"The Bodam Kingdom's army is stronger than expected," one man said, his voice firm but edged with strain. "If we hold back now, we'll be crushed. We must commit everything."
"I agree," another replied immediately. "Their assaults are relentless. They don't retreat and they don't hesitate. If they break through our lines…"
He paused, his expression darkening.
"We won't recover."
A third leaned forward, his brows tightly drawn.
"Their high-level experts are the real problem. We've already injured more than once. And yet…" His jaw tightened. "They come back."
A murmur spread across the room.
Unease and disbelief slowly spread.
"…Regeneration?" someone muttered.
"No." Another voice cut in, low and grim. "Their regeneration is strange. It carry more power."
Silence fell for a brief moment before a single phrase surfaced.
"The Secrets of Immortality…"
The words lingered in the air like a curse.
There were rumors that the Bodam Kingdom discovered it before.
