Chapter 179: Kai's Resolve

The journey to the Western Area itself wasn't dangerous. Tasha and Ayaka met Kai but didn't make a fuss. For Tasha, she was content to see Kai was fine while Ayaka kept glancing at him, wondering what kind of monster could cause him such an injury, especially with Ria beside him.

Nonetheless, she wasn't going to ask in this battle and might not ask in the future unless he decided to tell it himself. 

Kai led the group from the front, using his status as the acting general. Unfortunately, he couldn't go fast like when he led the Reserve Unit as there were still several monsters ahead that needed to be pulverized first so as to prevent them from reaching the Middle Region. 

He even spread the army as soon as they entered the Western Region to sweep this area while marching toward Yuki and Alicia.

"!!" Yuki was talking with Alicia, who seemed to be injured in her right arm. Yuki noticed him and locked onto his eyes. "So you are the one who comes."
