Fog City Holiday; Rita Is Ecstatic!
Yaqing made a promise.
Kallen was the only elder of the Yaqing that Mobius had ever met.
Elysia turned on the TV.
I habitually opened the Collapse Official Website.
"Huh?!"
Elysia screamed in surprise.
Everyone was drawn to her gaze and saw that the homepage on the Collapse Official Website had changed.
Generally speaking, shows that don't have promotional videos to generate buzz beforehand are just web series.
"Want to see it, everyone?"
Elysia asked for everyone's opinions.
No one had any objections, since they were just killing time anyway, and Honkai was an anime they had all watched.
424
Chapter 424 Misty Capital Holiday, Rita is overjoyed!
The second season of the web series Durandal has quietly begun airing.
Because the first Durandal contained too many technical terms, even though the plot was good, it still left the audience feeling indifferent because they simply couldn't understand it.
Therefore, the audience did not have high expectations for Durandal 2. More than anything, the aftershocks of the Burning Flames Forever were too great, and they desperately needed a new Honkai storyline to recover.
Autumn 2015.
A massive Honkai occurred in Dubai, instantly paralyzing the city. The West Asia branch quickly dispatched the Valkyrie squad. Upon learning from their fighter jet that a Honkai Empress had appeared in the city center, the three members of the squad immediately prepared to die.
Even at the cost of my life, I will kill the Honkai Emperor and protect the safety of more than 3 million ordinary people.
"The Phosphorus Sand Squad will definitely come back alive!"
With Vice-Captain Sophia's bold statement, everyone mentally sentenced the Valkyrie trio to death.
This statement is so damaging it could kill at least two people.
"It looks quite different from the previous one."
Ling sighed.
At least the beginning didn't have that many technical terms; instead, the oppressive feeling of impending Honkai stirred up the tension in the audience's hearts.
"Of course, after all, it's a thankless task."
Yaqing smiled.
"Sigh, the Honkai..."
Aponia sighed. What they saw were the Valkyrie, and they paid attention to the exciting battles, but they overlooked how desperate ordinary people must be under the Honkai.
Raven are a good example.
Imagine someone saving up for years to pay off their mortgage and just as they're about to start a new life, the Honkai arrives, destroying their house and all their belongings. But instead of giving up, they decide to drive to another city and try to make a living. Only then do they discover that the Honkai Beasts had already crushed the car they bought outright.
At that moment, the Herrscher of the Thousand increased by one.
The scene shifts to the city center, where the Honkai emperor is rampaging. The true protagonist of this web series makes her appearance, facing the running crowd against the current. Even from her back view, she looks terrifyingly powerful.
Facing the Honkai emperor before her, she stomped her high-heeled boots hard, concentrating her power in her fist, and swung it out forcefully, accompanied by the girl's angry shout and the piercing sound of air being torn apart.
With just one punch, they destroyed the monster that had given the Valkyrie squad the resolve to die.
The three-person squad that had just arrived at the battlefield was stunned by what they saw. The captain and vice-captain were speechless, while only team member Susannah was unaware of what had happened.
Durandal easily resolved the crisis on her own, thus ending the Honkai of Dubai. The Phosphorus Sand Squad had just arrived on the battlefield and was about to return to base in their fighter jets.
And what happened next had absolutely nothing to do with them.
"So strong!"
Durandal has made very few appearances. Apart from the battle where she and Kevin held back against each other, and the final battle in the previous web series, she has never made a move.
Elysia's mouth opened slightly.
At the same time, everyone's faces showed some surprise.
It wasn't because of Durandal's displayed combat power—after all, they had just witnessed the great battle between Kiana, the Herrscher of Flamescion the Four Core Greatsword, and the Herrscher of the Thousand —that they were surprised by Durandal demeanor.
It's as if Durandal presence brings a sense of reassurance.
Despite being S-Rank Valkyrie, Rita doesn't receive the same treatment. She either suffers setbacks or fights to a draw, earning her the nickname "Legend of the Unbeatable" from netizens.
Are Rita and Durandal really on the same level?
The question in the minds of the audience will soon be answered.
The scene shifts to the main classroom of Schicksal Headquarters, where Otto is reviewing Durandal's terrifying mission completion rate over the past month. He jokingly remarks to Amber beside him that they should add a Durandal rank above the S-rank.
Amber actually took it seriously and immediately started preparing the documents.
Otto quickly explained that he was just joking.
Durandal- class?
When they saw that Otto actually wanted to create a new rank above S-rank for Durandal, no one felt strange at all; in fact, they thought it was perfectly reasonable.
Durandal was capable of fighting Kevin, the strongest warrior of the Previous Era, to a draw, even if that battle was largely exaggerated.
Although Otto was joking, the audience understood that in Otto's mind, Durandal, while an S-class character, far surpassed other S-class characters, such as a certain invincible legend.
"..."
Kosma swallowed hard.
He's currently training his muscles under Kalpas, so recalling Durandal's deadly training regimen in the first book, he estimates that only Kalpas could rival this level of training.
"Sorry to bother you."
Durandal and Rita pushed open the door and walked in.
Otto has a mission even more important than the Honkai 3rd to entrust to someone.
That was a quest related to the Second Divine Key. Among the ancient ruins excavated by Schicksal, there was a piece of information about the Second Divine Key that was closely related to a piece of British mythology.
So Otto chose Rita, who was from England.
Rita readily accepted the order.
Durandal looked bewildered when she saw Otto hand over the task to Rita. If only one person was needed to carry out the task, why did he call her over as well?
Otto then asked Durandal what reward she wanted in recognition of her achievements.
For a moment, Durandal couldn't think of anything, but then a flash of inspiration struck her.
"In that case, give me a vacation."
Durandal's smile as she turned back was absolutely stunning.
It's unknown how many people's defenses were broken down by Durandal's smile as she turned around.
In the previous film, Bianka still had the youthful look of a child, while Durandal, who appeared later, was also dashing and valiant. Her gentle smile made her seem like an elegant and noble young lady.
"Waaah!"
Elysia's eyes lit up.
If reality were like anime, then she would definitely have a radar constantly beeping on her head.
"She's so beautiful."
Elysia's heartfelt praise.
Unlike others who were captivated by Durandal's beauty, Vill-V fell into deep thought.
She cared more about the Second Divine Key that Otto mentioned.
When Otto and Kevin made their deal, Otto paid the price of his entire Schicksal and his own life, just to get the beacon of the Second Divine Key from Kevin.
The timeline of this web series is before the main storyline, so it explains the story of Schicksal obtaining a part of the Second Divine Key.
The Second Divine Key: Thousand Worlds of Chariots!
Vill-V had many guesses she wanted to discuss with her two colleagues, but when she turned around, she was immediately filled with helplessness.
Unbelievable! Mei and Kevin are all lovey-dovey, practically glued to each other. Mobius leaned on Yaqing's shoulder, habitually feeding him fruit until Yaqing's cheeks puffed out like a hamster's before she stopped.
"Well."
Vill-V sighed.
We agreed to explore the path of wisdom together as a group of three, but in the end, I'm all alone.
Sue's eyelids kept twitching, and she had a strange intuition that she was about to make her appearance.
As a doctor, he didn't believe in the saying that a twitching left eye means good fortune and a twitching right eye means bad luck; those were just twitching symptoms caused by eyelid spasms.
The mission location is London, England.
Rita finally changed out of her unchanging maid outfit.
The snow-white, tight-fitting shirt accentuated her ample chest, while the black tie at the collar was adorned with a red flower. The zipper on the short leather skirt was enticing, and the signature black pantyhose hugged her plump, long legs. The high-heeled ankle boots added a touch of girlish charm.
As soon as Rita arrived at Russell Square, she saw Durandal playing football with the boys on the grass next to her. Because Durandal accidentally used too much force, the football flew out like a cannonball, attracting the admiration of many boys.
Rita came to Durandal's rescue just in time.
The two arrived at a bench by the square.
Rita hadn't expected Durandal to choose England as her vacation destination, and a smile appeared on her face.
"Are you worried about me?"
Durandal didn't admit it, saying it was just a coincidence.
Rita happily offered to be Durandal's guide and show her around.
Durandal is worried about Rita's mission.
As excellent maids, a sense of time is essential. There are still more than three hours until the mission meeting, which is enough time for them to have a good look around.
Several photos flashed by in the camera, all seemingly taken by Rita, including the Sherlock Holmes Museum, Big Ben, and Borough Market.
They eventually arrived at an open-air restaurant.
When Rita asked how it tasted, Durandal, like Brainless Idiot, kept saying that it wasn't as good as Rita's while eating.
After finishing their meal, Rita handed Durandal a travel plan she had written. Durandal decided to explore the area first, and then become Rita's tour guide after Rita finished her plan.
"Ah, please wait a moment."
Durandal, who was about to leave, was stopped by Rita.
Rita took a handkerchief out of her pocket, leaned close to Durandal, and gently wiped the food residue from her mouth.
Smelling a strangely pleasant fragrance and looking at Rita's face so close to hers, Durandal blushed slightly.
"Then I'll be going now."
"Yeah, have fun."
Durandal and Rita are a popular pairing, as they often appear together, and Durandal even travels to other World Bubble.
Durandal is a bit of a ditz.
Rita, on the other hand, is a bit proactive; perhaps it's part of her character design, but her words and actions always seem a bit suggestive.
"Ah!"
Elysia really can't stand this sweet atmosphere between girls: Kiana and Mei, Seele and Dark Seele, Seele and Bronya, and now we have to add Durandal and Rita to the list.
"Is this a mission? This is clearly a date!"
The final scene, where Rita wipes Durandal's mouth, is so sweet and ambiguous that it practically leaps off the screen and onto Elysia's face.
"Is Kaslana going to die?"
Sakura knew about the three Kaslana sisters. She originally thought that Kiana and Sirin would have an eldest sister to carry on the family line, but now it seems that the relationship between Bianka and Rita is a bit complicated.
"That's absolutely impossible!"
