However, one question lingered in Noan's mind—something he simply couldn't understand:
Why would a creature that terrifying remain confined to the ocean?
That's right.
If it was truly that powerful, why hadn't it entered the mainland?
On land, Noan had only encountered low-rank and low-level zombies.
High-rank zombies, or even high-level ones, were rare—practically nonexistent.
If that monster were to step onto land, it would become the undisputed ruler of this entire region.
But no—it stayed offshore. And instead of advancing inland, it launched attacks from the sea, as if something were preventing it from crossing the boundary.
It felt as if there was some mysterious force keeping it at bay… denying it access to the mainland.
Or perhaps… that creature couldn't survive away from the sea.
Its very existence might be bound to the ocean itself.
Those were the only explanations Noan could find that made any sense.
Still, he wasn't overcome by fear or worry.
