There is no way to catch up anymore; the gap will only widen.

These runners, under the spell of this magical phenomenon, have completely lost their chance and can only become supporting characters in this race!

But... the game isn't over yet.

Because besides the Stardust Illusion, there was another runner who continued running and even closed the distance between them.

The transformation of Dongshang.

Even though she was also affected by the demonic influence, it was only for a brief moment before it was completely swept away by the strange energy contained in her bloodline.

(Even if there is a gap between me and the last of the Stardust Illusion, the difference won't be too great...)

Dongshang is now more focused than ever before. Although the effects of the Great Escape have taken hold of her, they have not stopped this runner from continuing her run.

It can still move forward, it can still run.

(Since the final scores are so close... the key to victory lies in who can seize the initiative.)

2 horse length.

Take the first step.

Grass clippings flew backward beneath the horseshoes.

Dongshang Bianbian gritted his teeth and continued to push his body forward.

(The fact that I've been able to maintain my current level of physical strength is also thanks to the power of magic...)

(We're about to enter the final bend... There's only one thing left to do.)

1 horse length.

Unleash your magic and push this "running magic" to its limits!

Squeeze every last drop of energy out of your body and further increase your speed.

Logically speaking, this is something that should not be possible for Kura. How can a body that has already run to its limit generate even greater speed out of thin air?

but……

(I can do things that others can't.)

Because I am a witch, I am...

"I'm the extraordinary Sweepy—!!!"

For the first time, the girl roared on the track, venting her pain with a shout.

The final, narrow difference, the stardust illusion so close yet so far, was perfectly struck by magic—

--no.

Suddenly, the boiling passion froze.

"...Huh?"

The scene before my eyes seemed to instantly transform into a world of ice and snow, freezing my hands and feet.

The biting cold even penetrated her body, directly affecting the internal organs of Dong Shang's transformation, causing her entire being to cease functioning due to the chill...

No, it's just an illusion.

The next moment, she regained consciousness.

But there are also things that are not illusions.

On the track, whirlwinds from all directions converged on the runners ahead.

This is the prelude to a sudden storm, a warning of thunder and lightning.

Even during the Dongshang Reform, he subconsciously swallowed.

She suddenly realized where she was.

The sign they had just crossed indicated that there were 800 meters left in the race.

So the steps that the stardust illusion just took were...

Remaining distance: 777m.

Having defeated the monster known as the Flame Wolf, the swordsman, as seen by others, now revealed his true form.

That was a blue whirlwind sweeping upwards, and a giant dragon roaring in, breaking the sound barrier!

The phantom descended from the heavens and instantly connected with the running stardust illusion.

The explosive footsteps instantly shattered the lawn in front of him, and the golden streaks of light transformed into thunder as they crashed down.

All the spectators in the stadium, watching this incredible scene unfold before them, felt as if a gust of wind was pushing them from behind, and then…

A flash!

The distance that Dongshang Reform had just narrowed instantly stabilized, and no matter how hard Dongshang Reform tried, it could not increase it.

In the blink of an eye, the Stardust Illusion had arrived elsewhere, stepping down towards the final bend.

However, the Stardust Illusion's offensive was far from over. Before even entering the final straight, the runner's speed had already increased for the second time!

boom!

The gunshots rang out again, bullets aimed at victory.

"——!!!"

Dong Shang felt a sudden pang of pain in his heart, as if he had been shot directly by a special bullet.

The witch's bloodline, which had been burning brightly, cooled completely and even congealed within her blood vessels.

"Cough—!"

Her sudden burst of heavy breathing caused her to pause in her pursuit.

Can't catch up...?

The girl was shocked to discover that the second acceleration that the Stardust Illusion unleashed at that moment was like the last straw that broke the camel's back, landing on her.

It's not just that the distance can't be shortened.

Even maintaining that gap was no longer possible; the distance, roughly the length of a horse's length, was gradually widening...

1.5, 1.8... and then, two horses.

[Click.]

There are only about 400 meters left to go to the finish line...

To achieve victory, one must transcend the stardust illusions ahead...

We must keep moving forward; victory is essential, a necessary step to complete the "magic of the game"!

What's going on...? The finish line is so far away...

I'm getting more and more anxious and tired.

The girl clenched her teeth tightly.

Lost? I'm going to lose?

With only 600 meters left in the race against Saber... am I about to lose?

[Click, click, click. 】

Logically, that's correct.

My feet have lost all feeling, and my arms are starting to go numb.

With each breath, my lungs felt like they were about to explode.

"I've reached my limit," my body is telling my brain.

(Is this my limit?)

Is this the end?

but……

but!

"Yada!"

Refuse, refuse to acknowledge this fact.

"Yada! Yada!!"

Reject this reality without any mercy.

If we don't keep running here, then there is no future to speak of.

"Yada yada yada yada yada yada!!!!"

[Click, click, click. 】

"Yada!!! I...don't want to lose!!!"

This isn't a question of whether it's possible or not; it's about the transformation of Dongshang... She, Sweepy, absolutely must accomplish this!

If you've reached your limit, then go and surpass it.

If failure has already become a reality, then just deny reality!

Magic, from the very beginning, has been about doing the unimaginable.

In other words, magic is the technology of rejecting reality!

I will fail.

Then... we should refuse it.

"It was agreed that... we would keep winning and complete the ultimate, supreme magic."

"Use that [competition magic] for Grandmother—"

boom.
