The Blue Rose Sword’s blade was enveloped in a yellow-green glow.

Light blue points of light were created on Administrator’s fingertips.

“O… ohh!”

This was his last sword. His last secret technique.

Eugeo kicked off the ground, perfectly aware of that.

Aincrad-style charging technique, «Sonic Leap».

Kirito’s voice replayed deep in his ears.

—Listen here, Eugeo, secret techniques move our bodies for us. But we can’t just let it move us as it likes.

—You have to become one with the secret technique and speed it up with how your feet and arms move. Your sword will reach the enemy faster than the wind if you do.

How many times has he practiced? How many times has he failed and plunged into a clump of bushes, face first?

And how many times has he heard Kirito’s voice laughing happily—?

Eugeo’s sword gleamed verdant-green as it soared into the air, passing by even the sound of the wind being cut.

The smile vanished from the highest minister’s lips and she extended her right hand.

The cryogenic elements, on the verge of being launched as ice needles, burst apart upon contact with the Blue Rose Sword. And the secret technique with all of Eugeo’s strength behind it crashed into Administrator’s palm—no, the violet membrane that expanded five cen from her hand—immediately after.
