Chapter 4276 The Durable and Changing Hairy Troll!

Without stopping, Cibana immediately shouted:

"Then comes the sonic boom!"

Clearly, he wanted to replicate the sonic boom from the sandstorm before it ended!

The desert dragonfly opened its mouth, its chest bulged, and the terrifying sound waves began to gather once again.

Mary didn't back down either, raising her hand to give orders:

"Use flattery!"

The hairy troll raised its head, grinned, and suddenly revealed a rather obsequious expression.

It clapped its hands at the desert dragonfly in the air, then gave a thumbs-up and deliberately shook it.

Despite being the one to make the second move, the hairy troll was able to move faster.

Trait: Mischievous Heart, activated!

All of the Longhaired Troll's transformation moves will gain a +1 priority effect!

"Long hair, long hair~!"

The long-haired troll was still clapping wildly with that fawning and flattering expression, his exaggerated movements making people angry just watching.

The desert dragonfly, which was gathering sonic booms, visibly blinked after being praised like this.

Believe it or not, it actually worked!

"Shaao——!!"

The desert dragonfly roared, unleashing a full-blown sandstorm sonic boom!

A deafening roar—!

The terrifying sound waves transformed into visible shockwaves, engulfing the last remaining dust on the field.

The yellowish-brown sand grains gathered together, like a sandstorm bombarded to its limit, with a more terrifying force than before!

Of course, with this move, the sandstorm in the arena was completely dissipated, and visibility became clear again.

The sandstorm is over!

However, this terrifying sandstorm and sonic boom missed the hairy troll.

Boom!

The shockwave struck a few meters away from it, blasting large cracks in the ground and sending sand and gravel flying everywhere.

In mid-air, the Desert Dragonfly swayed, its body glowing with an amplifying red light, its Special Attack boosted.

Of course, his eyes also became unfocused, and he fell into a state of confusion!

Mary, of course, wouldn't let this opportunity slip by, and immediately launched an attack:

"Now! Soul Impact!"

"Mohe!!"

The hairy troll abandoned its fawning smile and instead revealed a sinister grin, pressing its thick arm forward from a distance.

In the next instant, several pink streaks of light shot out rapidly!

Whoosh whoosh whoosh—!

The streaks of light bombarded the desert dragonfly in mid-air, causing the fairy-attribute energy to explode and form a cloud of pink smoke.

The effect is outstanding!

"Shaao.!"

The desert dragonfly shuddered, its already shaky flight completely disrupted, and its entire body began to fall.

A weakening blue light shone around it; Soul Impact, the signature move of this hairy troll, would also reduce the target's special attack ability.

This negates the effect of the previous praise.

Cibanar frowned, and could only forcefully give the order:

"Use hot air!"

This kind of area-of-effect (AoE) attack has nothing to do with confusion.

Although the desert dragonfly couldn't tell which way to go, it still forced itself to flap its wings after hearing the sound.

Whoosh! Whoosh!

A scorching hot wind swept across the entire venue in an instant, and a wave of intense heat pressed down from the sky, causing the ground to shimmer with a distorted heat.

Unfortunately, the sandstorm has ended.

If the sandstorm were still ongoing, this move could also carry sand and dust, transforming into the sandstorm combat tactic that Qibana excels at, increasing its range and destructive power to another level.

"Moheng."

A hot wind blew in their face, but the hairy troll did not flinch.

It stood still, its thick, dark purple fur billowing wildly in the heat.

The previously set-up light wall remained effective, reducing the power of the hot air.

In addition, during her training on the Isle of Armor, Mary focused on improving the long-haired troll's durability and the combos between various transformation moves.

A little bit of hot air, no big problem.

"One more time, Soul Impact!"

The long-haired troll even swung its hand forward again, sending several pink streaks of light shooting through the air towards the desert dragonfly, which hadn't yet regained its footing. Whoosh! Boom!

The fairy-attribute energy hit one after another, exploding into clusters of pink explosions in mid-air.

"Shaao.!"

The desert dragonfly let out a low cry of pain, its body finally giving way, and it plummeted straight down from the sky.

Boom-!

It landed heavily, but it did not become unable to fight.

The dragon claws braced themselves against the ground as it struggled to stand up again.

Having just taken two powerful soul strikes in succession, he already had many wounds on his body, and his breathing had become heavy.

However, the fall to the ground jolted it awake.

With his eyes refocused, the confusion finally subsided.

Ciban scratched his head vigorously and gave a dry laugh:

"I really got tricked."

As a straightforward trainer, he is least adept at dealing with these fancy, changeable moves.

His tone then turned serious:

"In that case, an earthquake!!"

The desert dragonfly immediately stomped heavily on the ground!

The site is no longer the mudflat created by the iron-clawed lobster.

Rumble—!!

The tremor spread rapidly along the ground, causing the hairy troll's feet to shake violently and its body to lose its balance.

Mary reacted quickly and immediately said:

"Reflective wall!"

The long-haired troll gritted his teeth and raised his hand, erecting another semi-transparent physical barrier in front of him.

The reflective wall unfolds, immediately reducing the impact of the earthquake.

Cibaner didn't stop, immediately launching a second offensive:

"Sonic blast!!"

The desert dragonfly opens its mouth and inflates its chest to its maximum size.

Boom boom boom——! !

The translucent sonic boom shockwave pierced straight through, striking the hairy troll head-on.

"Moheng!"

The hairy troll crossed its arms in front of it, its feet leaving tracks on the ground, and its thick, long hair was shaken into a mess.

However, after being weakened by two soul impacts, the power of the sonic boom was no longer as shocking as it had been at the beginning.

With the long-haired troll's defensive capabilities, it even managed to withstand the attack!

"Mohe!"

It let out a low growl, and then slammed its palm forward again.

Soul shock!

Amidst the translucent sonic boom, several pink streaks of light shot out against the airflow, forcefully piercing through the aftershocks of the sound wave and heading straight for the Desert Dragonfly!

Whoosh! Boom! Boom!

The light struck again, and the fairy-attribute energy surged and exploded around the desert dragonfly.

Almost simultaneously, both ends of the field were engulfed in the sound of explosions!

In the front row of the stands, Ash and Yuji both unconsciously sat up straight.

This round should have a winner by now, right?

A moment later, the smoke and dust slowly dissipated.

The long-haired troll still stood in front of Mary.

Its thick, long fur was all messed up, as if it had been blown back and forth by a strong wind several times, making it look quite disheveled.

Meanwhile, at the other end, the desert dragonfly in front of Chibana had already fallen to the ground.

Its head was tilted to one side, its eyes darted around, and its diamond-shaped wings drooped limply.

After taking several highly effective Soul Impacts in succession, it finally couldn't take it anymore.

The Rotom drone immediately landed, and after inspection, announced loudly:

"The Desert Dragonfly has lost its fighting ability!" (End of Chapter)
