"Da... Da... Da... Click..."

In the dark forest, the rhythmic footsteps were clearly transmitted, allowing Luo Zhen to slowly walk towards the small man-eating grass.

"Shhh

Looking at the player in front of him who walked over with his eyes closed, the small man-eating grass roared as if it was angry because it was being slighted, and rushed over.

"Luo Zhen!"

Kirito screamed in a hurry.

"Woohoo!"

Rainbow butterflies are also anxiously flying around.

But these voices have been blocked out of his consciousness by Luo Zhen.

Because...

"I can't just listen, I have to see."

For this reason, Luo Zhen completely detached his consciousness from the real world and even the game world, allowing it to peep deeper into the depths.

Even if he didn't open his eyes, even if he didn't see it with his own eyes, Luo Zhen could go and peep.

No, it should be said that every magician can use this to peek into the world around them.

Of course, the current Luo Zhen has no magic power and can't use magic.

However, among the eight steps of the magician, this is the only trick that does not require mana consumption, and even ordinary people who are not magicians can master it.

It's just that among ordinary people, those who can master this move are usually called saints, high monks, or martial gods.

They have explored the world.

They have broken into life.

Therefore, they are like kendo masters like larks, even if they are not magicians, they still unconsciously master this technique.

Of course, if you don't reach this level, you won't be able to master this trick.

If the rest of the skills of the eight ladders of magicians depend on the qualifications of the users who are magicians, then this trick alone is not enough to have qualifications, but also requires one's own detachment and transformation.

Because of this, Luo Zhen has spent a whole decade still learning this trick.

After all, Luo Zhen's talent in magic is top-notch, but not so good in other fields.

It is also because of this that many magicians cannot reach this realm and cannot master this trick.

It is the final stage of the magician, the last skill of the eight ladders.

The beings who can successfully learn it, even if they search the Karakuri world, there are only less than a hundred.

Now, Luo Zhen wants to hone this trick in this world.

"Since the qualifications of a magician alone are not enough, then in this completely magicless world, it is tempered with the help of imaginary physical sensations."

Although he was very unwilling, Luo Zhen had to admit that if he wanted to master this move, it would be easier for a martial arts master like Skylark.

"Not by magic, but by itself."

That's the trick to mastering this trick.

"Come on!"

Luo Zhen declared this in his inner world.

"Shhh

At this moment, the small man-eating grass burst into front of Luo Zhen, and at Luo Zhen, who closed his eyes tightly, raised the vines on his body high, let their tips turn into sharp spikes, and pierced them fiercely.

"Whew!"

The rainbow butterfly covered her eyes as if she didn't dare to look any further.

"Huh...!"

Kirito didn't dare to slack off anymore, and bent down, ready to rush over.

However, neither Kirito nor Rainbow Flower Butterfly knows...

"See...!"

At this moment, Luo Zhen felt the change of the world.

It is not an external world, nor an internal world, nor an imaginary world made of virtual data, but a deeper, smaller, and more meager world.

In this world, a fluctuation that was invisible to the naked eye was perceived by Luo Zhen.

So, Luo Zhen followed this fluctuation and made his body move suddenly.

"Huh!"

The sharp sound of breaking wind resounded.

It was a sharp spike that pierced into the air, and there was no movement caused by hitting the target at all.

Luo Zhen seemed to see this attack, and suddenly turned sideways with his eyes closed, allowing his body to avoid this blow.

The spikes of the small man-eating grass followed Luo Zhen's sideways movements, and landed in the air at a distance of less than a centimeter from his body.

"What...!?"

Kirito's eyes widened as he was about to rush over.

"Huh...!?"

Not only Kirito, but even the rainbow butterfly secretly put down his little hands, watching this scene, and let out an incredible cry.

At this moment, Luo Zhen seemed to have completely changed a person, not only became extremely calm, but his movements were not superfluous at all, and he followed the most efficient direction with the smallest movements and the least consumption, avoiding the blow of the small man-eating grass.

And then...

"Zheng!"

As if he knew from the beginning that it would become like this, Luo Zhen had already made a preparatory move for his sword technique, and less than a second after the attack of the small man-eating grass fell, the effect of the sword skill shone on his weapon.

As a game maniac, Kirito naturally knows what kind of sword skills that preparatory action will trigger.

———— 〈Horizontal Slash〉.

Like "Slash", it is a basic one-shot skill in the early stage of one-handed swords.

"Diagonal Slash" is a diagonal slashing technique.

"Horizontal Slash" is a horizontal slash technique.

Therefore, this move, like "Oblique Slash", is the earliest sword technique of the one-handed sword.

Luo Zhen used this sword technique, making the effect of the sword technique as light as moonlight, and the bronze one-handed sword was also like a crescent moon, flashing suddenly, pulling out a long trajectory and slashing through the body of the small man-eating grass.

"Poof!"

There was a cracking sound.

"Shh

The small man-eating grass let out a mournful roar.

Its HP went from a green state of full health, and it actually skipped the yellow area in one go, entered the red area, and dropped directly to the bottom.

"Bang!"

The small man-eating grass that had frozen blue on its entire body suddenly exploded, spilling countless fragments.

Seeing this scene with his own eyes, Kirito even opened his mouth wide.

"Knowing the heart..."

It's also commonly known as a critical hit.

That's an attack that only has a relatively high chance of triggering when hitting a monster's weakness.,It will burst out with very amazing damage.,At least 1.2 times the usual amount.,Sometimes it may even be several times.。

Luo Zhen had just triggered this damage, and he had just eliminated a monster of a higher level than himself with just one sword move.

And that's not all...

"The power of the sword technique has also become stronger..."

Because, Luo Zhen's movements just now did not have a flaw at all, so smooth that even the system had to bow to the wind, as if he knew how to maximize the power of his sword skills, so that his body moved naturally, without half a point of reluctance.

Add to that the narrowly missed dodge, the perception of an attack with both eyes closed, and the extreme calmness of concentration in mind...

"This..."

Kirito was at a loss.

Such a Luo Zhen, Kirito has never seen it.

Even during the closed beta period, Kirito had never seen Luo Zhen's performance.

That's a normal thing, too.

Luo Zhen had never shown this trick in front of Kirito.

"The final stage of the Eight Ladders of the Magician ———— 'Heart Eye'."

Luo Zhen slowly opened his eyes and muttered.

"If it's this trick, it can be used in this world."
