"Does the soul of Phantasm Beasts remain, or are they devoured by the Phantasm Beast who killed them?" Reinhard asked with a tilt of his head.
"No, the Phantasm devours the magic of the things they kill while the souls wander off or fade into the planet of Paradise," Joseph said.
Reinhard blinked in surprise before turning his head slightly toward Joseph. "So, the souls are still there to be devoured?"
Marie nodded. "It is, but you would only be gaining the memories and experience, not so much an increase in lifeforce."
Reinhard's eyes widened slightly, understanding dawning. "Because it lacks the magic?"
Joseph nodded as he crossed his arms. "The magic is tied closely to the soul, so while the Phantasm Beasts are devouring the magic of their prey. It also means they're devouring the lifeforce and leaving behind just everything else."
