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

boom!

Leaning low and crouching, the pitch-black figure began to speed away.

Those swift and precise steps became faster and lighter as they trod down the straight downhill slope.

His whole body seemed to be engulfed in dark red flames, and with each step he took, he left burning black footprints on the lawn.

(...I am the Flame Wolf, the monster that devours everything in the story!)

Accelerate, accelerate!

The forceful stomping on the grass, this posture that begins to exert power beyond the universe, becomes increasingly ardent and dazzling.

The dark figure, like a fiery demon emerging from the deepest hell, roared as it charged forward!

[Passive skill Lone Wolf, activated!]

[Colorful skill Flame Wolf, activated!]

Her most skillful running technique, which she named the Flame Wolf running style, was now displayed before everyone.

The vast universe rushing ahead of her only had time to feel a chill down her spine before a massive shadow enveloped her and completely swallowed her up...

"What is that?!"

Poor Da Yuzhou screamed in fright; she never imagined that she would be frightened by a shadow.

However, within that shadow that enveloped her, there was clearly something extremely terrifying!

"What on earth is going on, one thing after another?!"

She couldn't understand the current situation.

This was the case with the previous changes in the Eastern Merchants Association, and it is the case with Narita Shirahito now.

These runners seemed to be separated from her by an insurmountable chasm; not only was catching up with them impossible, but even understanding their running style was difficult.

However, the lone wolf that swept past her had no intention of considering the feelings of the loser.

The patience I've endured since the beginning is all for this moment of explosion.

There were no more small fry blocking her way.

Let's fight!

Two heroes!!!

Chapter 189 Special Summoning: Wind Witch Ice Bell

The race is nearing its second half. The two runners who are making a run for their lives have passed the halfway point markers, and the runners behind them are getting closer and closer, covering the entire 400m+ downhill section.

[The Stardust Illusion and the Eastern Merchant Reform, although they have stopped accelerating, their overall speed shows no signs of slowing down, maintaining a distance of at least eight horse lengths.]

Is this high-speed driving really okay? Can the body handle it? What's going on in this race...? Wait, a competitor has broken out!

[It's Narita Shirahito, currently in fourth place! This runner seized an opening in the road ahead, broke through in one go, and continued to accelerate using the downhill advantage!]

She's closing in! She's closing in on the two people fleeing ahead!!!

As the match entered its second half, Narita Shirahito suddenly appeared, charging towards the two opponents like a tiger descending a mountain!

The air screeched as she sped along.

The ground seemed to be crushed by the hungry wolf, emitting an involuntary mournful cry.

An invisible aura emanated from her, condensing in the air into a dark red phantom of a giant wolf.

The fiery wolf howled to the sky, baring its ferocious fangs at all the contestants on the field.

As a lone wolf, Narita Shirahito's current task is to torment the two sheep in front of him and reclaim the glory that belongs to the winner of the arena, which is temporarily in their hands!

There was absolutely no room for Dongshang to change. Just as she realized the runner was getting close, she instinctively tried to assess whether the pursuit posed a threat to her.

However, the next moment, the lone wolf's long howl could be heard beside him—

(This speed—?)

In the blink of an eye, the distance of 8 horse lengths vanished, and the footsteps of the runner named Narita Shirahito were already close at hand, right behind her.

Even amidst the changes in the Eastern Merchant Guild, a shiver ran through her heart. This wasn't out of fear, but rather a primal instinct, akin to that of a racehorse girl, that served as a warning.

The guy behind you is the most dangerous predator ever!

The air became thick and heavy, making every step and wave of the hands feel incredibly heavy. The intense and ferocious aura swept over everything around in an instant.

It was as if a giant wolf, its body engulfed in dark flames, had opened its massive jaws and swallowed her into its foul-smelling mouth!

"...Gah!"

Gasping for breath, Narita Shirahito's eyes shone so brightly that it was hard to look directly at him.

(If this continues... it can work!)

As she watched the distance between herself and the two people in front of her getting closer and closer, she couldn't help but think this.

(Leaving aside the Stardust Illusion for now, let's first defeat this little guy... the Eastern Merchant Revolution!)

With her current speed and the distance between her and the leaders, she has enough time to take the lead before entering the final 600m of the race.

At the beginning of the race, although other runners were more or less affected by these two escapes, the pace of the entire runner group was a bit faster than usual.

However, he was merely conserving his strength, and his powerful physique was playing an extraordinary role at this moment.

What is a speed of consumption for others is just a slow jog to Narita Shirahito, a way to build up his energy.

[Golden Skill Competition Organizer, activate.]

Under these circumstances, even if the two runners ahead of her can still unleash an extraordinary final burst of speed, she will not encounter any unexpected situations... but similarly, she will not encounter any troublesome situations either.

When it comes to competing for last place, Narita Shirahito has the confidence to be second to none.

That's the rhythm... that's how Narita Shirahito runs.

The conditions for victory have been met in this instant!

Neither Stardust Illusion nor the Eastern Merchant Revolution can stand against my Hungry Wolf Tactics—this match will be my victory…

I, Narita Shirahito, shine alone!

That's how it should be...

"—?!"

However, at that moment, Narita Shirahito felt a sudden surge of restlessness within him.

Why? Is there something wrong with my strategy?

She couldn't think of any oversights.

This feeling not only couldn't be eliminated, but instead felt like a fishbone stuck in his throat, making Narita Shirahito, who was sweating profusely, feel even more uncomfortable.

Is there a problem with energy allocation?

Narita Shirahito immediately checked his condition again, but found nothing unusual.

(So ​​that means...)

Suddenly, Narita Shirahito saw it.

As we entered the third bend, the face of Dongshang's transformation was slightly turned to the side.

Those eyes stared at her, their rare pale purple color, along with the witch's hat, adding a touch of magic to the young girl.

At that moment, their eyes met, and Narita Shirahito suddenly noticed something amiss—

Even though they had been forced to close the distance to almost only a horse's length, Dong Shang Bian's expression remained calm, as if his pursuit had never existed.

Moreover, one could even see a hint of disdain in Narita Shirahito's expression.

She smiled brightly and opened her mouth to say something to Narita Shirahito.

What did Dongshang Reform say?

The sound of their hurried footsteps immediately drowned out the words spoken.

But the confidence he exuded in his words reached Narita Shirahito without any hindrance.

allow……

Their eye contact was fleeting, and they passed each other as Narita Shirahito stepped onto the bend.

However, the image of Dong Shang's reformation speech lingered in her mind, and she couldn't shake it off.

What did she say, and why was she so confident?

Narita Shirahito was eager to understand this.

allow……

Recalling the mouth movements of Dong Shang as he spoke in that scene, Narita Shirahito's mind raced—

Get ready...

(What should be prepared?)

"Ready... to receive my immense magic?"

After saying this, Dong Shang turned his head back and continued to gaze at the silhouette of the stardust illusion in front of him.

Saying just this to Narita Shirahito, who was closing in, was the greatest compliment she could give to the runner for getting so close.

For a capricious witch, there's no inherent need to accommodate others' opinions, much less to take care of other runners—

She has studied the Stardust Illusion match recordings many times with her trainer.

Naturally, Dongshang Bianbian knew that the opponent would launch their first final attack in less than 800 meters.

To beat this runner, she can't be slower than Stardust Illusion's last foot to start... she even has to start earlier!

(To complete the magic of the competition... my steps cannot stop here!)
