Outskirt Of The Forest Of Never Return

As the sun came out, everyone prepared to march into the Forest Of Never Return. 

Everyone was outfitted with the best equipment that would not only protect them from deadly monster assaults but would also improve their combat ability and strength. 

General Valeria was now dressed in heavy metal armor, with her entire body covered in thick blood-red armor, including her face, which was protected by a metal helmet with stunning ornate decorations that made it appear even more oppressive. 

Standing side by side with Yuan, she instantly removed her helmet and leaned forward to kiss him on the cheek, surprising everyone.

"Since we're approaching the wilderness, I'm not sure when I'll get the chance to do something like this to you..." Valeria replied with a little smile and another peck on his other cheek.
