Jojo walked to the side of the bishop's seat, gently stroked the exquisite and beautiful throne, and smiled slightly. Although he was determined to take revenge on Rita, he also felt that Rita was too kind.
Even now, they're still worried that Jojo might be punished for touching the throne.
Unbeknownst to her, the mask of the boy before her was that of the supreme ruler of this world.
As Jojo stroked the throne, she turned to look at Rita behind her, a slight smile on her lips, and said, "Alright, the scene is ready. Let me test whether you can serve His Holiness the Bishop properly as a maid."
Rita carefully surveyed her surroundings; there was no one else there besides herself and the priest.
As for... he had no idea what the maid test he mentioned was.
"Father... there's no one else here besides the two of us..."
Upon hearing this, Qiao Qiao smiled and said, "Yes, that's why I brought you here alone, to see your abilities as a Fated Maid, because I didn't want anyone else to bother me."
Rita recalled how Jojo had teased and toyed with her in the office, and a wave of panic washed over her; she sensed that something terrible was about to happen.
I was so stupid!
Knowing he had ill intentions, why did you foolishly follow him to a secluded place where there was no one else?
Rita seemed to realize something, her face turning bright red with embarrassment. She slowly backed away with her slender legs, her voice trembling with unease, and said, "You said you wanted me to serve His Holiness the Bishop... Could the maid's abilities mean...?"
When Jojo saw Rita's shy expression, she was slightly taken aback. A cruel smile appeared on her lips, and she snapped her fingers indifferently, saying, "As the bishop's maid, the most important ability is of course to eliminate enemies. Otherwise... is it to sleep with someone?"
As Qiaoqiao's fingertips made a clear sound, a door about four meters high appeared on the snow-white wall of the palace. A silver-white humanoid mech, holding two mechanical longswords, moved slowly towards the slender and graceful Rita, like a giant mountain in motion.
Chapter 247 You're deliberately messing with me, aren't you?!
Jojo released a Destiny Machine, whose strength was comparable to that of a Chariot-class Honkai Beast. Then, she stood alone on the top of the steps, calmly watching Rita's battle with the Destiny Machine.
The best way to test someone's ability is through actual combat.
Every strike of the Divine Craftsman's blade is powerful and heavy, capable of cleaving rocks in an instant. Its terrifying power is matched by its incredible speed; the sword light scatters through the air like cherry blossoms, dazzling and catching the eye completely off guard.
Kelita's ability to pass through layers of selection, eliminating many competitors, and stand before the bishop demonstrates her formidable strength. Her graceful figure, like a flower swaying in the wind, repeatedly evaded the sharp edge of fate's divine plan with a mere sliver of distance. Her light and agile movements seemed capable of dodging even a hail of bullets, making her as beautiful and elegant as a ballerina.
After dodging the fierce and ruthless slash, Rita keenly aimed at the moment when the Divine Mechanism sheathed its sword, and her beautifully curved legs struck the relatively vulnerable joint of the Divine Mechanism's neck like a long whip.
The moment Rita kicked it, the outer shell of the Destiny Machine's neck shattered and exploded, exposing the wires buried within and spewing out countless tiny sparks of electricity. Then, its knees buckled to the ground, and its entire body collapsed like a mountain.
The formidable and swift-attacking Destiny Machine was utterly defeated by Rita with a single blow, which surprised Qiao Qiao. Although he had long known that Rita was a genius capable of becoming an S-rank Valkyrie, her rapid progress in such a short time was still far beyond Qiao Qiao's expectations.
The ability to defeat the Heavenly Destiny Machine in one blow demonstrates strength comparable to a B-rank Valkyrie.
Qiaoqiao sincerely exclaimed in admiration, "You're indeed quite skilled... But why aren't you using a weapon? Are you trying to hide your strength from me?"
It's important to understand that Rita's maid outfit wasn't just for looks or to satisfy some kind of fetish.
It was a genuine Valkyrie armor that not only enhanced the user's combat abilities but could also transform into weapons suitable for the wielder.
Jojo remembered that Rita's best weapon should be the scythe that kills and drinks blood, but she didn't use any weapon at all in the fight just now. Instead, she used close combat, which showed that she still didn't use her full strength.
As a child, Rita once demonstrated her combat skills using the Death Scythe in front of others, only to be ridiculed by Jojo, who was then the Holy Son of Destiny. This left a deep scar on her. From then on, she never used a weapon in combat again.
Now, faced with Jojo's question, Rita is unwilling to bring up the painful past and tries to evade the question: "I... am not good at using weapons."
For Valkyries fighting Honkai Beasts on the battlefield, not using weapons is undoubtedly a suicidal move.
Jojo couldn't believe or accept such absurd talk. She felt that Rita was just trying to appease her, and her face immediately darkened. She was very indignant and said, "As a Valkyrie, you don't want to use a weapon? Do you want to live too long?"
"Since you are so confident in your abilities and feel that you don't need to use weapons, then I suppose... even if you face the Three Heavenly Knights, you can handle it with ease, right?"
As soon as she finished speaking, Qiaoqiao clapped her hands lightly.
The next second, the snow-white walls of the main hall opened three hidden doors again, and three enormous Divine Messengers emerged from them.
Rita hadn't expected Jojo to release three Heavenly Destiny Machines directly. She wanted to curse, but since she couldn't afford to offend the interviewer, she had to give up in the end.
Furthermore, facing three Divine Warriors is vastly different from facing only one.
Even Rita didn't have the luxury of complaining or arguing with anyone to fight these three Divine Machines of Destiny. Without using weapons, simply dodging the sword attacks was already quite difficult.
Qiaoqiao stood on the steps, carefully observing Rita. With her agile and nimble movements, Rita constantly dodged the attacks of the Divine Mechanism of Destiny, her movements as elusive as a swift avoiding its natural enemy.
Watching her move freely among the three divine warriors, Qiao Qiao sighed inwardly; she was far stronger than she had imagined.
Rita's aptitude as a Valkyrie is indeed far superior to others; looking across the world, perhaps only Durandal's talent can rival hers.
Rita, dressed in maid-style armor, leaped high like a gazelle as she faced the oncoming sweep of the Divine Machine, landing on the wall as if walking on flat ground.
This scene was just like the legendary "flying over rooftops and scaling walls".
The blade of the Divine Strategist cleaved through the wall, carving a shockingly deep chasm, but ultimately failed to catch up with Rita's swift movements, which she narrowly evaded.
After dodging the blade of the Divine Mechanism, Rita jumped back to the ground.
However... at this moment, her face had become much paler, beads of sweat were dripping from her forehead, and she was breathing heavily, looking very tired.
Although Rita was still able to move freely among the three Divine Machines and dodge all attacks, she was clearly not as at ease as she used to be when dealing with Ikki, and her body was showing signs of fatigue.
Just as Qiao Qiao was watching the three Divine Machines fight Rita with great interest, the system within his body suddenly stirred.
[The "Maid Training Manual" talent has been triggered, causing the target's physical condition to decline, with a decrease of 1 point in physical attributes. The current progress is 99/100.]
Upon seeing the reward given by the system, Qiao Qiao narrowed her eyes slightly.
It seems that causing Rita to become fatigued also reduces her stats. Although it's only a 1-point decrease, it's still a small amount.
Since fatigue can reduce physical value and earn rewards, Qiaoqiao should definitely increase her efforts!
Rita and the three Celestial Mechanics were locked in a fierce battle, neither gaining the upper hand. Qiao Qiao glanced at the system notification and, unable to resist the temptation of the reward, noticed that Rita was hesitant to use her usual weapon, the Death Scythe. He smiled slightly and said, "You can withstand the attacks of the three Celestial Mechanics without using a weapon. I have to admit that I underestimated you. But if I were to send out the three Celestial Mechanics again, how would you deal with it?"
"Clap! Clap! Clap!"
Qiao Qiao raised her hand and clapped her hands. Suddenly, three skylights opened in the ceiling above the main hall. Three riders, each holding a blade, descended from the sky like a meteorite from outer space.
These three divine messengers were like the last straw that broke the camel's back; their arrival instantly broke the stalemate in the battle.
No matter how agile and unpredictable Rita's skills were, she was no match for the six Divine Machines of Destiny, and her stamina was being depleted faster and faster.
Under the fierce attack of these six divine machines, Rita was eventually forced into a corner of the palace, with nowhere left to retreat.
Rita was cornered by the six Divine Mechanics, watching as six towering figures, each as tall as a small mountain, slowly approached her. Beads of sweat slid gently down her pale skin, and her eyes revealed a hint of despair.
At this moment, Rita felt like a high school girl who had been deceived by a bad man.
She had originally agreed with the man that she would only go with one person, but when they arrived at the destination, three people suddenly appeared and said they would all come at her at once.
When the time came, Rita had no choice but to accept in order to achieve her goal.
Just when Rita thought things were about to end, the bad man who had deceived her called three strong, muscular men.
Rita, such a delicate and frail young girl, was surrounded and attacked by six burly men...
Who could stand something like this?!
The six Divine Mechanics advanced like a warship to Rita's front, and without hesitation swung their swords down, showing no pity for the unarmed girl beneath their blades.
The simultaneous descent of six sword lights was truly as dazzling as a meteor falling to earth.
Jojo watched Rita being driven to the brink, but he remained indifferent, as if watching a play, and even smiled with relish.
As she faced death, Rita recalled the time when Jojo mocked her when she was a child.
Even now, when she recalls Qiaoqiao's words, she still feels a chill in her heart and feels great pain.
But in the face of life and death, Rita had no choice but to put aside her psychological shadows. The Honkai energy in her hands emitted a dazzling light, and an unknown form condensed and took shape in her hands.
Its jet-black, straight trunk blossoms with vibrant, scarlet roses, and its scythe-like blade, twisted like a waning moon, gleams with a flawless, pure light.
Rita gripped a death scythe tightly in her hand, its body pitch black and its blade as pale as a crescent moon. Forgetting all about maintaining her respect and elegance towards the interviewer, all her inner dissatisfaction and complaints were transformed into a beautiful sentence.
"You damned priest, you're deliberately messing with me, aren't you?!"
Chapter 248 Rita, Let's Have Some Fun Together!
When they were children, Rita once showed off her skills to Jojo, wielding a sickle and dancing like a butterfly.
But when the dance ended, Rita was met only with Jojo's cold mockery.
Even today, Jojo's mockery and criticism still feel like an ice spike piercing Rita's heart. The inferiority complex caused by the psychological shadow has prevented Rita from ever using a scythe in combat again.
Even if Rita is unwilling to fight with a scythe, Jojo will not grant her wish and will send out several Divine Mechanics in succession, hoping to force her to use her true strength.
Faced with the blades wielded by the Six Divine Mechanics, Rita felt an unprecedented threat to her life. She finally broke free from the shackles of Jojo's cold mockery, bravely stepped out of her inner shadow, and held the Death Scythe, which was as white and sharp as a waning moon, with its blooming scarlet rose in hand.
With a resounding clang of gold and jade, Rita successfully blocked the blade swung down by the Divine Mechanism of Destiny. Just as Jojo had planned, she no longer held back, unleashing her full power, wielding her crescent-shaped, ferocious death scythe to relentlessly reap the Divine Mechanism of Destiny.
In the end, the six Heavenly Mandate Divine Machines, their outer shells covered in horrific wounds, collapsed powerlessly like puppets with broken strings.
Even if she successfully defeated the six Divine Machines of Destiny, Rita's condition was not much better. She had used up all the Honkai energy in her body, and her stamina was almost depleted. Her plump, snow-white legs trembled slightly, and her slender and graceful body swayed like a piece of paper, almost falling to the ground. Fortunately, she held tightly to the scythe torso that was bracing against the ground, which barely allowed her to stabilize herself.
[The "Maid Training Manual" talent has been triggered, causing the target's physical condition to decline, with a decrease of 1 point in physical attributes. The current progress is 98/100.]
Seeing the progress notification from the system, Qiaoqiao frowned slightly, feeling somewhat dissatisfied.
Rita's stamina is almost completely depleted, yet her physical attributes have only decreased by one point.
The rate at which these stats are decreasing is way too slow.
If things continue like this, if Jojo tries to reduce Rita's physical attributes to 0 simply by consuming her stamina, he might just exhaust Rita to death.
Qiaoqiao didn't want to ruin the toy she had worked so hard to get.
It seems that simply consuming Rita's stamina is not enough to meet the mission requirements of the "Maid Training Manual" and obtain the reward. I need to think of some other methods.
When Jojo saw Rita's exhausted and weak appearance, a smug smile appeared on her lips.
Although the six Heavenly Mechanics only reduced Rita's stamina by two points, exhausting her stamina was still a great help to JoJo.
Once Rita's strength is completely exhausted, she will be powerless to resist whatever Jojo does next.
"Clap! Clap! Clap!"
Qiaoqiao looked at Rita, who had reached the sixth level of the Heavenly Mandate Divine Strategist, and clapped her hands with great satisfaction. She said leisurely, "Truly worthy of being a talent selected through layers of trials. Such talent is rare even in the world."
Upon hearing Jojo's voice, Rita slowly turned around.
Perhaps due to the immense physical exertion from fighting six Heavenly Mechanics alone, Rita leaned weakly against the slender, dark body of the scythe-wielding figure. Her lips parted in heavy, hot breaths, and her delicate, pretty face was as pale as paper. Beads of sweat streamed down her skin like a beaded curtain, and even her maid outfit, which clung to her voluptuous figure, was soaked with sweat. Patches of wet black stockings clung to her skin, revealing patches of Rita's fair and smooth skin, which was as white as jade.
Rita's maid outfit was carefully designed for ease of movement, with all the parts clinging to her body made of black stockings. When sweat soaked her clothes, it revealed her snow-white skin underneath, and even the outline of her underwear was faintly visible, making her look very alluring.
Rita was completely focused on her Valkyrie interview and didn't notice her sexy and alluring outfit. Normally, she would have immediately changed into a more elegant and appropriate attire.
