"What exactly is this drug?"
"It's a new drug from the Life School, capable of greatly enhancing the strength and constitution of your soldiers. It makes them fierce, unafraid of death, craving carnage, and able to heal quickly from fatal injuries."
"What's the catch? I may not understand you Transcendents, but a drug that grants such power must have a price... otherwise, your Life School would have taken over the world long ago."
"Your insight is profound, Count. In fact, the drug works by stimulating the body's internal potential, significantly increasing physical power. The price is that it needs to absorb life force from the outside."
"Life force?"
"Normally, just increasing the amount of daily food intake would suffice; however, if someone is severely injured on the battlefield and needs a large amount of life force in a short period, they would have to resort to devouring and plundering."
"Please, continue."
