Probably not well enough to satisfy you. [Dante frowns, trying to recall the memory of them. How had it worked...?] The Dream Eaters... I don't know for sure, but they might have been something more... metaphysical. When I was fighting them, they didn't leave corpses behind. They'd just burst into nothingness.

So when I needed to, I could absorb their power into myself that way.

[It all makes sense until you have to explain it, really.]
