Chapter 567: Start of the Battle
"Yes, Mother. I’ll depart after this. It’s better to go as soon as possible. After all, it wouldn’t be polite to keep ’him’ waiting," he said with a hint of a joke.
However, no one took it as a joke—Aldrian was heading into devil territory, and they knew ’him’ referred to the devil lord. According to Aldrian’s information, the devil lord was the key to everything that had happened. He was the mastermind, the one who knew things even the members of the Seven Deadly Sins did not.
If the devil lord could be defeated early, their chances of collapsing the devils’ forces quickly and stopping the summoning process would grow significantly. To achieve that, Aldrian’s role was crucial. He would move swiftly toward the devil lord’s palace while the others launched attacks from various sides of the territory.
With this strategy, they aimed to scatter the devils’ attention, disrupt their coordination, and create confusion.
Irene sighed as she walked up to Aldrian and hugged him tightly.
"Don’t push yourself too hard. If something truly life-threatening happens, you can always retreat. Your life is the most important," she said.
Aldrian smiled, returned his mother’s hug, and nodded.
"Son, be careful out there. We don’t know what the devils have prepared this time. You must not let your strength make you arrogant or complacent. Assume everything in the devil territory is as strong as you, and you’ll stay alert to your surroundings," Aldrey said from beside them.
Aldrian nodded.
"Yes, Father. I’ll keep that in mind."
They spoke for a while, and before long, the time had come for Aldrian to leave.
