Chances are that their death doesn't matter. It's the effect of them losing part of the divine power granted to them (and/or that the God they're the Hero of has) that passes the sacred treasure over to Rou.

I doubt it matters whether or not they lived or died, since he still received their sacred treasure/soul weapon.

Who knows for sure, though. Maybe we'll find out in 341-350! =x
