Uma Musume: From Being Knocked Ten Meters Away

Chapter 613 Coronation
The opponent beside him was not exhausted at all.

It was a... surging, thick, impenetrable black mist.

A strange and violent black aura swirled and surged like a living thing, like a shadow from the abyss, threatening to completely devour the surrounding light and even hope.

The black mist was not still, but rather spreading and expanding forward at a terrifying speed...

No.

It didn't spread.

The moment she looked over, the endless darkness completely engulfed her!

In the instant he was swallowed by the suffocating black mist, Satomi Hikari finally saw the even more terrifying true form of the "monster"...

Two scarlet dots.

Two pupils, like monsters, swaying violently and burning within the thick black fog!

The outline of those pupils was so familiar, yet at this moment it felt so strange that her blood almost froze.

They not only emitted a chilling, bone-chilling red light, but also contained something that seemed almost tangible...

murderous look?
A sense of oppression, indescribable and seemingly tinged with the metallic stench of iron, gripped her tightly in that instant.

Those monstrous, scarlet eyes... glanced over.

She... seemed to smile... in the black mist?
An absurd and terrifying thought popped into my head uncontrollably.

Satomi Hikari had absolutely no energy to confirm it.

In that instant, she felt all her strength, all her thoughts, and even the right to breathe were completely stripped away by those scarlet pupils.

Her limbs felt as if they were filled with cold lead; she felt so stiff that she couldn't move and had to rely almost on instinct to run.

And just then...

"Northern Black Steed! Northern Black Steed...it's in the lead again!!"

The commentator's roar was like a sharp blade cleaving through the stagnant air.

"Extremely tense! So incredibly tense! How can the Northern Black Steed still have the stamina, the ability, and the skill to unleash its power at a time like this?!"
"Satoshi Kozan is behind! Satomi Kozan is behind! Kita Genko is in the lead! Kita Genko has regained a half-length lead!!"
"100 meters!!"

"Arima Memorial's glory! The triumphant achievement of the Autumn Triple Crown! The birth of the King! It's all happening right now!!"

"The last 100 meters!!"

"50 meters!!"

……No--!!!
In the midst of extreme fear and panic, Satomi Hikari suddenly realized that a savage, crazy courage and determination, which came from nowhere, suddenly exploded out!

She suddenly broke free from the invisible restraints.

She abandoned all etiquette, technique, and warnings in running, and like a wounded and dying beast, she let out a piercing scream from deep within her throat:
"Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah--!!!"

She lost all her former elegance, composure, and strength.

She felt as if she had transformed into a desperate and crazed monster, launching a final, suicidal charge at the terrifying black mist monster beside her!

The world went blank in her eyes, her hearing failed, and all she could see was the black and gold figure in the center of her vision and the white finish line.

yes……

To defeat such a monster...

Then I myself... can only become a monster, can't I?!

This thought, like a final trumpet call, dispelled all hesitation and fear in my mind.

Satomi Hikari took a deep breath of scorching air, the smell of which seemed to carry the metallic taste of blood and rust, and it stung her throat and lungs.

"Ah ah ah ah ah--!!!"

She no longer suppressed it, letting a longer, more piercing battle cry burst forth from the deepest part of her chest!

This roar was no longer a brief outburst.

Instead, it turned into a continuous, almost manic roar, accompanied by every desperate stomp and swing of her arms!
The roar drained her last bit of strength as she frantically battled the intense, burning sensation of oxygen deprivation.

The edges of my vision were beginning to darken, and all I could hear was the roar of my own blood rushing through my ears and this desperate, all-or-nothing scream.

The muscle fibers groaned in despair, each stretch and contraction bringing a tearing pain, as if they were about to snap completely at any moment.

But she ignored it.

"Ah ah ah ah ah--!!!"

Speed ​​is everything!
Approaching!

We must get closer!

She surrendered herself completely to this primal impulse, leaving all skills and calculations behind.

Only this beastly body remained, driven by instinct and an unquenchable rage and resentment.

They launched their final, suicidal charge toward the all-consuming black mist, toward the finish line that seemed so close yet so far away.

My lungs are burning!
The muscles are groaning!
Consciousness teetered on the brink of dissipation! "Ahhh... Ugh...!"

The roar began to distort, mixed with cracking sounds and painful groans, yet it stubbornly continued, becoming her final battle song against the limits of her body.

And so, dragging his body, which was almost losing consciousness, and relying on the last breath he was holding on to, Hikaru Satomi managed to slow down with difficulty and stagger, and finally came to a complete stop.

She raised her head blankly, her heavy breathing making her vision blur.

The entire venue was completely silent.
The stands seemed to have been muted; there was almost no sound.

The eerie silence stunned her.

Then, she saw the black and gold figure not far away beside her.

The Northern Black Steed also stopped, tilting its head slightly as it gazed at the notice board in the distance.

Satomi Hikari paused for a moment, then subconsciously followed her gaze.

His eyes slowly widened.

At the very top of the huge notice board, a line of eye-catching text jumps out at you:

"Photo Judgment"

"Write...a real judgment?" she murmured unconsciously, her voice hoarse.

At that moment, the black and gold figure turned around.

Northern Black Horse wore a radiant smile on her face—a smile of extreme exhaustion mixed with relief that she had never seen before. Sweat clung to her black hair on her forehead and cheeks, and her breathing was equally rapid.

"Yes...yes...it seems...we crossed the finish line together, Little Diamond..."

Satomi Hikari was stunned again, staring blankly at Kita Genko.

In a daze, she felt that the childhood sweetheart in front of her was both familiar and unfamiliar.

It still has that energetic and cheerful profile.

But her eyes held a calm, composed, and gentle quality that she couldn't quite decipher at that moment.

She possessed an air of refinement, as if she had experienced something profound and matured. The woman before me…

It was as if they had never experienced the intense battles before, and it seemed like they had just run an ordinary practice session.

Hikari Satomi instinctively opened his mouth, only to find that he had no idea what to say at that moment.

Just then, the eerie silence in the stands was broken.

As if some kind of magic had been broken, a wave of astonished and incredulous clamor gradually spread.

Then it grew larger and larger, eventually merging into a boiling ocean.

For a moment, Hikari Satomi couldn't make out what the chaotic voices were saying.

She unconsciously turned her gaze back to the notice board and stared at it intently.

At the same time, she heard a surprised gasp from the Northern Black Steed beside her:

"They...were the same? This...this is truly..."

...Together? That is...

For a moment, Mitsuzumi didn't hear what Kita Genko said next.

The deafening cheers completely drowned out the entire stadium and drowned out all her hearing.

Through the clamor of the crowd, the commentator's roar, filled with hoarseness and fervor, resounded clearly throughout the Zhongshan stadium:

Gentlemen!
"Witness it!"

Rejoice!

"Worship!"

"At this final curtain, amidst the glittering stars, under the watchful eyes of all..."

"With undeniable resilience!"
"With a domineering mindset that runs through the entire process!"
"An unprecedented victory!"
"Great achievement! Triple crown in autumn!"
“The Emperor enjoys autumn!
“Japan Cup!

Arima Commemorative Edition!
"The three G1 titles are now all in his hands!"

"Following 'The Overlord of the End of the Century' Good Opera and 'The Hero of Greatness' Desert Hero, he is the third overlord in the history of the Shining Series to achieve such an immortal feat!"
"At this moment, history bows down at her feet!"

A new legend is forged here!

"New King, be crowned!"

"She is..."

"Northern Black Horse!!!"
