I, the horse racing girl, really didn’t sprint!

I originally wanted to have a duel with Bai Ren, but how could Barbatos catch up like this?

And at this speed, it was as if he was facing the president.

This is right!

This is what a dream cup should look like.

“It’s an amazing speed.”

Narita Bairen, who also noticed the recognition expressed by Barbatos chasing him from behind, was almost in the same position!

She suddenly exerted force on her feet. She was also good at the last kick, so she chose to run in this position to compete with the president in the strength of the last kick. At the same time, she accepted Ling Amazon's invitation to a one-on-one duel.

But this time there is one more opponent.

Barbatos!

You are already a horse girl who is worthy of standing on the stage of Dream Cup!

Narita Shirahito goes all out and starts the battle for the final straight line!

[Light Boots·Glory of Justice] Barbatos accelerated, and even when facing the all-out efforts of Ling Amazon and Narita Bairen, he still shortened the distance between them.

If we only consider the speed in a few seconds, she should be considered the number one horse racing girl in Japan!

Red lightning raged around, as if destroying everything around.

The sense of oppression is even greater than that of Tamamo Cross, but it is still within an acceptable range for the legendary horse girls and will not affect them.

"I feel like my body can't hold on any longer."

"The treatment has already been used, you must hold on to your body!"

Even though the pursuit ability of [Lightfoot Boots·Glory of Justice] is abnormal, it is still inferior in terms of duration.

Just barely catching up with Narita Hakuren and Ling Amazon, the duration was over.

Even so, it can only barely keep pace with its predecessor Amazon. Is it running out of momentum in the future?

Next to her, Hishi Amazon, and Narita Shirahito.

Rudolph has a clear insight into the situation of the entire stadium and can clearly feel that the pressure of this Winter Dream Cup is greater than in previous years.

Oguruma who seems to have exceeded his limits, Maruzenski who is widening the gap, and Barbatos who is not a legend.

"One horse leads the way, and all other horses lose their glory."

"Barbatos, perhaps even if you can't become number one now, you have already blossomed."

Rudolph symbolizes inner recognition.

But now you are still a little bit short of being a true legendary horse girl.

At this moment, Rudolf's symbolic pupils exploded, and his emperor-like domain instantly expanded.

Compared to Narita Hakuhito and the others, she would often activate her domain only when absolutely necessary, and would only use it when she was about to lose.

This is a habit she kept before she became a legendary horse girl and competed in the Dream Cup!

She is the emperor of the entire Japanese horse racing world!

"emperor!"

"Rudolph symbolizes the start of a full-out run, even more powerful than Barbatos's momentum, even more powerful than Narita Shirahito's Z陾九"Iv Slippery + Yimojiao."

"Slowly but surely, I'm pulling away from the other legends, chasing after Oguruma and Maruzenski!"

"Can the emperor really defend his own glory?"

"Only Oguruma, Maruzenski and other horse racing girls can take the throne of the emperor!"

The live broadcast and commentary watched the situation on the field.

This Winter Dream Cup was totally unexpected. I thought it would be a one-sided situation and that the newly debuted Barbatos would have no ability to catch up.

But both Oguruma and the others, as well as Barbatos, have demonstrated speed and strength beyond their previous levels.

Come and compete for the victory of this competition!

"The strongest team, Maruzenski and Oguri, are only 200 meters away from the finish line!"

"The Emperor has already caught up with Good Opera and Gas Trough, and is clearly showing signs of surpassing them!"

"Narita Hakuren and Hishi Amazon are also catching up, Barbatos?"

"Barbatos's speed has slowed down. Is it because his stamina hasn't been fully distributed?"

"Barbatos has mostly competed in short distances and miles, but she has also won middle distance races, which suggests she's not weak in them either."

"That's probably because of the opponent."

"When your opponents are all legendary horse girls, and you're really pushing yourself to the limit, the consumption of your stamina is enormous."

"It seems that Barbatos will withdraw from the Dream Cup competition this time."

Regarding this point of view, many people who truly understand Uma Musume have already come to this definite conclusion.

Judging from Barbatos' current performance, it has exceeded their expectations by far. So even if he loses in the Dream Cup, no matter what happens in subsequent games, I believe there will be many fans who know Uma Musume and will vote for Barbatos' popularity.

Barbatos can definitely be said to be a promising horse girl in the future.

There is a chance that the horse girl will be able to challenge for the top three spots in the Dream Cup in the future.

After this competition, even those who are not fans of Barbatos will believe that Barbatos will definitely become a legendary horse girl in the future!

But actually standing on the field.

Barbatos, who was running, didn't think so. No horse girl wanted to lose the race.

The future is long, so we must seize the day.

But now she only felt that her body was sending her a signal of protest. Just as the doctor said, there was an upper limit to the speed of a horse girl. Endurance could be acquired through training, but speed was determined at birth.

This is why the pinnacle for ordinary Uma Musume is the G3 level event.

However, some horse racing girls can become legends and be remembered forever.

Regardless of the body's protests, even the endurance is almost gone. When there is only 1000 meters left to run, activating [The Way of Man: White Lightning] will cause an unprecedented consumption of endurance.

If in the past Barbatos only had to worry about the duration of his skills.

The situation now was that even his own endurance was insufficient. It didn't feel like running a few hundred meters at full speed, but more like running a long distance. This was how the field consumed his endurance. Now all he had left was his determination! He used his determination to keep running.

This was also what Barbatos had originally decided.

We can’t lose the Dream Cup like this!

The duration of [Lightfoot Boots·Glory of Justice] has long ended. Now Barbatos is just running with the help of inertia. It can be said that the acceleration skills used in reality are all accelerations that gradually weaken, rather than disappearing instantly.

So what she has to do now is to use other acceleration skills to stack and repeat the acceleration effect of [Boots of Lightness and Glory of Justice]!

turn on...

Even though his vision was beginning to blur out the road ahead, Barbatos still kept his eyes fixed on the finish line.

He used his numb head to calculate how to use skills, what skills to use to close the gap with the legends in front, and how to win this game.

But... the acceleration skill she had just activated was not activated.

There was no sign of acceleration in its own speed, and the lightning gradually began to fade from its bloody color and returned to its white form.

Even the duration of [Brute Charge] has ended, and her speed began to decrease again.

"how come?"

"Why can't I activate the skill?"

Barbatos didn't understand. In the past, she could activate the corresponding skills and start speeding up to catch up with others just by thinking about it.

Why can't I activate skill acceleration now?

Could it be the president's domain? Could this be one of the effects of the president's domain?

It's impossible. A domain is just a domain. From a human perspective, it is a state that one enters when the mind is highly concentrated.

There are various effects that can only be seen by Uma Girls who have opened a realm or are about to open a realm, because Uma Girls themselves are special.

There shouldn't be a situation where the guild leader cannot use his skills after opening the domain.

After continuous skill activation fails.

The system's voice rang in Barbatos' ears.

"Ding~ The host has no stamina and cannot activate skills."

No...stamina...

Is that so? In previous competitions, although she had experienced exhaustion after finishing a race, she never lacked endurance because most of the races were miles and short distances.

But now, under the consumption of [The Way of the Man: White Lightning], she is able to run now only by relying on her desire for victory and her roots to hold on.

Where is the stamina to activate skills?

It turns out that what is needed to activate skills is endurance, just like the blue bar in the game.

From now on, you can only rely on yourself!

"Rudolf crossed the finish line symbolically, surpassing second-placed Oguruma by two lengths, winning the Dream Cup for the second consecutive year!"

"Second place goes to Oguruma!"

"Third place goes to Maruzenski!"

"The fourth place goes to..."

"Ninth is Barbatos."

Chapter 183: Come again next time! (End of this volume)

Winter Dream Cup.

As all the horse racing girls crossed the finish line, the Japanese audience applauded.

For the Japanese audience at the scene and for those who are familiar with Uma Musume, it is absolutely undeniable that the Emperor won the Winter Dream Cup.

So even if Barbatos participated in the competition, even if Barbatos was very popular, they never wavered, even if some of them were fans of other horse girls or even Barbatos.

This is just like wearing more clothes when it's cold. It's a very common thing.

Moreover, this year's Winter Dream Cup is more exciting than previous Dream Cups. The strength shown by Barbatos is even stronger than before, and Ogurnitsa even showed the possibility of defeating the emperor at one point.

It was an absolutely wonderful game, so they naturally did not hesitate to give their applause to every horse racing lady present!

However, the Chinese audiences who had been cheering in unison at the beginning, and the fans who became fans after seeing Barbatos, found it difficult to accept this result for a while.

In their hearts, the undefeated Uma Musume and the invincible Barbatos actually fell here.

Not only did she not come in first, she didn't even beat any of the horse girls except the emperor, and ended up in last place.

Compared to the scene.

On the live broadcast interface of the Dream Cup.

Most of Barbatos' fans fell into silence, more or less unable to accept the fact that Barbatos was defeated.

It’s just like the time a few days ago when I insisted on the Internet that Barbatos could defeat the Emperor, and after arguing with others on the keyboard for a long time, I found out that I was the one who was wrong.

The entire barrage seemed to be cleared up.

……

In a room somewhere, a middle-aged man with an unshaven beard sat under his quilt with wine bottles placed around him, staring blankly at the results displayed on the screen, unable to come back to his senses for a long time.

"The last one?"

"Last place? Haha, you boasted so much and you're only the last one?"

He repeated these words stupidly, wishing he could punch the computer screen in front of him.

"What the hell is Wind God?"

"She lost the game just like that? I bet a lot of money on her!"

As a sports competition, neither the Japanese government nor official agencies of other countries will set up horse racing betting.

But for this kind of thing, there will always be someone who runs it secretly to get people who want to bet on horses to participate, and Barbatos's odds in this competition are so high that he can even buy a villa directly by the sea.

How can this not make people excited?
