"It's really beautiful here."
Tessia stood on the deck with her arms wide open, welcoming the sea breeze.
Sally leaned casually against the railing, her whole body at ease.
Shizuku silently pulled out her notebook and began scribbling something down.
Kaizen, on the other hand, focused on the translucent, colorless crystal orb floating in front of him—visible only to his eyes.
"It's time."
Small glimmers of light from the surroundings were being pulled tow...

Hisoka felt a strange mix of emotions after hearing that answer.
"I see... thanks."
He ended the call and lay silently in the hospital bed, staring up at the ceiling.
Kaizen's answer... it might be true, or it might be a lie.
That was the tricky thing about information.
If someone doesn't tell you, you stay in the dark.
But once they do? You can never be sure it's the truth.
"Still... one thing's for certain—right now, I'm no match for Kaizen."

Ronnel was quietly reflecting, immersed in the strange sensation of increased longevity.
After a while, he estimated the lifespan extension.
"One hundred years?"
He took a mirror from his storage backpack and checked his reflection.His already youthful face now looked even more radiant, with a vibrant energy pulsing beneath the surface.
One stalk of Nitro Rice, after being carefully cooked by Ronnel, could grant roughly a hundred years of additional life.

"The bite force isn't weak. If I hadn't dodged just now, I might've lost a leg."
Muherr calmly analyzed the situation, showing no sign of fear.
"But aside from the bite strength and hardness, there's nothing else noteworthy about it."
The massive black rock that had suddenly appeared was just a brief interruption during their march. Afterward, the group stayed alert as they moved forward, eventually discovering several more rocks of the same kind.
But thanks to the ear...

The warmth wasn't gentle—it was scorching.
"Zhizhizhi~!"
As soon as the sun emerged, the trees swayed wildly, despite there being no wind. Branches and leaves collided with each other, producing a noise that sounded like panic—or a desperate attempt to adapt.
But it was already too late. As the temperature began to rise in earnest, the forest felt it head-on.
"Zizzizi."
A burning stench started to spread.

The Dark Continent is a land ruled by a single law—the law of the hunt. There's no mercy here. Only predators and prey.... a cycle of death with no end in sight.
Here, even the land itself—trees, soil, the air—can consume living beings to nourish itself. Nothing is ever safe.
Just as Ronnel flew through the canopy and barely advanced, a sharp sense of danger flared in his chest.
"Tch… I knew it wouldn't be easy crossing this forest."
No plant that thrives on su...

Not many people could have witnessed that fight.
Even fewer were in close contact with Killua.
Only Wing.
"Yes," Killua nodded.
Kaizen paused for a moment before answering honestly,
"It wasn't my full strength... but it was close."
"Hisoka is strong."
"You're not going to reach his level anytime soon. If you run into him again, it's better not to fight."
"For now, focus on the basics of Nen with Wing."

The flames vanished.
The sticky web spun by Bungee Gum dissolved into nothing.
The arena was left charred and scorched—blackened from end to end, like the aftermath of a natural disaster.
Only one area stood untouched by the devastation.
The spot where Kaizen remained standing was clean, unmarred.
Crack.
A chunk of rubble broke loose and fell.
From the wreckage, Hisoka emerged—barely.
His clothes were torn, singed, and ridd...

The red threads shot into the air.
They stretched down to the ruined floor.
Connected to the ceiling above.
Like a spider's web.
All spun from Bungee Gum—sticky and elastic love.
Kaizen's movements were instantly restrained by several of the red threads.
Their intense stickiness made it impossible for him to break free.
Hisoka released Natsu.
And leapt to the center of the spiderweb.

"The Hexflare Bomb test is almost over."
Why would Kaizen act so recklessly in Hisoka's eyes—wasting his own aura?
The answer is simple.
From Hisoka's perspective, this is all just a game.
But for Kaizen, it's a test.
And if it's a test, there's no need to worry about conserving energy.
That kind of approach won't cut it.
The Hexflare Bomb test demands an immense expenditure of aura.
Especially with a formidable opponent like Hisoka in front o...

Let's set aside the question of whether they had the ability or the tools to fly. Even if they could, they'd still need to pass through that sea of blood-red trees—and who knew what kind of monsters lurked in there?
Even the little puppet girl was thinking hard about how to get through it.
Though she was a puppet, her body still had functioning organs and circulating blood to maintain a semblance of human vitality. This land of blood posed a threat to her as well.

It was a pity—the one who brought it back was already gravely injured and died before saying much. Because of that, the V5 had no idea how the dark-red dates grew, and its cultivation across the six continents proceeded with difficulty and uncertainty.
Despite pouring in tremendous effort and resources, they only managed to grow a deformed variant with reduced potency.
It was nothing like the kind native to the Dark Continent—those were said to work miracles, instantly repleni...

After hearing each other's voices, the two beasts turned to look—eyes gleaming with menace.
Baring their teeth and snarling, they looked like they were about to tear into each other.
Just before the chicken and the dog could come to blows, their master furrowed his brow, a black vein twitching on his forehead. Without hesitation, he kicked both of them straight into the red earth ahead.
"Looks like there's really nothing major. We were just overthinking it."

These Floor Masters had seen glimpses of Kaizen's strength before—but not the full picture.
They knew he was powerful, but just how powerful remained unclear.
As for Hisoka, his previous opponents had been too weak to pose a real challenge. He was just entertaining himself, so nothing meaningful could be gleaned from those bouts.
But now, with Kaizen and Hisoka facing off directly, the Floor Masters finally saw it:
The difference.

"This is getting exciting!"
Hisoka grinned, drawing the two machetes strapped to his waist.
He exhaled slowly.
Then—he moved.
With a flick of his wrist, he slashed in the direction of Kaizen and Natsu.
One blade after another.

Under everyone's watchful eyes, the match began.
Killua and the others quietly hoped Kaizen would win.
Most spectators just wanted to see a great fight.
The Floor Masters were watching closely, using this as a chance to evaluate both Kaizen and Hisoka's strength.

As soon as the referee left the ring, Hisoka casually pulled out a deck of cards and began shuffling with dazzling speed.
A flash of hands. A blur of motion.

Moments later, several burly men showed up.

"All the herbs will be ours!!"

Beyond was rallying the team. Among the many known disasters, he was considered the least dangerous, so choosing Brion as the target was the most reasonable strategy.
Compared to the immortal disease Zobae, another B+ level threat, the tangible and visible Brion was far more manageable. At the very least, they wouldn't black out just by looking at it. Given the team's current state, Brion was a much more suitable goal.

And just like before, they followed the same path back.
"More than twenty plants?"
At that moment, Ronnel used the interchange between his clone and [Double], shifting his body to the edge of the swamp.
He glanced at the shimmering Nitro Rice in Netero's hands and, with a simple gesture, stored them all into the space behind him.
"Once we get back to the Six Continents, ask Ickshonpe if there's a person who can genuinely duplicate things. If not, check with Emuksu~"

That's enough. Ronnel figured the current Netero could easily handle this two-tailed snake—Unless it was somehow stronger than the Ant King, which was impossible~
To avoid disrupting Netero's offensive, Ronnel pulled his clone back from the entrance to the grassland. Not long after it retreated, a powerful surge of aura exploded across the horizon.
The clone turned back—and saw a golden Buddha blazing through the sky.

Just like when Kurapika captured Chrollo back in Yorknew City, she had left a note behind.
Pakunoda had only been able to read the most recent second or two from the note. Anything beyond that was too hazy to decipher.
Naturally, Ronnel couldn't extract any memories from the Netero puppet either. After all, this puppet was crafted by Ronnel himself, carved from wood, and had no link to Netero's actual body.
After the puppet took form, it began to walk slowly toward the grass...

The sudden shift in atmosphere brought a hush over the entire venue.
Hisoka turned around and walked off the stage.
The moment he vanished from sight, the referee finally snapped out of it.
"Winner: Hisoka!"
Normally, Hisoka loved to keep playing. Toying with his opponents was half the fun.
But the moment he got Kaizen's call, all that interest disappeared.
He walked straight to the front desk and submitted his application.
A Floor Master Challenge.

Tessia looked proud of herself.
Kaizen chuckled.

"A wife's job is to sleep with her husband and help him have kids."
"And then?"
"Then...?"
Tessia froze.
Kaizen tilted his head slightly.
"Do you know what that actually involves?"
"More details?"
Kaizen shook his head, smiling faintly.
"Alright, Tessia. You can go for now. That's not what a wife does."

Ronnel examined the trophy in his palm—a delicate, snow-white blossom—and thought his vision did feel a little clearer.
Still, in this dim environment, a bright object like that could easily draw the wrong kind of attention.

Why had Kastro acted that way?
