Chapter 27 The Withering Waltz, the Ultimate Assassination!
Honkai Academy, Central Martial Arts Arena.
While everyone was still immersed in the oppressive aura emanating from that terrifying scythe, a figure silently took a step forward.
It was Rita.
She maintained her impeccable maid's demeanor, her hands elegantly folded in front of her abdomen, bowing slightly towards the camera lens, her voice soft and melodious:
"Lady Theresa, you have solved a great problem for our academy."
"Next, it is my turn to do my part for the academy and demonstrate... what true 'service' is."
Her voice was gentle, yet it seemed to possess a strange magic, drawing everyone's attention to her.
The Heavenly Dao pillar descended at the opportune moment, a golden light completely enveloping Rita's slender figure, and everyone held their breath.
"Miss Rita, who has always been by the Dean's side, is also a Title Douluo powerhouse?" Ye Lingling lightly covered her lips, her expression one of astonishment.
"Isn't Rita supposed to be an office worker? Her hidden strength is incredible! I had no idea," Kiana said, a look of surprise on her face.
Rita had indeed never fought in the Honkai Academy, diligently handling various tasks for the lazy dean. It wasn't surprising that the students misunderstood her.
In the pillar of light, Rita smiled, extending her slender hand and grasping at the air.
A massive scythe, exquisitely crafted with blades shimmering with cold stars and deep black light, appeared out of thin air in her hand.
Boom!
The next second, yellow, yellow, purple, purple, black, black, black, black, red! Nine spirit rings appeared beneath her feet.
Like Himeko and Theresa, her spirit power, infused with the power of the Heavenly Dao, surged forward, breaking through three levels to reach the level 99 Peerless Douluo realm!
Simultaneously, the age of her spirit rings increased by 50,000 years, instantly transforming her spirit rings into a top-tier configuration of five black and three red rings!
More importantly, with the aid of the Heavenly Dao, the scythe in her hand completed the ultimate evolution of [Three Phases Return to Tranquility]!
The three elemental powers perfectly merged and flowed within her, ultimately returning to an ultimate restraint.
The invisible energy fluctuations emanating from the divine domain [Withering Waltz], even if only a slight leak was made, caused the surrounding students to feel an instinctive fear, as if they were being choked by an invisible Grim Reaper.
At the same time, the profound mysteries of Shadow Leap and the ultimate soul skill [Eternal Elegy] were deeply imprinted in her soul.
As the golden light slowly subsided, Rita, holding the ghostly scythe, gracefully turned around. The scythe danced in her hand as if it had no weight, eventually turning into specks of light and disappearing.
She smoothed out non-existent wrinkles on her maid outfit and gave Zhang Yi and the others an impeccable maid's bow.
"Dean, everyone, Rita has lived up to expectations and seems to have obtained a considerable amount of power."
Her voice was still gentle and sweet, but everyone could feel the terrifying and deadly sharpness hidden beneath that gentleness.
If Himeko is the destruction of the blazing sun, and Theresa is a flawless all-around warrior, adept at both offense and defense, then Rita is the perfect maid, and even more so, the strongest assassin in the entire Douluo Continent, unmatched by anyone!
"This Sister Rita is so...so terrifying...She usually smiles so innocently, just like the Dean, but I never expected her to be so strong! No wonder she's by the Dean's side." Dugu Yan muttered softly, subconsciously moving closer to Shui Bing'er.
"This is someone who stands at the pinnacle of assassins. If I could become Miss Rita's apprentice, I could definitely go much further on this path!"
Zhu Zhuqing's eyes shone with unprecedented light. As a fellow agility-based attacker, she could better understand Rita's seemingly elegant and composed understanding of the assassin's way.
Ye Lingling clutched her chest. She could sense that against Rita's domain, her healing abilities might be significantly weakened by that strange corrosive power, perhaps even rendered ineffective!
Shui Bing'er took a deep breath, an instinctive fear rising within her Ice Phoenix Martial Soul. The "annihilation" attribute attached to the scythe seemed to possess a powerful destructive force even against extreme ice.
"Rita, you're too modest. Your power could put all the assassins on the continent out of work!"
Himeko crossed her arms and laughed heartily, her eyes filled with recognition of Rita's strength.
Fu Hua nodded slightly: "Frost Control, Shadow Strike, Annihilation... Miss Rita's martial spirit truly embodies the assassin's way to its fullest extent, impeccable."
Theresa bounced over: "Rita, Rita, your new domain is amazing! Why don't you come and teach students like Himeko in the future?"
Zhang Yi quickly interrupted: "That won't do. Who will help me with the affairs if Rita leaves... cough cough, I mean our academy will be busy soon."
Theresa said angrily: "Dean, you should take advantage of this expansion to recruit more clerical staff. How can you let Rita handle those trivial matters for you? Why don't you ask Rita if she's willing?"
Rita's lips curled into a perfect smile: "I am Dean's loyal maid. As long as Dean doesn't mind, Rita is willing to serve you in any way."
Rita emphasized the last three words, making Zhang Yi shudder involuntarily. He was extremely wary of being exploited, after all, this perfect maid was really good at night raids!
Through the celestial canopy, Rita, the dean's secretary of the Honkai Academy, with the imposing presence of a peerless Douluo, wielding the Ghost Scythe symbolizing death, officially proclaimed her existence to the entire continent!
The enthusiasm that had just been ignited by the recruitment advertisements across the Douluo Continent was instantly cooled, as if a bucket of ice water had been poured over their heads, replaced by profound shock and horror.
"Seventh place is another member of the Honkai Academy! And it's the dean's personal maid."
"Wait? A personal secretary! That's so enviable!"
"Level 99! This is the third one already! Is this academy mass-producing Peerless Douluo?!"
"Frost, Shadow, and that gray energy... is it Annihilation? Three attributes?! How can we fight that?"
"That domain is a nightmare for all defensive formations and support Soul Masters!"
"The strongest assassin, if she wants to kill someone, even a Title Douluo would be doomed..."
"Shadow Leap? An ultimate Soul Skill that can trigger Law Annihilation? This isn't an assassin, this is a walking catastrophe!"
"If even a secretary is this strong, what kind of monster is their dean?!"
"Honkai Academy, how many more trump cards do they have left?"
Exclamations and gasps of horror rang out again, but this time, they were mixed with more complex emotions.
The faculty strength displayed by the Honkai Academy had exceeded the realm of mere power, reaching a level that could only inspire awe.
To be their enemy would have unimaginable consequences!
