Uma Musume, do I have to tell you that I know how to use the Santa Hat special move?

The girl struggled to withstand the pressure and move forward, but no matter how hard she tried, she could not escape the heavy shackles.

The raindrops falling from the sky instantly turned into giant wolves in her eyes, sweeping across the entire stadium with devastating force.

Every runner who tried to move forward was completely knocked over by the huge wave and pushed mercilessly into the abyss.

Even though he had burned everything he had in this competition, the physical and mental strength that Dongshang Transformation used to support his steps were repeatedly worn out at this moment until they were completely dissipated.

At this moment, Stardust Illusion is no longer the horse girl who was in a stalemate with Tosho Reform at the Yayoi event.

Whether in terms of physical strength, skills, or the mysterious fighting spirit and domain, she is completely different from herself at that time.

This terrifying speed of improvement, which was remarkable even after only three days of absence, was the real reason why Rudolf and the noble families were optimistic about her, and also...

Stardust Illusion is a horse girl, and it is a cruel fact that forces one opponent after another to despair of her.

As an opponent to Dongshang Reform, whose current state is so bad that it cannot even open its domain, Stardust Illusion does not even need to try to break through or explode. It is enough to just follow the routine and exert its normal strength!

“Ahhhhh——!”

Gnashing teeth, crying and wailing.

There has never been a time when Dongshang Transformation hated his legs as much as it does now.

The opponent was clearly within reach, and the match schedule was clearly halfway through, but she——

I can’t catch up! There is no way I can catch up!!!

The silhouette of the stardust illusion not only did not get closer, but it was getting farther and farther away from him...!

(Saber... have you already...!)

I can't believe this fact, I don't want to accept this fact...

Are I and Stardust Illusion no longer runners at the same level?

Is it really impossible to win?!

Yadda, yadda!

This kind of thing is absolutely unacceptable. The so-called magic is to never accept the facts that you are unwilling to accept.

I must chase after her. I cannot let her leave me behind like this... I am Saber’s mortal enemy——!

Domain, I order you to come out! ! ! !

Saber... Saber...

“Saber ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!”

The power of magic burst out from his blood, and Dong Shangbian's wide-open eyes were filled with bloodshot.

The originally purple eyes reflected the light of the crystal at this moment, illusory and ethereal, as if it was just a thin film that could break at any time even if you didn't touch it.

But, you have to touch it.

Without the domain, there is absolutely no way I can defeat the Stardust Illusion...

Without a domain, you will become a loser!

Must succeed, must succeed to open up the field again——

Suddenly, a deafening dragon roar sounded from the void, and even huge snowflakes seemed to begin falling from the sky.

(Here it comes… my territory is here!)

Dong Shang Bianzhi immediately noticed this abnormality that only horse girls can see, and his whole body began to tremble. This was exactly the abnormality that would be caused by his excitement reaching its peak!

Snow and Wind Glaze, the element that makes up the crystal realm of Dongshang's transformation, has it finally begun to descend? !

(I haven’t lost yet. I know I haven’t lost yet! Magical Girl Sweepy will never lose!!)

I just entered the final turn. I will win...

Magic will win!

——Field, activate it right now!!!

The storm swept across the stadium at this moment. The illusory snowflakes falling from the sky were swept up by the strong wind and turned into the sharpest ice knives that attacked all runners. Even Dongshang Reform was not immune.

Everything in front of me was blurred between the storm and the blizzard, accompanied by a sudden roar that exploded in my ears.

Dong Shang Bianzhi only felt that he was suddenly in a vast expanse of ice and snow, and there was no trace of any opponent around him.

(Flap your shining crystal wings and lead me to the decisive battle with Saber with that brilliance...!)

Calling in his heart for the giant dragon representing the domain to descend, Dong Shang Bian's eyes suddenly focused.

Saber, I haven't lost yet... The domain has been activated, I'm going to catch up...!

The opponent who can defeat you is me, the magical girl Sweepy...

Suddenly, his eyes widened in surprise.

Her mind was completely frozen at this moment.

This was not because Dong Shang had completely lost her strength, but because she suddenly realized that something was wrong for no reason.

A deep chill suddenly arose from the bottom of my heart, and my whole body began to tremble without any sign of stopping.

It was as if... this world was rejecting her call from the root.

A sense of presence so strong that it almost suffocates people begins to take shape in the snowstorm right in front of them.

This is... I'm afraid?

There was disbelief in Dong Shang Bian's eyes, and he looked down at his own hands.

At some point, she found that her limbs were completely covered and frozen by ice and snow...

The horse girl who called herself a magical girl, Dongsho Kaigen, raised her head and looked ahead blankly following this sense of existence.

Her eyes passed through the snow and wind in front of her, looking towards the infinitely distant horizon. Gradually, her vision became clear, and she finally saw the source of that suffocating sense of existence...

Three towering icicles stood out in the wind and snow. The left and right two of them had broken, leaving only some debris at the roots still evident of their existence.

As for the icicle in the middle, I just glanced at it...

Six huge red eyes suddenly lit up from the icicle, and their eyes were full of tyranny and destruction.

It is far away in the sky, yet seems to be right in front of you, emitting a sharp murderous aura like a thousand knives piercing the heart, indicating that once it is released, the horrific consequences will be like destroying the world.

This is……

This is……!

Dongshang Reform opened his mouth in confusion.

She already understood the current situation, but she was unwilling to understand it...

This piece of heaven and earth was undoubtedly a sign that the domain was unfolding, and it was the area where Uma Musume would descend only when she broke through her limits.

But, it wasn't her.

Dong Shang, who had gone through several changes, had made everything clear. At this moment, this world was not a sign that he was about to open up his own territory.

All those random thoughts I had just had were completely nonsense. Facing the back of the Stardust Illusion that had already rushed into the final bend, I could only be lost in the vision she evoked as I am now.

failure.

This concept suddenly jumped into Dongshang Transformation's mind.

She shook her head fiercely, trying to drive this terrible thought out of her head, but no matter how hard she tried, it was like a thorn in the tarsal bone, nailing it there, making it impossible for Dongshang Reform to escape...

The witch wants to reject reality, but cannot reject her own thoughts!

I can’t lose… How can I lose…!

In her mind, she could no longer imagine herself defeating the stardust illusion.

The illogical monster proved with ironclad facts that she was no longer a runner that he could catch up with.

Dongshang is changing. No matter how much we resist, we can't do more at this moment.

He couldn't even break free from the illusion of ice and snow before his eyes, and could only watch the frost gradually spread from his hands and feet upwards.

Until, covering her whole body...

Chapter 289 (Gal 41) (8k) The Emperor is your only one!

[The third corner has passed! Stardust Illusion still maintains the leading position. Dongshang Transformation tries to catch up, but the distance is not shortened. Stardust Illusion still maintains the distance! ]

[Audience, the Stardust Illusion running in the front has entered the final corner. The game is about to enter the final round. The final climax of the game is about to come. Who can stop the Stardust Illusion from escaping... Eh?! ]

Seeing that the Dongshang Reform, which had just shown some signs of improvement, also failed in its pursuit, the host sighed inwardly, and then enthusiastically began to introduce the current situation of the game.

However, just as she was looking at the runners at the front of the field and preparing to explain the current situation to each of them, she suddenly realized that something was wrong with the entire track hidden by the rain.

There was a sudden agitation among the large group of horse racing girls at the back, and the agitation spread quickly. One by one the runners began to change their pace, and many even began to fall behind the team.

Then a scarlet flame shadow suddenly rushed out from the heavy encirclement, broke through all obstacles, and chased after the people in the front echelon.

Before anyone could react, in the blink of an eye, the figure had passed the slowed-down Narita Hakuhito and arrived behind the Sky Shrine.

The host didn't even realize what was happening. Seeing this unusual scene, she was almost speechless with shock. Fortunately, she had excellent professional qualities and subconsciously started shouting:

[Emperor, emperor, emperor! It’s the Emperor of the East China Sea! The Emperor of the East China Sea is coming! The Emperor of the East China Sea is catching up!!!]

[What a fast pace! Her figure was like a flash of lightning. She had been unknown since the beginning of the game, hiding in the 14th and 15th positions to accumulate strength. Finally, she broke out of the brutal encirclement at this moment and chased after them at a speed beyond everyone's imagination!!!]

[This is the fighting method that the Emperor of the East Sea had demonstrated in the previous Wakaba Tournament, which is to use the central running method and then launch a terrifying last kick like this! ! ! She has caught up! She is almost on par with the Sky Shrine! Will it succeed, will it succeed——! ]

Stunned, the Sky God Palace looked at the petite girl approaching him.

Feeling the terrifying air waves rising from the East China Sea Emperor's body, the Sky Palace seemed to be in a sea of ​​fire.

No matter where she was, there was blazing flames everywhere, completely enveloping her...

No, this is an illusion caused by the opening of the domain...!

In astonishment, the Sky Palace suddenly perked up, and the environment in front of it instantly turned into a stadium under the rain again.

There was no time to worry about anything else. Gritting his teeth, the Aerial Palace suddenly increased its speed and moved forward.

How on earth had the King of the East Sea managed to catch up with her without her knowing? And why was her running style so different from before?

No matter how much data they collected, the Sky Palace was simply unable to think of the correct answer.

I can’t understand, I can’t calculate, I can’t analyze!

Then don’t think about it.

The Sky Palace, which never blindly placed its hopes on theoretical analysis, instantly abandoned the option of understanding.

Since I can't understand the current state of the Emperor of the East China Sea, I might as well fight with her.

Now that we are ready to enter the final corner, we must try to fight for the possibility of victory here no matter what -

With water droplets all over his face, the Sky God Palace gasped for breath and cleared all distracting thoughts from his mind. With a ferocious look on his face, he forced his body to fully exert the effect of "that" he had taken before the game.

He stepped down suddenly, splashing water all over the ground. The footsteps of the East China Sea Emperor beside him roared like a series of explosions, and the air was torn apart violently, as if even the sound barrier was broken at this moment.

(Don’t think about her, don’t think about anything else… If you can’t find a weakness, use these feet to create one!!!)

The moment she reached the third bend, the horse racing girl adjusted her state completely and began to stride forward with all her might!

“Ahhhhh——!”

Her whole body was stretched to the limit with screams and roars, and a wonderful rhythm was generated from her feet.

Energy was born from every cell in the body. The Sky Palace could feel it. After the speed increased, it immediately narrowed the gap between itself and the Dongshang Reform in front.

But... there is no way to get rid of the Emperor of the East China Sea!

Then, the host's voice echoed over the arena:

[Stardust Illusion successfully entered the final corner. Dongshang Transformation seemed to be a little exhausted and began to slow down! ]

[Next is the Sky Palace! The Sky Palace contestant is on par with the East Sea Emperor who just broke out! The two of them are starting to speed up for the final sprint! Not just to surpass the East Merchants Transformation! Their goal is to be at the front, the Stardust Illusion!!!]

[Is this okay? Is this speed okay? ? ]

The bean-sized raindrops were directly smashed into pieces by the runners running past at high speed, and the ground made a mournful sound under the feet of the runners' legs as if it had completely broken apart.

Every step forward seemed to be trampling directly on the hearts of all the contestants. Stardust Illusion's eyes were blank, and he stared at the front of the track and continued to move forward.
