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

At this moment, the host's voice followed:

[Ladies, you're about to pass the final position of the second straight and enter the third turn! The next two turns, the third and fourth, are a huge downhill section. Can anyone seize this opportunity?!]

[Currently leading the pack is still Megumi McQueen. Her performance is incredibly consistent, living up to her reputation as a long-distance champion. Will she defend the Megumi family's honor in this race, defeating the other runners to prove her strength?!]

[In the subsequent stardust illusion, his running posture seemed off; was he feeling fatigued? An unbelievable situation! Has this overlord, who once endured a 2400m escape, also felt the pressure from the other powerful figures?!]

[Next up is Alice Souko. Souko is in excellent form; her perfect and graceful running style continues to accelerate, and the distance between her and Stardust Illusion has been reduced to less than a marathon length!]

Stop joking like that, we absolutely won't let Suzuko catch up—!

Stardust Illusion's cheeks twitched, and his lungs felt like they were about to explode.

However, his breathing was not affected, and his legs were able to continue moving forward!

While the Mejiro sisters' relentless attacks in the first half of the game had a significant impact, I was far from needing to give up.

Rather, it is precisely in this situation that I can truly get excited...

Gazing at the finish line in the distance, Stardust Illusion's crimson eyes focused on a single point.

Victory and glory are within reach. To be able to fight against these peerless experts would make even death worthwhile.

"Aa ...

The roar was like the howl of a wild beast originating from its abdomen.

Stardust Illusion almost forcibly pushed his body to its limits, making his steps even faster.

It's unbelievable that, despite being almost completely exhausted from activating her domain too early, the girl was still able to increase her pace and accelerate!

(Victory, and then glory... This is something I absolutely must do; I cannot break the promise I made to her here!)

In a daze, I seemed to see the Emperor of the East Sea giving me a radiant smile.

Okay, let's do it all in one go—

——?

In an instant, a blazing white light burst forth, completely tearing apart everything in front of the Stardust Illusion.

The already extraordinary speed has now increased dramatically! It's skyrocketing!! It's surging!!!

"It seems the burst of power from your domain just now slowed you down? If that's all... there's absolutely no way you could stop me."

What--?!

The Stardust Illusion was stunned. How could Alice still have the strength to speak to him when they were already racing through such a terrifying situation?!

[Unique skill "Summer Halo" activated!]

Unleash the power of infinite possibilities and charge toward the completely unknown shore!

Time seemed to stand still at that moment, and the Stardust Illusion watched helplessly as the runner closed in on it.

Filled with surprise and doubt, his whole body felt as if it had been completely bathed in the blazing white light summoned by Alice.

This feeling, this extraordinary power!

There is absolutely no mistake, what Alice is displaying right now is: the power of the [Domain]!

With no time to spare for anything else, Stardust Illusion could only grit its teeth and frantically urge its legs forward.

What exactly is this Suzume's domain? What strange phenomena will appear in the sky that symbolize her? I can't figure it out, and I no longer have the energy to care about these things.

On this third bend, I must hold this position no matter what—even if my opponent is Alice who has activated her domain!

Having not been forced into such a situation for a long time, Stardust Illusion gasped for breath, struggling to continue taking steps forward.

However, she felt an unprecedented sense of fulfillment.

When someone directly and forcefully overwhelms and defeats you, the chance of victory is as faint as the remaining starlight, which could be completely obliterated at any moment.

but……

The gap between Elisako and Stardust Illusion has been completely erased, and not only that, in an instant the distance has begun to widen again—Erisako has overtaken her!

[Eliseiko! Eliseiko! Eliseiko has surpassed the Stardust Illusion!!! Is the Overlord about to fall here...?!]

[There's another runner ahead, Mejiro McQueen! Can he hold on?! The battle is about to begin! On this third bend, Mejiro McQueen and Elisako face off in a decisive battle!!!]

Compared to the flashy effects of other runners' territories, Alice's state at this moment can be described as pure.

Whether it's the basic skill she just activated, or the inherent skill she used to break through to the next realm.

Without exception, they are all pure techniques for increasing speed and acceleration.

This means that at this moment, Alice's domain is also pouring all its power into these two attributes.

Focus on one point, and climb to the top.

"Stardust, watch closely—this is my [Light Speed]!!!"

boom!

With unstoppable momentum, the racehorse girl had already pushed her legs to their limits.

Alice had completely transformed into light, instantly leaving the Stardust Illusion behind. Even Megumi McQueen had no chance to resist, and she rushed ahead of everyone in one breath!

Without a doubt, this is the ultimate speed!

Chapter 320 The Shadow of the Skyscraper

[She's overtaken! She's overtaken! Irisviel has surpassed both Megumi McQueen and Stardust Illusion! Irisviel has taken the lead!!!]

[The Overlord and the Famous Actress have been defeated! It's a victory for Hayako!]

Will Alice, the lightning-fast runner, ultimately take the championship in this race?! Or will other runners make a desperate final stand and defeat her as well?!

The race is nearing its end, and all the runners have entered the third bend... Can they still catch up?! Can they catch the runners ahead?!

The deafening roar of the sound barrier being broken, along with the howling wind, filled my ears.

Surrounded by such a strong gale, Alice's eyes were bloodshot from staring.

At this moment, her mind was completely blank, with only the last thing she was thinking about left.

Can you find it?

Will I be able to truly reach that point in this competition?

Stardust.

Next up is the catalyst, the final element of the experiment. Let's see its limits!

……

The sweet, fishy smell wafted through the air to the Manchester tea house, growing stronger with each passing moment.

In her field of vision, the light that symbolized Alice was like the sun, shining completely into her golden pupils.

The speed that Alice fully unleashed was just as unmatched and incomparable as the speed that had defeated her back then.

The pressure from the unfolding territory ahead made it almost impossible for the Manchester tea house to breathe.

The physical strength in my body is being rapidly depleted, just like the scene in that G2 match back then.

The teahouse staff silently stepped forward.

I suppose that as I enter the final stage, I will be completely overwhelmed by the speedster's full-scale attack?

Her speed is like light, her steps like lightning. Absolutely no runner can challenge her in this respect.

Even those in the teahouse who aren't good at observing others can sense the indomitable fighting spirit emanating from Stardust Illusion and Megumi McQueen, who have been surpassed by Alice.

It must be very difficult to accept, right?

Being overtaken and left behind so ruthlessly in one go is a feeling that any racehorse girl would find unbearable for even a second.

We must take revenge! We must win back!

Anyone would have this thought.

This idea is precisely the best catalyst for the female racehorses to unleash their potential and break through their limits.

but……

"The time has come."

The voice in the tea room was deep, and he spoke to himself even though there was no one around.

The two runners only had a fleeting thought of revenge against Eliseko during the race.

And she was at a tea house in Manchester...

But we waited for over a thousand days and nights!

--------

Everything happened in an instant.

Stardust Illusion only realized what was happening when it watched Alice's figure gradually disappear into the distance.

What an unbelievable speed!

Along the way, Stardust Illusion has encountered many strong opponents in the competitions it has participated in, such as the East Sea Emperor, the East Merchant Reform, and Narita Shirahito.

But it was only when she saw the power of Alice's domain that she realized what a true light-speed runner really meant.

It was truly like a beam of light that was absolutely impossible to grasp; it could vanish in the blink of an eye!
