Uma Musume Girl, I'll tell you about my Santa Hat special move too?

Having been chased by the changes in the Eastern Merchants Group until now, if things continue to proceed at this lukewarm pace, they will no longer be able to demonstrate the prowess of a great escape...

Countless viewers have already turned their attention to us, so how could we let them down?

Now, she's here to respond to the audience who have high expectations for her escape.

Come on, let's end this chase here!

[The skill game is over. Activate!]

[Activate the skill victory boost!]

boom!

Based on pure power and exaggerated posture, the acceleration posture seems to completely crush the ground.

Logically speaking, this is already considered the explosive power of an average athlete's last kick.

However, the Stardust Illusion was used here.

When acceleration is needed... there will be no hesitation!

The two runners started almost simultaneously, embarking on a grand chase on the track, which had just begun.

Like a magical, unbelievable pursuer, and like a beast tearing everything apart, the two racers sped off, leaving the rest of their opponents far behind!

However, the distance between them is—

"Unable to...narrow the gap?!"

A low gasp rang out, and Dong Shang, panting, stared wide-eyed at the retreating figure ahead.

What followed was a strong sense of frustration.

How could this be? My prized "Running Magic" is completely ineffective against her?!

However, at this moment, the stardust illusion behind her, which she was staring intently at, was also causing a great upheaval in her heart:

"Can't... widen the gap?!"

Hearing the still hurried footsteps behind him, Stardust Illusion was equally taken aback.

In order to shake off her opponent, she even used her trump card skill here in advance: the encouragement of victory.

This is not just 100% effort, but an absolute burst of power!

But how could this be?!

"..."

Oh right, the one following behind me is Sweepy!

Just thinking about it made Stardust Illusion feel a tangible pressure pressing down on her shoulders from behind.

The girl who first taught her to run, the runner known as the witch—

Where exactly is she now?

When will she begin her next acceleration?

How many horse lengths are still between me and her?

The Stardust Illusion turned its neck slightly, as if trying to look behind it to confirm its position relative to the other.

However, this action was forcibly stopped the moment it was initiated.

The stardust illusion instantly refocused its vision, controlled its steps, and looked straight ahead.

No, that's not right!

What kind of nonsense am I thinking?

Regardless, it still holds a leading advantage.

Don't think about unnecessary things, and don't have time to think about them.

No matter what happens, you shouldn't panic...

What I want has never changed.

Run!

Let's run!

Since such footwork won't be able to leave the opponent behind.

Let's go a step further!

Let Dongshang change—let Sweepy see just how far they can go!

Chapter 188 (plus 16.5) The Wolf That Devours Everything

The double escape is recreated on this field.

The escape itself is exciting enough, giving you an adrenaline rush.

Imagine this: on the same racecourse, there's a runner who, like a lone king, races far ahead of all the other runners—

That was truly taking the lead, truly dividing the entire competition into two parts based on her own strength: "the competition that belonged to her" and "the competition that belonged to the others behind her."

This situation, which seems to separate us from others into two different dimensions, is always exhilarating and irresistible, no matter when you see it.

Especially when the runners in the great escape spread out to a certain distance, the audience's field of vision can no longer accommodate all the races of the horse girls, and what is presented to the audience is only the figure of that one person.

Such a dramatic and impactful scene makes viewers' adrenaline surge, as if they were personally leading the race on the track. This extraordinary stimulation is simply irresistible.

More importantly, even among athletes who have mastered this running technique, very few can win a race.

The ability to break through in the early stages, the grasp of the rhythm of the race, the estimation of the overall style of the race, and where to unleash the final burst of energy after reserving energy in advance—all of these require the horse girl's judgment.

Before this year, only a handful of runners had specialized in this style. If it weren't for Ennis Aeolus winning the derby last year with a powerful runner, many viewers would probably have forgotten that this running style even existed.

Many viewers have noticed something very crucial.

Stardust Illusion, this runner is like a special catalyst, always energizing the atmosphere of the entire race whenever she appears on the track.

Her escape was like a shooting star, her final step like a storm.

Under this terrifying pressure, not only Stardust Illusion itself, but all the other racehorse girls had to break through their limits and show unprecedented forms.

For the audience, this unprecedented scene is the best reward and fulfills their most exciting desires.

Stardust Illusion and Eastern Merchant Revolution—these two completely left the rest of the racehorse girls behind.

The Yayoi Prize no longer seemed to be a competition among eighteen people, but had turned into a one-on-one duel between the two runners!

The entire audience erupted in cheers.

The already enthusiastic cheers now turned into a deafening roar, engulfing the stadium.

They shouted the names of the two runners, responding to the runners who provided them with such a thrilling scene.

[All the riders have passed the second corner and entered the second straight! Leading the pack is still the Stardust Illusion rider, who has been dominating the entire course!]

[Following closely behind is Dongshang Reform, currently in second place, constantly seeking opportunities to close the gap. They have already built a lead of eight horse lengths over the other competitors. And on this steep downhill slope, that gap continues to widen!]

[This is simply...is there no one else who can stop them?! Has this already turned into a one-on-one battle between two great escapees?!]

(A one-on-one duel...?)

boom.

Narita Shirahito's footsteps slammed into the ground, leaving a hoofprint on the grass.

Looking at the two runners who were still clearly competing with each other ahead, she was also filled with immense anger.

The competition is only halfway through, but the audience's eyes are only on the two players in front.

Are you kidding me...?

For someone who cherishes honor, this was nothing short of an insult.

Because this cheering means that everyone on the field has already regarded her as a loser and no longer has any expectations for her.

But how could that be?

The competition isn't over yet, and I haven't even really started to exert myself, so how could I possibly become a loser?

For a moment, she even wanted to shout at the clueless audience that the true winner could only be decided at the moment of crossing the finish line.

The deafening shouts made her ears ring; it was so noisy that she couldn't help but curse.

Upon hearing such a voice, Narita Shirahito felt his heart become even more excited.

No... we shouldn't be so harsh on the audience.

These people who come to watch the competition are never professionals; technique and rhythm are not the ultimate goal for them...

The audience is not wrong; they cheer for Stardust Illusion and the Eastern Merchants' Reform because these two presented an unparalleled spectacle through the Great Escape.

However... this does not mean that Narita Shirahito will sit idly by and ignore the current situation.

Since you all feel that the competition has now become a stage for these two.

(So ​​from now on, witness my brilliance.)

Take away the spotlight, steal the attention, and completely take over the stage!

Narita Shirojin!

Because they are ahead of the pack, running behind this great cosmic player.

Therefore, from the start, Narita Shirahito saved a lot of energy, and at this moment his stamina was still very high.

(There are... three people ahead.)

(Let's start taking action now!)

At this moment, Narita Shirahito recalled the conversation he had overheard about the Stardust Illusion and the Eastern Merchants' Reform.

Swordsmen and mages?

It sounds just like the main characters from an epic tale of heroes...

(If you are swordsmen and mages, then I...)
