Time passed bit by bit, and the Slime King’s HP quickly dropped below half. However, it didn’t go down quietly—within a short time, more than a hundred Knight players had already been killed. Only a few ranged mages were sporadically tossing fireballs, while the low-level players simply acted as cannon fodder!

On the other hand, the members of Blake seemed to have noticed the BOSS’s condition, so they launched a fierce assault in one go, directly sending the outer Knight players back to the city!

In an instant, white light flashed repeatedly, and in the blink of an eye, there were fewer than fifty Knight players left!

Seeing that the situation was hopeless, Ryan Knight shouted angrily in frustration, “Brothers, let’s retreat for now!”

The Knight players scattered like birds and beasts, but the Blake members clearly didn’t intend to let them go. In just a few moves, they were cut down, and even Ryan Knight was sent back to the city by Chris Knight’s axe!

As a result, a few minutes later, there wasn’t a single Knight player left in the jungle, and the entire area was taken over by Blake!

After a round of fierce fighting, about 60 members of Blake remained, but half of them were now red-named. If they died, they would lose a level!

However, with such a powerful BOSS like the Golden Slime King right in front of them, there was no reason to let it go. So Blake Knight gave the order: “Surround it, kill the BOSS!”

I still didn’t leave, quietly waiting.

Volume One: The Comeback Chapter 11 Emily Carter

Fireballs whistled through the air, striking the Golden Slime King with a “puff, puff” sound. The BOSS’s HP dropped rapidly, and Blake was clearly a team with excellent coordination. Several heavily armored berserkers took turns tanking the Slime King’s attacks, swapping out to drink potions in rotation!

However, early-game players’ equipment was still lacking. Many people were only wearing a pair of white boots or some rough leggings. It was rare to see anyone with more than 20 defense, so even though Blake emphasized teamwork, melee players were still being instantly killed by the Golden Slime King one after another.

Moreover, the BOSS’s poison attacks had a splash effect, greatly increasing their lethality. Many Blake players were killed instantly before they could even get close!

But the fact remained that the BOSS’s HP was steadily decreasing.

Seeing the BOSS’s health bar about to hit bottom, I couldn’t help but struggle internally—should I rush out to snatch the loot, or just watch as they take down the BOSS that was originally mine?

To be honest, the Blake members didn’t seem to have that vicious aura. You could feel the camaraderie between their teammates, definitely not a ragtag group like Knight, so I actually had a pretty good impression of Blake.

Still, even so, they had indirectly stolen my BOSS…

Just as I was hesitating, a sudden change occurred!

“Roar roar!”

With a thunderous roar, the Slime King suddenly burst into brilliant golden light before falling, its body swelling to nearly twice its original size!

Immediately, Blake Knight cried out in shock, “Careful! This BOSS seems to have mutated!”

Chris Knight cursed, “How unlucky—our first BOSS and it mutates!”

Before he could finish, the Golden Slime King let out a furious roar, and a wave of golden light surged outward like a tide. With a “whoosh,” it formed a fierce shockwave attack!

“Crack crack crack…”

Amidst a series of sounds, the entire group of Blake players was hit by the shockwave. Almost everyone had 200 points of damage pop up above their heads! Those with low HP were instantly killed, and even the tankiest players lost about a third of their health!

But it wasn’t over yet. With another roar from the Golden Slime King, a second wave of golden shockwaves swept out!

Blake Knight was shocked and speechless: “Damn! We’ve hit a brick wall!”

Chris Knight was also helpless: “If it’s not meant to be, don’t force it. I told you stealing bosses was wrong…”

“Damn…”

With two miserable groans, both Blake Knight and Chris Knight were instantly killed!

What followed was a one-sided massacre. After the fourth wave from the Golden Slime King, all the Blake members had been wiped out. But the Slime King seemed to be having a blast, unleashing a fifth wave, a sixth wave… and so on, until I lost count of how many waves there were…

However, I had plenty of patience and just waited quietly. The big tree I was hiding behind shielded me from all the damage, so even though I was only a short distance from the Golden Slime King, I was perfectly safe!

In the distance, a large group of players watched this super BOSS rampage from afar, but not a single one dared approach. Even a top team like Blake had been wiped out—how could casual players stand a chance?

After nearly ten minutes, the BOSS finally stopped roaring, and the golden light covering its body suddenly dimmed!

Probably because I was so close, I actually received a battle notification!

“Ding~!”

Battle prompt: The Golden Slime King’s berserk state has ended and it has entered a weakened state, defense reduced by 50%!

……

I was overjoyed—this was my chance! After the climax comes the weakness; now is the time to take its life!

Without hesitation, I leapt out from the jungle. The Glimmer Battle Axe swung down from above, and with a “squelch,” a huge bloody gash was opened on the Slime King’s head!

“346!”
