Chapter 1940: Not Just One

"Essence Races?" Rean couldn't help but ask. "Are they like spirits?"

"Kind of." Frasco didn't totally agree. "There's one main difference between them and the spirits. No, that's not correct. It's not like all spirits are purely made of energy. Some of them do have bodies. Anyways, the main difference is that the Essence Races don't have an actual soul."

"Does that mean they didn't have sentience?" Fay was the first one to think about it.

"No, no, no." Yet, Frasco shook his head. "They did have intelligence and sentience. It's just that their memories, emotions, and things like that were kept inside their essences. The Essence Races truly didn't have any members with a body. It was all about essences with sentience but no souls. In a certain way, you could say that the essences were the souls themselves. You could think of them as walking souls."
