Chapter 184: 184: Return

However, Gruul's loyalty wasn't blind. He won't let a threat to Val's life exist.

Gruul continued, "But master, my duty as your subordinate is to teach you the responsibilities of a Devil God and correct you when you're wrong. Just let her die. It's better this way. It will save you from a world of trouble."

"What do you mean?" Val asked.

"Looking out for a mortal reeking of holy power is a mistake you'll deeply regret. A Devil God can never be friends with those who serve the light. Once she realizes who you are, she will turn on you," Gruul replied.

"So, you are telling me to nip the bud before it blossoms," Val said with his eyebrow raised.

Gruul nodded gravely, "That would be the wise course of action, Master. As this era's Devil God, you should not let emotions affect your judgment."

The words of the ancient devil made Val pause.
