Uma Musume Pretty Derby: To The Basement Chapter 46 46: Uma Musume Pretty Derby: To The Basement [46]

"Mm-hmm~ This power feels amazing! I feel so good I could sing—I've never been this hyped before!"

[Misfortune Goddess (Beyond)] reveled in her unprecedented strength, confidence surging within her.

At full strength, she could obliterate an entire city.

Even the excess misfortune energy leaking from her began distorting the surroundings.

The once-clear sky darkened dramatically as storm clouds gathered, thunder rumbling ominously. Monts later, heavy rain began pouring down.

"It's raining heavily! Everyone, hurry inside!"

All the Uma Musu quickly fled indoors, afraid of getting soaked.

All, that is, except for one particular Uma Musu, who excitedly rushed out from the classroom as soon as she saw the rain.

But the mont she reached the open space, ready to enjoy the feeling of raindrops drenching her skin, sothing bizarre happened:

Not a single drop of rain landed on her body!

"Huh?" jiro Palr stood stunned. Why isn't the rain falling on ?

She moved around, but wherever she went, the rain avoided her, maintaining a one-ter radius dry circle around her, almost as if intentionally dodging her.

Even when she ran quickly, the raindrops predicted her movents, keeping her completely dry.

I've been rejected by the rain itself… jiro Palr's eyes dulled with disappointnt as she sadly trudged back inside.

"This is the [Misfortune Domain]," [Misfortune Goddess (Beyond)] explained to herself quietly.

"The overflowing misfortune creates an area of ever-increasing bad luck around . Those inside it are slowly corroded by misfortune, while my own strength continuously grows!"

"Ugh…" At the domain's center, isho Doto felt unbearable pain overwhelm her senses and collapsed unconscious on the cold ground.

The icy rain continued pouring over her body, draining away her warmth.

Under the corrosion of misfortune, her vitality quickly began to fade.

"Oh? Misfortune Goddess?" At that mont, irrational Mizuno finally noticed [Misfortune Goddess (Beyond)] nearby.

"Hehe~ I wanna do bad things! I'm going to thoroughly humiliate you!"

"Oh-ho? Let's see if you actually have the strength for that," [Misfortune Goddess (Beyond)] replied, accepting Mizuno's challenge and raising her slender fist.

"See this huge fist? It contains intense misfortune energy. Whoever gets hit will suffer extrely unlucky events."

"Watch carefully." [Misfortune Goddess (Beyond)] pointed to soone in the distance.

Mizuno looked over and saw a trainer with an afro hairstyle passing by.

Earlier, trainer Hiroshima Baoza had been training Konankai, but when the sudden rain arrived, he had to cut practice short, sending Konankai back to the dorm while he himself sought shelter near the classrooms.

[Misfortune Goddess (Beyond)] pointed toward Hiroshima Baoza and grinned at Mizuno. "Now, observe!"

Boom!

[Misfortune Goddess (Beyond)] punched the air toward Hiroshima Baoza.

The misfortune entered his body, causing a sudden chill.

"Ugh—why do I feel suddenly cold?"

A split second later, an unknown Uma Musu sprinted toward him at full speed.

"Sorry! Ergency coming through!"

Blinded by heavy rain, the Uma Musu tried her best to avoid others but failed to notice poor Hiroshima standing directly in her path.

By the ti he realized it, it was far too late.

Bang!

The impact sent him flying, spinning two and a half tis mid-air before crashing directly into a trash bin.

"Huh? Did I bump into soone?" The unknown Uma Musu glanced around briefly. Seeing no one, she shrugged it off.

"Oh well, gotta hurry! Trainer-san's waiting for our date~" she quickly dashed away.

Misfortune Goddess laughed triumphantly.

"Hahaha! Do you see my power now? Just one casual punch from can knock soone senseless! Are you scared yet?"

Irrational Mizuno trembled dramatically. "Terrified."

"Hahaha! I knew you wouldn't be scared!" [Misfortune Goddess (Beyond)] nodded smugly, interpreting Mizuno's trembling as sarcasm, convinced he wasn't actually afraid.

Therefore, determined to defeat Mizuno decisively, she unleashed her ultimate attack.

"I know your greatest fear—being jumped by Uma Musu! Especially by Tokai Teio…"

"So, I've specially modified each of my punches with a unique curse just for you! Every punch that hits you guarantees one thing: You'll get jumped hard by an Uma Musu!"

"Get hit once, random Uma Musu jump. Twice, Tokai Teio herself jumps you. Any more than that, and you'll spend the rest of your life trapped in the basent!"

"Surprise attack!"

Abandoning honor, [Misfortune Goddess (Beyond)] threw a swift punch while irrational Mizuno was still unprepared.

But Mizuno effortlessly tilted his body slightly, evading the attack.

"Oh? Dodged that, did you? But can you handle the second punch?"

This ti, Mizuno simply twisted his waist, again evading.

"Third punch! Fourth punch!"

"Muda Muda Muda—!" A barrage of misfortune-charged punches rained down furiously, yet irrational Mizuno gracefully weaved through them all, dodging every strike perfectly.

"That's… impossible!" [Misfortune Goddess (Beyond)] shouted in disbelief.

Wasn't Mizuno supposed to be completely drunk and senseless right now?

How could he still perfectly avoid every strike?

"Masaka—!" [Misfortune Goddess (Beyond)] suddenly realized sothing.

"Could this be the legendary martial art? [Drunken Fist]?!"

Observing Mizuno's stumbling yet strangely graceful evasions, she was certain of it.

Mizuno Sora had mastered the [Drunken Fist]!

"Heh, as expected from my greatest rival! You've learned such an extraordinary technique!" Misfortune Goddess's admiration for Mizuno increased further.

Yet a doubt lingered in her mind:

Why hadn't Luck warned her that Mizuno knew [Drunken Fist]? Why had Luck insisted she fight him when he was drunk instead?

"Uhh… Maybe Luck didn't know either?" Misfortune Goddess guessed.

Currently, the situation was a stalemate:

[Misfortune Goddess (Beyond)] couldn't land a hit on irrational Mizuno, and Mizuno had no apparent thod to dispel the Goddess's powers.

However…

"My most respected rival…" [Misfortune Goddess (Beyond)] spoke seriously.

"Previously, you said I didn't understand the value of comrades. I accept that criticism—I really didn't back then."

"But now, I have an ally. Guess who?"

"Who?" Seeing irrational Mizuno's confused expression, Misfortune Goddess smirked.

"It's the one controlling your [Doctor's Outfit]—your precious system! Luck herself!"

[Misfortune Goddess (Beyond)] dramatically pointed to a beautiful woman's phantom floating near Mizuno and shouted triumphantly:

"Now, Luck! Quickly remove his [Doctor's Outfit]! Once you do, he'll imdiately get jumped by dozens of Uma Musu, and you'll finally see the amusent you've been craving!"
