Quick Transmigrating Second Female Lead's Counterattack Chapter 266

To be prepared against all eventualities, he had kept back his final skill. Originally, it should have been able to easily subdue XunMi, but he never expected the result would make him crack.

“Someone come, bring me a bomb. No one is allowed to get away. Keep the corpses.”

Knowing that he really couldn't deal with XunMi, Andrew tactfully retreated and let the troops advance.

The strength in his body was rapidly declining. How could this be? He definitely should have been able to maintain it for a day.

Damn it! It was certainly that mermaid's doing.

Andrew's hatred for XunMi rose once again. Wait until he had taken her body's power, not even her bones would be left.

August boarded his mecha and launched a counterattack against the army.

Even though the team that had been trained through Andrew's research was strong, it was not enough to go against August.

In this small open space, the fiery colors continued until the next morning, and then gradually receded.

Injured limbs and broken arms, scattered iron sheets {from the mecha, presumably}, fallen men, and the redness dying the sandy beach only increased.

Andrew watched as the people he brought were so vulnerable that they couldn't even beat one August, and the hatred in his heart grew stronger.

The expression on his face was very grave and alarmed. How could August's abilities rise so quickly?

As long as he hadn't had the latest data, he had previously had full confidence in bringing a whole regiment.

Even if they couldn't bring August down, they should have been able to stall him.

But now the facts told him that he could only rely on himself.

XunMi spilled all the golden light into the sea, and the ocean was restored to as it was before.

When the sun appeared on the horizon, the shining surface of the sea gleamed a beautiful gold.

The azure blue water was silently telling of its light and joy.

XunMi closed her eyes and felt the gentle warmth of the sea breeze brushing across her cheeks. Her heart immediately felt brighter.

This was the ocean where she'd stayed for hundreds of years. How much laughing and frolicking had she done here?

How could she be willing to let it be lost from her own hands, the ocean, the vast ocean, eternally beautiful.

Andrew once again mounted a sneak attack against XunMi. He noticed that August wasn't paying attention to her side for the time being, and decided to go all out.

He quietly approached XunMi, the red light in his hand flourishing, and again shot at XunMi.

She watched as it approached, and slowly wrapped around her. Andrew drew back the corners of his mouth, but before he let could let out a laugh, his face froze.

The red light dispersed, revealing the person still standing intact.

At this moment there was a look of satisfaction on her face, as if she liked the power just now.

Andrew was panic-stricken. How could this be? He had just fought with the power of three generations of Emperors of the Sea, yet hadn't caused any harm to her. How could it be?

XunMi licked her lips, and the dry lips instantly became moist and beautiful.

She played with a mini sapling in her hand, the emerald green color wrapped in a layer of light red light.

It was easy to deduce what had cut off the power just now. Andrew looked up in anger and his blood pressure sharply rose.

“What, President Andrew is panicking? When doing all this, have you never thought that one day you would have to pay a price for it?”

XunMi put away the sapling in her hand and walked across the water's surface as though she were on dry land.

Andrew finally realized this time that he was defeated, and had no room to turn it around.

No, it can't be like this. He had been on the cusp of success, but had failed at the last step. He was not willing, ah!

That's right. He still had those things. They would surely get him out of this predicament.

He prepared to start the secret summoning, but was once again interrupted by XunMi's voice.

“Are you thinking about those disgusting giant bugs? I'm really sorry, but those things have already been exterminated by my family's August.”

Her indifferent words hit Andrew's heart like a clap of thunder.

For a moment, the surroundings were as silent as a cicada in cold weather. Only the sound of the wind blowing could be heard.

“At first I also didn't expect it. I only just now finally connected all the things I had doubts about before. It can be assumed that you smuggled those bugs over as your final helpers. Maybe those bugs are of a high rank within the bug clan. The bug clan are long-lived. As long as they're not killed, it's basically unlikely they'll die. Do you want to become a bug, or do you want to transplant the bug genes?”

August had already finished up with the troops. When XunMi came over, he shielded her in his arms.

He inspected her up and down several times until he felt reassured.

Andrew was deathly pale. His escape routes had all been cut off.

The abilities in his body were rapidly decreasing. Just standing firmly right now brought him to his limit.

“Hahahahaha! Who'd have thought, after thousands of years of planning, I would actually be defeated by a little baby like you. Or the deep sea mermaids I most despise. Ridiculous.”

Andrew looked up and laughed heartily. He wanted to complain. Why did mermaids, this species that was neither human nor beast, have such formidable abilities?

And God's beloved humans, they must be weak chickens.

Therefore, since as long as he could remember, he was determined to make himself stronger and stronger, become superpowered.

He'd succeeded, hadn't he? If he hadn't make an assessment error halfway through, and had seen the mermaids' strength clearly, he definitely would not have failed.

“I can't live anyway. In that case, you all will be buried with me.”

His face revealed madness, and as his body began to swell more and more, his expression became more and more distorted.

“Not good, he's going to self-detonate. You guys quickly leave.” Anson, who had been acting like he was invisible, naturally had been paying special attention to Andrew.

When he discovered his plan, he was scared out of his wits. This old fool was truly hateful.

He rushed forward, firmly grabbed Andrew, and dragged him back towards the woods behind them.

Even if he was going to die, he would never allow him to hurt another innocent person, especially her.

He didn't know when she had entered his heart.

August hugged XunMi to him as he quickly retreated, climbing into his mecha.

He knew what it meant for an S-level person to explode. Even himself as a 3S level person might not be able to protect himself.

Moreover, within a radius of a hundred li,[1] including a city, would be reduced to ashes. He didn't dare to gamble, especially where Mi'er was concerned.

He was grateful for Anson's actions.

He would only be thankful because he knew why he was doing this, but he would never tell Mi'er that another person had once liked her.

He was selfish. He would never let anyone compete for her gaze.

Bang! Bang! Brrmmmbrrmm… The explosion continued to echo. Dust and soil splashed onto the mecha's viewing window.

The grass and trees turned to dust, and a huge deep pit in the middle was still burning with a raging inferno.

The was no longer even a trace of the grove that had been there. All that remained was a bald spot.

Even though August had quickly controlled the mecha to jump into the air, one arm was still blown off.

[1] 100 li is equivalent to about 31 miles, or 50 km.

Well, that was anti-climactic. What was the purpose of the bugs? The mecha? XunMi's crystal ball? These questions and more will not be answered in the final chapter.
