Even riding a Bone Flying Lizard, Thor still took a day to reach An's location.
Of course, he had also helped the Junior Apprentice deal with a few problems along the way.
For instance, dangerous monsters lurking beneath the earth.
Actually, if Thor didn't need Noah to quickly build up a vast following so they could gather the White Bone Monsters scattered across the Chaos Domain as soon as possible, it would have been better to let Noah face these dangers himself.
For now, it was better to let him grow without too many obstacles.
