He got to the Outer Forest very quickly. It then took him 45 minutes to get to the Inner Forest. With the Beast Wave over, the Magical Beasts went back to their original habitats. The 2nd Circle Magical Beasts took over the Inner Forest while the 3rd Circle Magical Beasts went into the Core Forest.
One thing that changed was that the strongest Magical Beasts both died, leaving a gap in power for the 3rd Circle Magical Beasts to fight over. So now all of them were trying to gain control over the Core Forest and gain the magical herbs that grew there.
Meanwhile, Leo finally found his first target. It was a Late-Stage 2nd Circle Magical Beast, the Green Horned Python. The python saw Leo approach it and hissed loudly. It expanded its body and flung itself toward him.
He calmly entered the Shadow World and Shadow Stepped to behind the python. He pointed his hand at the python and cast a Shadowbind Bolt. The bolt raced against the grass and hit the python before it could react.
