Keep firing at him!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The players shouted and scattered like a pack of sly wolves.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They dodged Imsh’s attacks while simultaneously taking every opportunity to focus their fire on him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In that moment, players threw control spells as if they were free, resounding gunfire of steam guns echoed, and arrows imbued with skill glows continuously shot at Imsh and other Half-Beasts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Vines emerged from the earth, entangling Imsh’s legs, while ice magic spread up his arms, freezing half his body…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet, these spells could only slightly impede Lionheart King Imsh.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He still rampaged through the players like a humanoid cannonball, roaring as he charged and crashed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even though they persistently disrupted him with control spells, even though players rode on mounts to evade him, none of the players he targeted survived more than five seconds.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Imsh’s burst of speed and power far exceeded the players’ expectations!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This Half-Beast king was in a bloodthirsty frenzy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even Imsh himself didn’t know how many elves he had slaughtered; he had only one thought in mind, to kill all the long-eared ones chasing him and take the rest of his people home!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His armor, already destroyed after his Bimong mount’s death and being chased by Rose, left him bare.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bullets fell on him repeatedly, and arrows struck his flesh one after another.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In no time, his body was covered with the players’ arrows.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, these arrows only pierced the shallowest layers of his skin, incapable of causing effective harm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But they made him look even more menacing and terrifying…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was drenched in blood, expression fierce, like a demon god from hell!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Perhaps for realism, “Elf Kingdom” did not display NPC health bars under non-story conditions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thus, the players had no way of knowing how to gauge his status.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Still, Imsh’s continuous slaughter gradually unnerved the players.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This Half-Beast was like a human-shaped beast of prey!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whoever he locked eyes with was as good as dead…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet, the players noticed that over time, the Half-Beast’s speed was gradually decreasing…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although not obvious, it was definitely slowing down!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover, in the beginning, when he targeted a player, he could reach them instantly and beat them to death.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But now, after so much fighting, his pursuit of players was slowing down…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Additionally, sharp-eyed players noticed this Half-Beast BOSS was starting to breathe heavier.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His complexion appeared strangely flushed and pale.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“His condition is deteriorating! We can take him down!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yes, his speed has slowed down!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Players shouted excitedly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In an instant, the elves regained their momentum.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet, compared to the increasingly confident players, watching the growing number of long-eared ones around him, Imsh felt increasingly despondent…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was a Gold Professional.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He possessed immense strength.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even while injured, these numerous long-eared ones were still no match for him!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However… they still had too many numbers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover… they seemed to have some way to call for reinforcements.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These pesky long-eared ones, like flies, kept multiplying not long after the fight began.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As a high-level professional, he could still hold on, but the other Half-Beasts were not as fortunate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After fighting for so long…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had no one left by his side now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Half-Beasts who had followed him had all died in battle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And he… was all alone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In that moment, this Half-Beast king, his towering figure appearing somewhat desolate and forlorn…\u003C\u002Fp>",1077,"2026-06-03T12:38:19.555Z","2026-06-03T12:38:27.252Z",1,"novelbin.me","5d82671605ffb9a264bee057a7a214ecdf046e35ec3122df47a9dace07bc5c6b","elf-kingdom-game-of-the-world-tree-chapter-265","elf-kingdom-game-of-the-world-tree-chapter-263",1431,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Felf-kingdom-game-of-the-world-tree-cover.jpg"]
