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

These runners not only show differences in physical fitness on the curves, but more importantly, they can display more skill here, allowing them to widen the gap between themselves and the other runners.

Now, under the spotlight, the noise in the audience, which had been gradually subsiding, is beginning to rise again, like a rising tide.

All the supporters in the audience craned their necks and widened their eyes, eagerly anticipating the exciting match to come.

[First bend—coming! Stardust Phantom and Megure McQueen surged forward...and overtook them! Megure McQueen was ahead! Megure McQueen was faster!!!]

[Stardust Illusion's speed has begun to slow slightly! Was the initial battle with Ryan too intense?! But she hasn't given up yet; Stardust Illusion is still clinging to the gap, not letting McQueen leave her behind!!!]

The domain time is over!

When the two were locked in a fierce battle at McQueen's Silver Castle, and Stardust Illusion defeated both of them, she felt a suffocating sensation as if someone were squeezing her insides. The pain was so intense that she almost fainted.

However, the game is still ongoing!

Forced to overload its heartbeat, the Stardust Illusion entered another overload state as soon as it fell out of the domain.

She clenched her teeth, feeling the groans of exhaustion coming from all parts of her body. This was not a sign of physical exhaustion or a problem with her body, but it was definitely due to overexertion that was affecting her ability to continue running.

However, despite the unusual soreness in his muscles and the fact that his eyes could capture the enormous castle in the sky that had suppressed the two dragons, Stardust Illusion's heart remained completely untroubled.

Even though she has now completely lost her leading position and the Great Escape can be considered a substantial failure, Stardust Illusion doesn't feel that she has fallen into any disadvantage.

(If we're talking about the side effects of this field, you'll have to bear them too, right?)

As Stardust Illusion watched Megure McQueen enter the first bend with a tilted stance right in front of him, his mind went blank. Without hesitation, he adjusted his posture and took a light step.

He took firm and swift steps, shifting his entire body's center of gravity forward. The Stardust Illusion lowered his body and leaned forward, his entire center of gravity moving completely forward. The power of his waist combined perfectly with the centripetal inertia generated by high-speed running.

In the Stardust Illusion's eyes, it seemed as if the phantoms of the East Sea Emperor and the Super Stream were running wildly in front of him at the same time, and their movements gradually synchronized with his own.

[Golden Skill: Arc Artist, activated!]

The most perfect cornering form is now showing its true colors again on this first corner!

Like the return of the tide, the stamina generated by the special cornering technique was instantly poured into the Stardust Illusion's body, revitalizing its previously nearly depleted form.

So next... we'll launch a counterattack!

----------

This match was fiercely contested from the very beginning, a situation that most of the players had never encountered before.

Therefore, collecting and analyzing information is very important for these runners.

On the track, the most suitable position for gathering information is undoubtedly the two players who are currently running at the back, forced to adopt a chasing strategy due to a starting error, thus bringing everyone under their sight:

The Golden Ship and the Noblewoman.

The lady, in particular, considered herself the strongest runner in the race before the start. So when she was provoked by the Golden Ship and started late, she was holding her breath and waiting for an opportunity to overtake the others. Therefore, she paid special attention to the movements of the other runners.

To put it bluntly, in the noblewoman's view, no matter how much the guy ahead of her tries to outdo her, he can't possibly stand up to her who has real power.

If she just finds the right moment to break through, then no one should be able to stop her powerful strength.

"Alice and the Manchester tea house...don't they intend to take any action?"

He muttered to himself, analyzing the condition of each player on the field.

The noblewoman also took in the scene of the three runners, Megumi Ryan, Stardust Illusion, and Megumi McQueen, activating their domains one after another. She was well aware that the price to pay for activating a domain at this time was not something she, known for her physical prowess, could not afford; she just needed to wait for the right moment.

Now that all three of them have used their domains, it can be said that they have used up their chance to explode ahead of time. They are no longer afraid of the noblewoman. Meanwhile, the two contestants of the same age who are slightly behind, Alice and Manchester Tea House, are maintaining a lukewarm attitude, and it is clear that they have no intention of speeding up for the time being.

Meanwhile, the Golden Ship beside her is a runner who chases from behind. Even though she has excellent physical qualities, she will only start to exert her strength in the second half of the race.

Not to mention the rest, such as Shiraishi. Even though they are considered strong by ordinary racehorse girls, in this race, it is conservatively estimated that more than half of the runners have domains. As long as they have domains, they can deal a devastating blow to them. I'm afraid that the next two or three racehorse girls will be exhausted just by dealing with the continuous suppression.

No other runners could pick up speed at this point. Since the first bend of the racecourse wasn't very long, the entrance to the next bend was already in sight. This was the best moment for the competition for position—after all, letting the runners in front continue to build up momentum would be somewhat troublesome for the ladies.

"So, it's my turn, Donna, to take the stage now?"

A declaration resounded in everyone's ears, instantly igniting the competition!

The voice came from an unknown source, and its tone wasn't particularly intense; in fact, it sounded somewhat teasing.

But the sound reached everyone's ears without any reduction in volume; the soft whisper instantly transformed into a deafening roar upon entering the cochlea—

The owner of this voice is someone all the racers were wary of before the race: Lady, who once became the representative female racehorse of the year and currently holds a total of 6 G1 wins!

[Colorful Skill Spell, activated.]

"——!!!"

In an instant, a chilling sense of dread permeated the entire arena. The rising heat caused beads of sweat to trickle down the faces of the racehorse girls, who wore expressions of disbelief, their entire bodies completely restrained.

(The third realm... Stardust Illusion, don't let me down!!!)

Alice, who was in the middle of the group, had an indifferent look in her eyes, but hidden in them was an incomparable fervor.

The pressure that now hangs over her and all the other runners is something Suko is no stranger to; it's a quality that top runners must possess, and it's also the best catalyst to push the experiment to a higher level.

Now that things have come to this, that chilling feeling of being completely under control has taken shape.

The brown-haired girl in the white coat, under the immense pressure of the domain, raised her head, her reddish-brown eyes fixed on the stardust illusion rushing ahead, anticipating the confrontation that was about to unfold.

Immediately afterwards, all the light on the entire track disappeared, and darkness swept over all the runners, making it seem as if nothing could be seen in the world anymore.

In the pitch-black darkness, all sounds around them had completely disappeared, and the racehorse girls seemed to hear only the pounding of their own hearts.

With each heartbeat, a deeper fear arises in my mind, a suffocating sense of dread that seems to spring from nowhere.

Suddenly, a dull and heavy footstep broke the deathly silence in the dark area. The footstep was like a giant hammer striking solid stone. It was not just a sound, but also an invisible force, carrying oppression and fear, surging towards everyone from all directions.

The next second, the lady's whisper resonated in the hearts of all the runners:

"You guys aren't actually thinking you can defeat me, are you...?"

Who would think that? You monster gorilla!!

He watched helplessly as the noblewoman's figure moved forward, but Shiraishi was completely unable to move, or even shout out what was on his mind.

It was as if the whole world had come to a complete standstill, and only she had the right to continue moving forward.

An unconscious smile crept onto her lips, a testament to the noblewoman's certainty about the strength and outcome of the moment.

The scorching winds will surely sweep across the land, and when light and darkness meet, let it... crash down!

[Colorful skill Divine Might, activated.]

Roaring as it approached the track, the towering giant, driven by the noblewoman, transformed into an unparalleled force, piercing through the entire track.

What followed was the host's incredulous exclamation:

[What the heck happened?! Shortly after entering the first turn, and before even touching the second turn, the runner who was in tenth place due to a brake failure suddenly accelerated from the far outside!!!!]

[So fast! So fast! This is a speed only the very last runners in the races can see! Have the other racehorses been frozen in time?!]

[Incredible! Is this the overwhelming strength of 6G1?!]

Suddenly brought back to their senses by the host's shouts, the runners still had expressions of confusion and surprise on their faces, and the illusion in front of them was finally swept away.

As top-tier racehorse girls capable of attending the Takarazuka Memorial, their movements were equally swift. Influenced by the unusually fast pace of their previous escape, almost instinctively, the racehorse girl named Shiraishi began to take steps forward as soon as the lady started her sudden burst of speed.

however.

"...the laughter stops (ridiculous)."

The noblewoman's icy declaration instantly swept over Shiraishi, freezing her completely in place.

Heavy yet powerful, the noblewoman's steps were imbued with a divine aura symbolizing power, much like the divine soldiers summoned behind her.

Although he was running, it was as if he was swinging an iron fist at all the runners who stood in his way. His invincible posture could not be stopped by anyone. He ran straight through with the most brutal running style!

Surpass one person, and then surpass one more.

In the blink of an eye, the noblewoman had broken through the rear echelon and rushed straight ahead.

The racehorses that were thrown off were completely unable to put up any decent resistance, and they didn't even have the courage to block them with their bodies. They could only watch helplessly as their opponents overtook them and moved further and further away.

"That is the power to defeat the master..."

The golden ship, now in last place, looked at the unparalleled sprint before it and couldn't help but feel a little breathless.

Because she knew very well that this was the person she was about to challenge... a guy who was almost godlike in strength!

[The second bend is approaching! At this moment, no runner can stop the lady. Overtaking one, two... she's overtaken them all! With just this one bend, the lady has overtaken five people in one go!!!]

[Such fast cornering speed! Does this lady have no limits?! She's still accelerating, constantly closing the gap with the runners ahead!!]

[Here she comes! Challenging the leading group at the very front... Good heavens! Does the lady intend to sprint straight to the front?! That's a position that's not even in the middle of the race!]

The second... bend!

The noblewoman who had just stepped in paused, just as everyone thought that she, who had chased all the way here, was finally exhausted.

However, what followed was not a halt, but rather a terrifying roar caused by the immense force of the stomp.

The powerful force completely tore up the grass, and the runners, who were already leaving afterimages, increased their speed to another level!

[Colorful skill Kagura, activated.]

The billowing heat had completely condensed into a white stream of air, swirling around the giant's right fist.

The next moment, he swung his iron fist down at the four runners in front of him.

Shatter!

Jade shattered!

Big cheers!

This is Kamui... Crushing Blow!!!
