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

Then, it exploded!

Countless scarlet feathers of light fell from the sky and transformed into phantom particles in mid-air, which gathered around the Emperor of the East China Sea as if being pulled by something.

In the still world of transparent blankness, the sound of blazing flames became more and more intense, and something that was being nurtured was about to come out -

Everything on the field involuntarily tilted towards the direction of the Emperor of the East China Sea.

At this moment, everyone noticed that the girl's winning suit began to glow red!

The flames floating in the right eye all rose up at the same time, and then the girl who was ignited by the flames exploded instantly. With her as the center, endless blue flames spread out and burned everything, completely engulfing the entire arena!

What on earth happened? A real flame actually ignited on my body? !

The Emperor of the East China Sea only felt that this victory dress seemed to have responded to his call. The raging flames swept through the sky and poured down the raindrops. The next second, the clothes on her body had been changed into that scarlet phoenix dress!

boom.

One after another, the Phoenix warriors returning from hell stepped out in flames, and the invisible and heavy pressure field instantly enveloped all the players in the entire arena.

[Inherent skill...I will definitely win, activated.]

Even the Stardust Illusion at the front felt difficulty breathing at this moment, and its steps felt as heavy as if they were filled with lead water.

(This is... the third power, the emperor's final trump card!)

This presence that absolutely cannot be ignored is sharp and full of malice, so depressing that it makes people sick.

Then the emperor took a step forward.

In the midst of this erupting blue flame spiral, the girl's body was uncontrollably emitting a vicious aura in all directions. This manic attitude was like a brand deeply engraved in the hearts of all the contestants... and then it completely exploded!!!

Stardust, your nemesis is the emperor, and only the emperor.

(Let this victory prove it...)

"The Emperor is your only one, ahh ...

--------

Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, the cheers from the audience gradually died down, and everyone in turn craned their necks, stared wide-eyed, and held their breath, for fear of missing even a single moment of the most exciting game.

Whether you are an expert or a newbie, just standing here you can clearly sense one thing: the real highlight moment is coming!

Cutting through the rain, a sign marked [3F] flashed before Stardust Illusion's eyes, which meant that only the last 600 meters of the race were left.

There are only a few final turns left, followed by a 150m uphill final straight track.

The long-awaited Emperor of the East China Sea, at that moment, burst out with such arrogance that everyone was astonished. With the enhanced perception after special training, Stardust Illusion could clearly feel the situation on the field.

Almost at the same time when the Emperor of the East China Sea exploded, everything seemed to gather around the girl behind him, and bowed down to her.

This powerful aura and the burning gaze that was so sharp that it almost pierced into the vest made Stardust Illusion very sure that the opponent's target was him.

““The Emperor is your only one! !””

The whistling gale brought the shouts from behind clearly, and the gap between herself and the emperor behind her was shortening with every second.

The Emperor of the East China Sea knew very well in his heart that at this point both he and the Stardust Illusion were reaching their limits.

However, those who cannot surpass their limits are not qualified to stand on this field, let alone call themselves each other's only rivals.

Therefore, you have to keep running and use your strong legs to defeat the opponent.

If you can't surpass, then open your mouth and bite. If you can't bite, then raise your legs and trample. Use all your will and all your fighting spirit... to collide with the opponent and don't let Stardust have any chance to breathe!

The gap has been narrowed to only one horse length left!

The scorching red light had already penetrated into the vision of the stardust illusion. The power of the phoenix became more and more intense, turning into a tornado of flames that gradually swallowed him up.

The girl slowly raised her head, and the high-frequency dancing flames in her blue eyes were a symbol of her fighting spirit.

The expression that was so ferocious that it almost tore the skin off his face was an expression of hysteria.

Speed ​​up! Speed ​​up! Burn your soul to speed up!

This is the only thing the Emperor of the East China Sea can do at this moment, and it is also her determination to gamble everything on a real battle with the Stardust Illusion!

Its unstoppable momentum and full-fire posture made it invincible. Even the domain that the Stardust Illusion had just expanded with the help of Holy Night was wiped out in an instant, leaving no possibility of any resistance at all.

but……

It was just Holy Night.

The speed at which the Emperor of the East China Sea burst forth at this moment was indeed the strongest opponent that Stardust Illusion had ever seen.

Unlike the Stardust Illusion that possessed a system, the Emperor of the East China Sea... this girl relied entirely on her supreme talent and strong fighting spirit to unleash three inherent skills in this arena, and even broke through herself and evolved into a completely new posture.

If it were a month ago, even if the Stardust Illusion had unleashed its final stage of strength, it would probably not be a match for the current emperor.

but--

(Great, Emperor... I will probably never forget you as my rival for the rest of my life.)

The Stardust Illusion narrowed his eyes slightly as he looked forward, and his originally rapid breathing was adjusted at this moment.

The effect of continuously using the special training mask over the past half month was also reflected at this moment.

Even though it had been running away in the heavy horse field for nearly 2 minutes, Stardust Illusion did not show much signs of fatigue thanks to several skills to restore its physical strength.

This also means that she still has enough physical strength to show her strength in the last three waves of the race.

For the first time, Stardust Illusion took advantage of the arc of the final bend and turned its head slightly to look at the Emperor of the East China Sea behind it.

When she looked back, the emperor, who was almost losing consciousness from running for his life, met her eyes.

Would the pair of eyes that looked at him show surprise, or was it the same fighting spirit that had been burned to the extreme as his own?

The Emperor of the East China Sea couldn't help but look forward to seeing the other party's expression through the Stardust Illusion's eyes.

At this moment, I have already used all my strength, surpassed the peak, and presented this kind of running in front of Xingchen, responding to her expectations of me...

After a moment, she saw those eyes clearly.

Her thoughts suddenly froze after this, a pause that she couldn't understand.

On the face of the Stardust Illusion, the Emperor of the East China Sea could only see the confident smile that was revealed.

Are you welcoming my arrival?

……

It's not like this.

This is a compliment to the Emperor of the East China Sea who has caught up, and a consolation reward from the victor to the challenger.

(Good run, thank you for your hard work.)

Although he did not speak, the Emperor of the East China Sea understood the meaning from the girl's running.

Then, the Emperor of the East China Sea was stunned in disbelief.

How could I feel such thoughts from Stardust?

He had clearly already deployed a field that completely suppressed her, and was clearly catching up step by step, almost on par with Stardust, starting the final and strongest side-by-side decisive battle.

Why does Xingchen still look so relaxed at this moment?

Being an emperor, doesn’t that give you inescapable pressure?

(Absolutely... unacceptable.)

Gnashing his teeth, the East China Sea Emperor's extremely ferocious face showed only his obsession to surpass his opponent.

Faster! I can run even faster!!!

Now she is no longer able to think systematically.

Want to surpass, want to win!

He poured his whole heart and soul into his legs and feet, and with the purest intention he wanted to completely destroy the Stardust illusion so that she could understand his feelings -!

Break through her expectations, defeat her composure, you who cannot be defeated by anyone... let the emperor completely reverse the situation!!

Thus, the entire concentrated area was completely shrunk at this moment, and gathered on the body of the East China Sea Emperor, brewing the strongest move she could perform.

Every time I opened my mouth to breathe, I could feel the tearing pain in my lungs as if I had swallowed hot carbon. My brain swelled due to congestion. Even my ankles, which had run for a full 2000 meters, kept sending out warnings that they had reached their limit.

But... you must persevere!

The momentum rose again in the face of this determination, and the final half-length gap gradually narrowed.

The Emperor of the East China Sea, who was chasing from the outside, was almost keeping pace with the Stardust Illusion.

The possibility of victory and his own imagination of transcending the stardust illusion were outlined more and more clearly in his mind. The road to the future had been paved at the feet of the emperor.

--no.

At this moment, something happened.

At this moment, nothing happened.

"——!?"

Then, in the eyes of the East China Sea Emperor that were so sharp that they almost pierced the earth, the figure of his old enemy seemed to explode as if it turned into smoke and dust floating in the sky at this moment.

Then, he completely disappeared from her sight.

The East China Sea Emperor didn't even have time to show surprise on his face. The girl who had been watched throughout the entire game, the escape king who had tortured her opponent, disappeared from the field.

It's like a mirage in the mirror that disappears so easily.

It's not just the image of Stardust Illusion, her fighting spirit, her domain, everything about her, all appeared at this moment...

“——disappeared?!”

I accidentally only posted the second half of Chapter 289. It has been revised now. Please refresh the chapter if you have any questions.

By the way, I started to feel like I had the flu yesterday, and I felt groggy all day... I will insist on finishing writing this game, and then take 1-2 days off to rest and adjust my condition.

There is probably still one or two days left to finish writing about the competition. Well, let me tell you in advance.

Chapter 290 The Final Battle

[The final turn! At the final turn, Stardust Illusion still leads! Then it’s the Emperor of the East Sea! The Emperor of the East Sea rushes out from behind, and the two contestants begin the final battle! ]

[Now, the fierce competition of the neon derby has entered the final stage. The two runners who are still at the front are the Emperor of the East Sea and Stardust Illusion! Stardust Illusion is still ahead! Stardust Illusion! Stardust Illusion!!!]

[Is it the Emperor of the East Sea? Or is it a stardust illusion? ! ! The Emperor II and the Oguruma II, the final battle between these two runners at this moment, is like the two legends have arrived here! ! ! ! ]

The heavy rain at the Tokyo Racecourse has quietly retreated at this moment. In the face of the outburst of enthusiasm from 18 spectators, no matter how bad the weather was, it had to hide.

Good Opera, Northern Genku, Satomi Hikari, Rudolf Symbol, Maruzenski, Team Draco... all the spectators, whether they were horse girls or humans, were closely watching the event which had just been going on for less than 2 minutes.

The audience opened their mouths in ecstasy and forgot to close them. Their eyes were dry but they dared not blink for fear of missing any details.

The contestant running in a perfect arc in front of the final bend at this moment was Stardust Illusion, but the gap between her and the Emperor of the East China Sea beside her did not widen. The two were only half a horse's length apart.

Following closely behind them, several horse lengths away, were runners from Sky Palace, East Business Reform and other runners. At this moment, they were still entangled in a fight, but once they looked up at the two figures in front of them, these runners could not help but reveal obscure looks.

I want to catch up, I want to challenge them, I want to win the game, but... the more I want it, the more I can't move my legs!

[Sky Shrine! Sky Shrine has perfect control of the front position, and Dongshang Reform has no way to break through directly! After that, Leodban also broke out from the crowd of runners. Who else can challenge the front! ? ]

Who else can step forward to challenge?

Even though the host asked this question in accordance with the atmosphere, the answer was already infinitely clear.

No one could catch up. The two people fighting in the front had such a powerful aura that they could swallow mountains and rivers. The rising flames merged with the Fenglei Sect. If an outsider rashly stepped in, he would be crushed to pieces in an instant!

At this moment, Stardust Illusion, who is clearly facing the final battle, still does not show any signs of fatigue. This relaxed attitude makes people suspicious. Is this horse girl, who has been recognized as having a weakness in endurance since her debut, showing weakness to the enemy from the very beginning?

She certainly didn't show weakness to the enemy, but the tactic of taking the bait that she adopted from the very beginning of this match still had a significant effect even though she didn't persist to the end.

The opponents on the field all had more or less unnecessary thoughts when facing the Stardust Illusion that did not accelerate immediately in the early stages, and extra consumption of physical strength was almost inevitable under such circumstances.

As a result, Stardust Illusion is able to maintain a relatively strong state at the moment, all thanks to the miserable appearance of the other players.

But precisely because of this, the East China Sea Emperor was able to compete with the Stardust Illusion to such an extent, and the strength he displayed was almost unbelievable.
