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

Because she is the embodiment of both genius and splendor, and is the object of high hopes by her entire family and her devoted audience.

A masterpiece!

Then, a brilliant idea struck!

That's right, if I want to defeat the Stardust Illusion, this is the only way for me.

If you can catch up with and overtake her at the third and final corners, the outcome will still be uncertain!

The First Ruby, the glamorous young lady, clenched her teeth, her face showing a troubled yet resolute expression.

She knew that her idea was also unlikely... but at least it wasn't impossible!

My steps shifted slightly, using the footwork I had practiced countless times for turning.

The only one who can challenge the Stardust Illusion here is himself, so...

"I have no choice but to do it myself!"

In the blink of an eye, the girl had already assumed the running posture unique to the glamorous clan, and she stomped her feet on the ground with an extremely fast pace.

The graceful, soaring posture it displayed in an instant, like a fledgling eagle taking flight, undoubtedly lived up to its name of "magnificent"!

[The colorful skill shines as brightly as the sun and moon; it has been activated!]

[Supreme Inherent Skill, Activated!]

The First Ruby, originally a strong runner with a powerful rear foot, is now demonstrating undeniable strength.

That was the stance she originally planned to fully unleash at the very end, in order to secure victory.

I don't care anymore, I'm going to explode at her!

If Stardust Illusion knew what the First Ruby was thinking at this moment, it would probably have spoken up for her, right?

But in any case, Ruby's determination to place all his hopes for victory on the two corners has completely transformed into a ferocious and soaring fighting spirit.

From the rebellious roar that erupted on the field, this glamorous young lady took swift steps, followed by her first...

The first time, it brought the Stardust Illusion closer to her!

Chapter 260 has disappeared?!

[First Ruby! First Ruby is accelerating here! This—just shortly after entering the third turn, First Ruby has begun to accelerate to catch up with the leading Stardust Illusion. Is it getting impatient from the great escape?!]

[She's so fast... she's practically the last one! The distance between her and Stardust Illusion is closing rapidly! Ahh! Is she about to catch up?]

As we approach the fourth corner, the Tokyo Mile has entered its second half.

Although Stardust Illusion was a full nine horse lengths behind the other runners at this moment, it was a truly despairing situation.

Even under these circumstances, not a single runner chose to give up. They either gathered their strength to unleash a sudden burst of power in the next round, or they had completely unleashed their full potential to start chasing.

In the runners' group, this elegantly dressed young lady seized the moment when most runners slowed down as they entered the bend, and during this time she displayed her powerful last-kick strength, breaking out of the group breathlessly!

Even the spectators standing on the sidelines were surprised that a racehorse girl could suddenly accelerate and break through the blockade to shorten the distance between herself and the Stardust Illusion before the end of the race.

But after seeing who this person was, my doubts subsided considerably.

(As expected, the pinnacle of the Dream Bloodline is no pushover... First Ruby, is she going to challenge Stardust Illusion here?)

However, it is a great pity.

Sensing the sudden surge of fighting spirit behind him, Stardust Illusion didn't even turn its head, its heart completely unmoved, only its running posture suddenly changed.

However, this change in posture made the First Ruby behind him feel as if his whole body had been plunged into ice water.

A chill, accompanied by an intense sense of crisis, swept over her, as if someone had suddenly pulled out a firearm and pointed it at her heart.

(That action was...!)

The First Ruby instantly recognized the posture of the Stardust Illusion in front of her. She opened her mouth as if to say something, but found that even the sound was stuck in her throat.

Immediately afterward, under the young lady's incredulous gaze, the stardust illusion in front of her suddenly stomped onto the lawn...

The earth suddenly cracked open at that moment.

The bullet aimed at victory left the barrel and pierced through the chest of the First Ruby who had just closed in!

"Well--!"

Just like a replica of the final showdown of the Kyoto Mares Special, Ruby One barely maintained her running form, entering the third turn with Stardust Illusion, heading towards the final fourth turn.

However, to the young lady's despair, the gap between herself and her opponent seemed to mirror that of the match, and no matter what she did, she couldn't close the gap even a tiny bit.

He could only watch helplessly as the stardust illusion receded further and further away, seemingly about to be completely left behind.

More importantly, she even discovered that as the other person was leaving her behind, their running posture was constantly being subtly adjusted, as if they were not satisfied with the current situation and were continuing to improve their precision...

She's even still evolving?!

(This, this kind of thing...)

Realizing this, the young lady unconsciously clenched her teeth, widened her eyes, and vented her surprise and doubt.

She could hardly believe that the Stardust Illusion, which had already widened the gap to such an extent, could still continue to evolve on the field!

The fact that he was already outmatched in skill was not the cruelest thing. At that moment, the First Ruby realized the decisive gap between himself and the Stardust Illusion.

It was as if the Stardust Illusion was speaking to itself with the most direct footsteps and its ineffable power:

First Ruby... As a racehorse girl, you have absolutely nothing to be proud of.

Whether it's physical fitness, running skills, or the potential to continue improving even after reaching this level...

The First Ruby sensed a colossal chasm that stretched across the heavens and earth between herself and the Stardust illusion.

(Is this... the level of skill required to achieve a victory by a massive 6-horse length in the Satsuki Sho?)

But Ruby, who was thinking this way, was unaware of something even more cruel.

If you really let her think that this is the full extent of this monster's abilities, then you are seriously underestimating the runners at the Satsuki Sho.

Absolute speed, undeniable power...

What Stardust Illusion is about to show is this kind of run that can completely shut everyone up and send them plummeting into the abyss!

boom!

[Skill 777, activated.]

[The unique skill "Miracle Runner of the Holy Night" has been activated!]

The moment Stardust Illusion stepped into the only designated spot on the track, it simultaneously activated this powerful, inherent running technique.

Even on the mile track, the boost from Holy Night won't be fully realized, but that's enough.

That's enough; let her begin the final acceleration of the race!

Racing at the very front of the track, leaving everyone else in the dust, Stardust Illusion's eyes were both bewildered and focused.

Her legs stomped heavily on the grass, creating distinct cracks in the track beneath her feet. Her body pressed tightly against the innermost fence, instantly transforming the path beneath her feet into a star-studded avenue!

Her clear and still mind reflected the two runners in front of her.

The blurry figure speeding on the left is a strange bird soaring through the sky.

The blurry figure speeding on the right is the king of the mile race, the Tree Express.

What will happen next?

At the very moment that footstep landed, the runners following behind the stardust illusion instantly felt a biting cold envelop them completely, followed by a rising sense of life-or-death crisis.

It was as if a sniper suddenly appeared in the shadows, pointing his gun—a weapon powerful enough to pierce through a tank—at him.

The howling wind, the biting cold that erodes physical strength, and the dread that makes one feel like they're sitting on pins and needles.

The contestants' spirits were shattered by the overwhelming aura emanating from the monster at the forefront, leaving them only trembling in fear...

(What...what is this?!)

The First Ruby stared wide-eyed, trying to see what the Stardust Illusion was trying to do.

However, the more she tried to understand the other person's running, the more her head throbbed, and she was unable to analyze any useful information at all...

Even in the next second, the stardust illusion that she was watching suddenly exploded, turning into a sky full of dust and completely dissipating!

"Disappeared?!"

No, it's that it's shaken off!

The Stardust Illusion accelerated through the bend like a black storm, leaving all the runners behind it behind.

Everyone could only watch helplessly as she disappeared from their sight and ran towards the finish line!

Chapter 261 Completely Alone

The monsters advanced triumphantly, destroying the entire event.

Behind her, all that remained were her opponents, scattered and broken by the impact of her extraordinary presence.

They could only stare blankly as the racehorse at the front left everyone behind. Its victorious posture, leading the pack and silencing all others, caused everyone immense pain.

Only now did they realize how foolish their pre-match predictions had been.

This isn't about whether she gave it her all or not; it's that this race has become this runner's personal stage!

Runners who can participate in G1-level races are all young women who have confidence in their legs and are willing to fight everything for the race.

However, on this field, the Stardust Illusion's overwhelming power—its initiation of the Great Escape, its demonic interference, and now this extraordinary final step—is truly astounding.

If described as a duel, it would be as if they had just drawn their swords when they were all shot down by the machine guns of the Stardust Illusion.

Most importantly, even if the Stardust Illusion were truly willing to abandon firearms and take up swords to fight them, it would likely demonstrate a level of skill surpassing their own.

Her strength, her all-out effort... this is not respect for the opponent at all, but a ruthless and complete extermination of the weak!

They could almost feel the oppressive force emanating from the stardust illusion gripping their throats.

The deafening roar of the tyrant echoed in my ears:

"Kneel down... for me!!!"
