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

"Ha ha--!"

Stardust Illusion, whose physical potential had been completely squeezed out, was beginning to feel dizzy.

With her domain already closed, she had no chance to challenge Suzume, who was currently unleashing the full power of her domain. Even Megumi McQueen beside her was in much better condition than her.

That's already the limit...

Even among runners of the classic year, he has already achieved a unique brilliance, but compared to these predecessors, he is still too inexperienced...?

(No, what am I thinking...!)

He bit his lower lip tightly, and blood seeped from under his fangs, pouring into the Stardust Illusion's throat.

The girl's expression was ferocious, her eyes wide with anger, and her fighting spirit seemed to surge to its peak in a final burst of energy.

For her, the momentary weakness she felt was far more unacceptable than being defeated head-on by Alice, or even being unable to catch up at this very moment.

I'm not as good as Alice...?

Are you kidding me?

If you can't match her speed, then use acceleration to defeat her!

If acceleration is not as good as speed, then try to compete in endurance!

If you don't have the advantage in endurance, use your demonic powers to disrupt them!

If even demonic powers don't work... and if I can't think of any other way to win, then I'll tear a piece of flesh from her body, even if it means using these fangs—

The game isn't over yet, is it?

As long as the competition continues, I haven't lost, and I have no reason to lose.

Pounce on her, tear her apart, rush over and trample her, stay close behind her, don't give Suko any chance to breathe!

—?!

Suddenly, his breathing was forcibly stopped, and his limbs trembled violently.

It's not just a stardust illusion.

Just as Megumi Ryan was about to gather his strength for a final burst, he suddenly felt an indescribable chill.

The boiling blood in my body suddenly cooled down, as if I had been instantly placed in a cold, damp, and terrifying cave, and even my will was completely suppressed.

Countless jet-black chains flew in from behind, completely binding and restraining the Stardust Illusion's limbs and body. Unparalleled pain seeped into its very bones the moment the chains touched it—

This was a terrifying, almost suffocating, demonic force she had never felt before.

It is the darkness that devours everything, the evil that completely consumes all things, the shadow that reigns over all runners on the track!

With his head slightly tilted to the side, using the curve of the road to look back, Ryan's eyes widened.

However, what immediately caught the eye was a pair of silver eyes, one gold and one red!

Behind herself and Megumi Ardan, in the middle to rear of the group, the racehorse girl shrouded in darkness slowly raised her head.

The sharp glint in the long black-haired runner's eyes instantly made her instinctively avert her gaze.

In a daze, Megumi Ryan seemed to see a vaguely visible figure enveloping the runner named Manchester Tea House.

However, before she could take another look, that terrifying gaze, as if haunted by a curse, had already locked onto her completely.

This is an aura completely different from that of ordinary places.

If Ryan's domain emphasizes muscular strength, and Alice's domain emphasizes speed—then what is currently enveloping the Manchester Tea House is a demonic power that is no less powerful, purely for the purpose of devouring and plundering!

The black-haired girl, who had been lukewarm since the start of the competition, now exuded an indescribable presence and pressure.

Even though her domain was not yet fully developed, the lady had no doubt about what would happen next.

(Reaching the Domain level solely through demonic power? How is that possible!)

Chapter 321 An Impossible Counterattack

Despite running on the best hard grass, the racehorses felt as if they were sinking into a quagmire, with each step they took only to be swallowed up further.

That pure, pitch-black aura descended from above, like an ice bucket suddenly poured over their heads, completely extinguishing the passion burning in everyone's hearts, leaving them with only the purest fear!

For a moment, Megumi McQueen, who had just been trying to regain the lead, felt his body completely stiffen, and his hand and foot movements became involuntarily disordered.

This bizarre feeling, like a problem with the connection between the nerves and the body, was unbelievable to the runner with light purple hair, but he could only watch helplessly as Alice in front of him was almost completely unaffected, leaving him behind step by step.

More importantly, the tremor that lingered in their hearts showed no sign of dissipating. It was as if a force suddenly appeared behind them, pulling them backward and telling the people in front of them something:

(—It's coming, the scariest one is coming!)

This is the prelude to the coming storm, the impending profound terror!

The Golden Ship, still maintaining its position in the chase, couldn't help but swallow hard as it looked at the black runner ahead.

Running ahead of Manchester City's tea house, the top three contenders are naturally the tea house's main focus, especially Alice, who is currently sprinting ahead in first place.

The runners behind them, although not heavily covered by the area, could not completely resist the residual force due to the difference in strength.

As she was still chasing from behind, she was arguably the only racehorse girl in the entire race who wasn't affected by this aura.

Even so, she couldn't help but blink hard, trying to see the true face of the darkness ahead:

"Seriously...? They've only just crossed the center line! And they're already preparing to start with their last kick? That's too much!"

Staring at the Manchester City tea house where every step he took left a hole, cold sweat broke out on his golden face.

She immediately recognized the man's intentions. He was gathering strength and momentum for his final sprint. She was sure that once he stepped into her preferred distance, he would show everyone what he was capable of.

His entire body was completely enveloped in a terrifying aura of demonic energy, and he was utterly unable to control the terrifying malevolent energy emanating from him.

Even a brief glance is enough to discern just how terrifying the power emanating from her body truly is.

What exactly is it? How could there be such a powerful being among the current Uma Musume (horse girls)?

One question after another puzzled Xiao Huangjin, even causing her to waver and hesitate for a moment.

But Golden Ship didn't hesitate for long; her greatest strength was self-regulation.

If you can't figure it out, then don't think about it anymore... Anyway, things will work themselves out in the end!

The true form that can only be displayed after the competition begins. Facing so many strong opponents today, including a noblewoman who once defeated a master, the Golden Ship is now completely serious.

pat.

The roar of the ocean waves instantly reverberated throughout the entire stadium. Before the Manchester City tea party could erupt, the Golden Ship had already unleashed its full final sprint—

The horseshoes, carrying mud and grass, slammed into the ground, and the golden ship, which had already set anchor, revealed its true form.

Dark clouds instantly obscured the sun, and all the racehorse girls felt as if they were on a small boat under a raging storm, only able to watch helplessly as they were swept up to the crest of the wave and then capsized in the deep sea.

Thunder and tsunami erupted simultaneously, golden light ripped through the darkness, and the colossal waves, seemingly devouring the sun, bowed down before the runner.

The terrifying strides of violence conquer both the waves and the sky, a truly spectacular sight rarely seen even once a year, a magnificent voyage as an unsinkable behemoth raises its anchor!

[Unique skill "Unsinkable Ship - Anchoring" activated!]

"Little Gold is getting serious this time... Ah, please don't target me!"

----------

[All runners have surged into the third turn! The race is entering its most exciting phase! The runner in the lead is now Airi Soko! Airi Soko's speed is still captivating!]

[Then came Mejiro McQueen and Stardust Illusion, their gaps were so close it was hard to tell who would go first! But both runners faced the same problem: a lack of stamina in their final moments… Could a miracle still happen with their last step?!]

[A little behind are Megumi Ryan and Megumi Ardan...]

The host's narration echoed in his ears, and the urgency in Stardust Illusion's eyes grew even more intense.

She certainly understood that the analysis of her situation in the explanation was not wrong; the burden on their bodies caused by activating their domains too early was the biggest problem they faced.

In this short period of time, Alice's domain and the magic of Manchester Tea House were also interfering with her, and she could vaguely hear the sound of waves.

It could be said that those who still had energy left had practically turned the competition into their own arena, no longer taking those who had already burned out seriously.

but--

Feeling the terrifying pressure pressing down on him like Mount Tai, Stardust Illusion couldn't help but smile.

The way Alice was running ahead was almost completely imprinted in those beastly eyes.

The five senses, which she could instinctively control, formed a perfect "net." Stardust Illusion was like a hunter navigating this "net," and no movement of Suzume could escape her perception.

She could understand, she could understand the steps Alice took as she ran.

He could see the way Alice was waving her arms as she ran.

He could see the tilt of Alice's center of gravity as she ran.

She could see the burning flame within Alice as she moved forward.

Yes, she can understand it.

Countless images flashed through his mind, images of what Alice, one of his trainers, had explained to him during his previous training sessions.

Then, this content corresponded with what the Stardust Illusion was observing at that moment, and countless pieces of information surged into the Stardust Illusion's mind like a tide.

In that instant, the Stardust Illusion's five senses completely blocked out everything around it, taking in everything about Alice.

Yes, that's right! That's exactly how it should be done!

The greater the pressure, the clearer Stardust Illusion's mind became; she was not entirely without a chance of victory.

On the contrary...

Even though she has already used her domain, her moment to counterattack is just around the corner!

Chapter 322 The Second Arrow

The Takarazuka Memorial is a race with a total distance of 2200m.

The third bend in the second half of the race is located between 1250m and 1550m.

In other words, it refers to the remaining distance of 950m to 650m in the race.

In other words... it's a special location that includes 777m!

[The Golden Ship player is starting to accelerate! She's overtaken three people in a row and is now behind the Manchester City tea house!!!]
