Ryker moved first.
Several "Plunder Shadows" split from his body, scattering in different directions to fracture the enemy's focus.
The Dark Continent summoner roared.
Black tendrils, woven from tangled rule authority, erupted outward and lashed wildly, shredding through the decoys.
"Wrath of the Thunder God: Consecutive Severance!"
Lightning coiled around both of Ryker's arms as he surged forward, blade intent tearing through space itself.
The summoner's projected body cracked.
With a sharp fracture, it split apart, scattering fragments of dark rules into the air.
Ryker didn't hesitate.
He plundered.
[ Plunder Successful: Dark Rule Fragments]
[ New Trait Acquired: Rule Reversal — Dark Shard]
[ Trait Fusion Efficiency +30%]
A sharp glint flashed through his eyes.
This trait directly countered rule-based suppression.
"Good. Again."
The summoner's expression twisted with fury.
The black tendrils condensed into massive blades and cleaved downward.
Ryker pivoted sharply.
"Phantom Mirror Chain-Breath."
Afterimages bloomed across the battlefield as he weaved through the storm of attacks with impossible precision.
"So this is the power of the Dark Continent…"
"…definitely not something to underestimate."
"System. Integrate Rule Reversal — Dark Shard. Reinforce the shield."
[ Trait Aegis Strength +50%]
The tendrils scraped across the barrier with a piercing screech.
But it held.
Ryker countered instantly.
"Wrath of the Thunder God: Burst Lightning Strike!"
Bolts of compressed lightning tore through the void, slamming into the summoner's core.
The figure staggered backward, disbelief flashing across his face.
"You can actually resist rule authority…?"
"That's the power of the Infinite Trait Plunder System."
Ryker's voice was cold.
The summoner's expression darkened.
With a sweep of his hand, multiple colossal dark entities materialized.
Their presence was suffocating.
Each one radiated a devouring force capable of consuming Nen itself.
"Killua. Gon. Stay sharp!"
Ryker shifted his stance, pulling the formation apart as he prepared another plunder cycle.
He understood one thing clearly—
Only by taking stronger traits could he fight what was coming.
"Infinite Trait Plunder System… give me everything."
The battlefield erupted.
Several dark entities collapsed under coordinated strikes.
Ryker moved through them like a storm, activating plunder without pause.
System alerts rang out in rapid succession.
[ Plunder Successful: Dark Entity — Breath of Chaos]
[ New Trait: Chaos Domain — Suppression]
[ Total Traits: 120]
"My traits… keep evolving."
The summoner's face turned grim, fury erupting.
"You think this is enough to stop me?"
Ryker lifted his gaze.
"I'm not here to stop you."
"I'm here to overturn everything."
His focus sharpened to a singular point.
All fused traits ignited.
"Wrath of the Thunder God: Infinite Judgment!"
A vortex of lightning detonated around him.
Thunder and darkness collided violently, twisting space into spirals of distortion.
Boom.
The shockwave tore across the battlefield.
The summoner was blasted backward—
Exposed.
"Now!"
Ryker vanished.
In the next instant, he reappeared mid-strike.
Lightning condensed into an ultimate blade, descending with absolute finality.
For the first time—
Fear flickered in the summoner's eyes.
He forced rule authority into a defensive surge.
But it was too late.
Ryker's fusion output had already surpassed its limit.
The strike fell.
Space split.
The summoner's body fractured instantly, collapsing into countless dark fragments that scattered and dissolved.
"System. Confirm plunder target."
[ Target Acquired: Dark Continent Summoner — Ultimate Rule Fragment]
[ Trait Fusion Efficiency +50%]
[ Dark Continent Power — Advanced Mode Unlocked]
Power surged.
Violent. Expansive. Unfathomable.
Ryker felt it flood through him, as if he had touched a higher layer of reality itself.
He understood.
This victory—
Was only the first step toward the true core of the Dark Continent.
As the summoner fully disintegrated, the Trait System within Ryker erupted.
A massive surge of energy detonated from within.
The newly unlocked "Dark Continent Power" advanced mode roared like an abyssal tide—
Devouring his Nen core.
Devouring the Plunder System itself.
