1258. Slow approach

Noah's only real target was the old continent. The new one was unapproachable due to the presence of the quasi-rank 7 specimen, and most packs there could work together without creating too many internal conflicts.

One attack on those lands would cause a massive mobilization of reinforcements. Noah would find himself against hordes of rank 6 magical beasts in no time.

Attacking the old continent was safer, and it required less planning. Noah didn't even need a strategy there. He could take his time and slowly kill all the Eternal Snakes in those regions.

Noah didn't need to aim for the peak rank 6 specimens right away. He could slowly clear the area with hit-and-run tactics. It didn't matter if he happened to lose a corpse or two in the process.

Moreover, he didn't even need to salvage the Snake's glands unless he met a peak rank 6 specimen. He could pursue the quickest approach and ignore the damage that he inflicted on those creatures.
