Walker asked, shaking his head. He believed that he had the ability to transform into a werewolf at will, and it would be best if he did the dangerous task of testing the potion. If something went wrong, he would have a higher chance of survival.
However, the other werewolves disagreed, as Walker was the one who tested the potion the last time, and it would not be wise to put him at risk again.
Ivan was speechless when he saw that the werewolves were fighting over him and were even planning to start a fight.
"Alright, all of you, stop!"
When Ivan spoke, Fran and the others stopped talking and turned to look at him.
"Do you have so little faith in the potion I brew?" Ivan shook his head helplessly, then cleared his throat and continued.
"I just want to find someone to experiment with the potion's effects. I can assure you that there is no danger in the process. Anyone can do it!"
Since Ivan had made his point, Walker and the others stopped fighting over it, and in the end, Flan insisted that he drink the modified Wolfsbane Potion.
Ivan then begged some more wolf blood from the werewolf wizards and went back to his room to brew the potion, telling them that if all went well, the new potion would be ready in the morning.
Flan, Walker, and the others were filled with anticipation and apprehension, both for a surprise and for the success of Ivan's potion.
Fran had even thought of some comforting words in advance, in case something happened to the modified version of the wolf venom potion, or if the effects were not ideal.
They spent the night in this manner, and when Ivan came out of his room the next morning with the Wolfsbane Potion, he found Fran and the others waiting for him in the hall.
Both Alicia and Doggart were there when they heard the news.
Doggett, in particular, looked at Ivan with a strange expression. He remembered that Alicia had told him that Ivan's skill in alchemy had improved dramatically since his return, and that he had surpassed her.
As far as he knew, Ivan's strength had also improved greatly during this period of time. Now, he could even find time to improve the potion…
Even for a genius, that's a bit much, isn't it? Doggett thought.
At this moment, Fran had already taken the potion from Ivan and gulped it down!
Gulp, gulp …
The cold potion flowed down his throat and into his stomach, and then gradually spread throughout his body. He closed his eyes to feel it, and felt that it was no different from the original wolf venom potion.
Had it failed? Or had the improved Wolfsbane potion only prolonged the potion's effects? Was that why he couldn't feel it?
As he thought this, he heard Ivan's voice.
"Now you can try transforming into a werewolf!"
Turn into a werewolf?
Flan was stunned, and the others looked confused. It wasn't the full moon, unless…
With that in mind, he tried to remember how it felt to transform at the full moon.
Within moments, Flun's body began to swell rapidly, his limbs elongating and becoming muscular and powerful, and his silver-white hair began to grow out of his body in a frenzy…
Howl…
With a howl, a silver-white werewolf over two meters tall appeared in front of them, its large brown eyes filled with disbelief.
I actually transformed into a werewolf without a full moon?
Fran looked down at her hairy, thick hands, which were indeed in werewolf form.
"Is this the effect of the modified wolfsbane potion?" Flan asked excitedly, opening her fanged mouth wide.
The other werewolves turned to look at Ivan, equally shocked to see him in his werewolf form.
It must be noted that, with the exception of an anomaly like Walker, werewolves are unable to transform unless there is a full moon, which makes them no different from ordinary wizards most of the time except for having more life force.
Not only would they not be able to enjoy the combat power boost of the werewolf form, but they would also be discriminated against…
"That's right!" Ivan said, nodding as everyone stared at him.
"So we'll all be able to do what Walker did? How long will the potion last?" Flan asked, clenching her hands into fists as she felt the surge of power within her.
He felt that if he could maintain this form in battle, his combat strength would definitely double…
"It lasts about fifty days," Ivan explained.
"So we'll be able to switch back and forth between the forms of a werewolf and a wizard for the next fifty days?" Flun was pleasantly surprised. Ivan's improved potions were beyond his wildest dreams.
He originally thought that Ivan's modified Wolfsbane Potion would only extend the potion's duration and lower costs, but he did not expect it to be so powerful.
"That's right!" Ivan smiled, then went on. "But there's another effect of this improved potion, well… I don't know if it's a side effect."
Walker and the others tensed at Ivan's words, but Flan found them normal. After all, the potion had such powerful effects that some side effects were acceptable.
However, if the side effects are too severe, such as lifespan loss, then you have to weigh whether the situation is urgent or not.
Flun's brow was furrowed, but Ivan read his mind and spoke to dispel their suspicions.
"Don't worry, it's not that bad. It'll just make you temporarily unable to infect other wizards."
From Ivan's point of view, the greatest threat to a werewolf is not their extraordinary regenerative abilities or physical prowess, but their ability to infect their enemies with their teeth and claws!
This forced their opponents to put in their best effort to avoid being scratched or bitten by their opponents.
"That's it?" For a moment, Fran was caught between laughter and tears.
Walker and the others were relieved to hear this, and it dawned on them that Ivan had just said something extraordinary.
A werewolf wizard was the first to react, grabbing Ivan's wrist urgently and questioning him with trembling lips.
"Hales… did you just say that this potion would render us incapable of infecting other wizards?"
(PS: There is a reason why Ivan was not kicked back to his original time, and will be mentioned later…)
