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

Having taken the lead, Dongshang Transformation can clearly feel its momentum declining at this point.

My limbs started to ache, and my breathing became hot and difficult.

But inexplicably, the girl felt that she was in better shape than ever before.

Better than any previous match.

(Is this what it feels like to want to win at all costs?)

In the mind of Dongshang's transformation, the following sentence flashed through his mind:

[What ordinary people can't do, you can do... because Sweepy is an extraordinary witch!]

He once again adopted that javelin-like running posture, thrusting his right leg straight back, scooping up a large chunk of grass as he flew backward.

Suddenly, he took a step backward, like an arrow shot out, and charged forward again towards the back of the stardust illusion!

Accelerate at breakneck speed... no, break through limits at breakneck speed!

A desire to win, a sense of honor, feelings for the stardust illusion, a passion for magic... and also, a longing for family.

At this moment, he went into a frenzy.

It erupted completely, unleashing the incredible power inherent in this runner's blood.

A gentle breeze swept across the field at that moment.

[Colorful Skill: Fiery Love☆A String of Red, Activated!]

In Narita Shirohito's eyes, even though she had already reached her limit, three gorgeously dressed witch phantoms seemed to appear before her.

Hand in hand, they looked back at Narita Shirahito and gracefully bowed to her from the air...

The next moment, Dong Shang's figure suddenly turned into a blur and disappeared, while her true form had already transformed into a whirlwind, leaving the fiery wolf behind without any mercy!

(The distance couldn't be shortened—it was even widened again!)

Narita Shirahito stared in disbelief at the runners ahead, so angry he almost wanted to grind his teeth to dust.

(How could this be... how could I possibly lose here!)

boom!

Hao stomped heavily on the ground, trying to continue exerting force.

However, a sudden whirlwind blew from behind, sweeping in the air and seeping into the gaps in her clothes.

The sudden chill jolted Narita Shirahito awake, his eyes widening in shock.

His face turned ashen, and his body seemed to deflate like a punctured balloon, instantly losing all coordination, and he staggered two steps to the side.

"Ha—ha—what's going on?!"

He was panting heavily, unable to catch his breath.

The foot that had been planted seemed glued to the ground, and it was even difficult to lift it again.

foot……

it is good……

Heavy!!!!!

An overwhelming sense of exhaustion washed over me, a pain that felt as if my bones were being torn apart.

His legs seemed not to be moving, but rather he was being dragged across the field on his deathbed, as if he were about to collapse unconscious on the other side in the next instant.

With great effort, Narita Shirahito took another step forward.

However, this lone wolf was fully aware of his current situation...

Thinking this, Narita Shirahito looked ahead.

Having just narrowed the gap to more than one horse length with Dongshang Reform, the gap has now increased to more than three horse lengths.

The journey ahead is still long, and the destination is not even visible at a glance.

The host's voice also rang out at the right time, reaching Narita Shirahito's ears:

[Third turn, all riders have entered the third turn! This means there are only 800 meters left in the race. Stardust Illusion is still in the lead, followed by East Commerce Reform. Narita Shirahito, who just caught up, seems to have hit a bottleneck and his speed has dropped sharply...]

The sounds after that were still inaudible.

Exhaustion made Narita Shirahito's brain sluggish, making it impossible for him to clearly process the cause and effect of the matter.

The race has just reached the third bend, and there are at least 800m left.

But she... has inexplicably lost speed?!

What happened? It was only a 1200m distance, and I was deliberately controlling my stamina during the run—how could I lose speed?!

I subconsciously lowered my head, wanting to check the condition of my feet.

I saw something unexpected.

It was a jet-black mist that connected to the ground and tightly wrapped around her feet, calves, and even spread up her thighs.

This fog is like a persistent, intractable disease; even if you try to move your legs, you can't get rid of it.

Suddenly, as if a bucket of cold water had been poured over his muddled mind, Narita Shirahito realized what had happened.

It's demonic!

On this track, there was a runner who managed to use his magic so subtly, as if it had never happened at all.

Why wasn't it discovered?

Narita Shirahito then remembered his previous arrogance and conceit.

The audience's support for Stardust Illusion and the Eastern Merchant Reform fueled her anger.

Even though things seemed to have calmed down at the time, that thought was accompanied by disdain for the audience's limited understanding...

He believed others didn't understand the situation, and that he simply hadn't taken action...

This arrogance blinded Narita Shirahito.

This demonic energy, which had almost drained her strength, was like the shadow that had frightened her years ago, yet she had deliberately put on a mask to hide from it...

Now, Narita Shirahito knows the source of this demonic power.

If anyone on the track can do this, it's the runner at the very front, seemingly without any strategy, a phantom of stardust.

I made a huge mistake...

An overwhelming sense of frustration swept over Narita Shirahito, causing her to unconsciously clench her teeth.

Leaving aside the stardust illusion?

Why did I have such a foolish thought just now...?

This match was supposed to be a contest between 18 people, but all I could see was Dongshang Reform in front of me?

This disregard for the strong on the field turned into a bitter pill that Narita Shirahito had to swallow.

The demonic power of the Stardust Illusion has even reached such a level.

In a daze, Narita Shirahito even felt as if he had returned to the battlefield of that Japan-France exchange match.

A colossal, illusory king, wielding a giant sword, swung it down at her, utterly shattering her.

An unreasonable tyrant... a powerful family.

The tyrant who destroys the arena... Stardust Illusion.

Having had his strength completely drained by a demonic force that had been unleashed at some unknown time, Narita Shirahito swayed precariously, his steps unconsciously slowing down.

If it were discovered earlier, there would be ways to shake off the demonic influence, but...

(Now it's all too late.)

She could only accept the bitter fruit she had reaped herself.

Gasping for breath, wailing.

Narita Shirahito clenched his right hand tightly against his chest, but it couldn't help him absorb even a single breath of fresh air.

Those two figures, Stardust Illusion and Eastern Merchant Reform, had begun their final battle, right in front of her, right on this third bend.

But even if one wanted to reach out and grasp the receding figure in their sight, it was already impossible.

Exhausted, panting, struggling.

Then, the lone wolf fell into the abyss.

However, Narita Shirahito was not the only one who fell into the abyss.

The current match situation has once again caused an uproar in the stands.

Even though the race is only a little past the halfway point, almost all the runners have started to slow down?!

What on earth happened to the rear echelon?! Not only Narita Shirahito, but all the runners except for the two who escaped were completely exhausted—how could this be?!

Although Stardust Illusion's performance in this race appears to be merely a consolidation of the lead she established during Escape, she has not been idle.

On the contrary, in this competition, she brought her acquired demonic power to its limit.

Although he hadn't mastered any new magical skills, his ability to use his existing abilities freely was enough to defeat the runners behind him.

It's not the sound, nor the scenery, but something much more fundamental...

Relying on the momentum of his run, he unknowingly enveloped all the runners following behind him, creating a terrifying effect that drained their strength and patience.

Unlike the terrifying power of the Flame Wolf that burned everything, the demonic nature unleashed by the Stardust Illusion was so potent that even the top player, Narita Shirahito, did not notice it.

The runners in the lead are exhausted, the runners in the middle are weak, and the runners chasing behind have their vision obscured.
