Did anyone else find his and Gloxinia's deaths at the hands of Chandler to be pretty pointless in the grand scheme of things?

Suddenly, somehow appearing from the other side of the fucking continent, Drole and Gloxinia appear to distract and weaken Chandler so the Sins can escape and survive. So they fight Chandler and throw like 3 attacks at him, all of which do hurt him a bit when they actually hit.

And then they start monologing mentally...

...and just standing there...

...doing nothing...

...as they get butchered...

They monologue about being able to save the next generation and die like chumps. Then Chandler proceeds to easily catch up to the Seven Deadly Sins with main character Meliodas waking up from his demon nap just in time to save them. I apologize, the fight and deaths of Drole and Gloxinia felt completely pointless because of the events which transpired just after it.

They couldn't have logically gotten there from across the world to a battle they displayed no knowledge of nor did they know that Chandler was released or really who he was really either. They did literally nothing in meta terms, just threw a couple of ok level attacks and then died with a mental speech. Their actions hold no real greater meaning to the story considering that Meliodas could've just woken up when Chandler first started getting serious and saved the Sins' asses then.

When I was recounting the story to someone, I had even forgotten about that part. It was basically filler there to kill off two characters the writer didn't want to write about anymore or didn't have any real ideas.
