Chapter 335

Gorilla VS Bear [Part 1]

“Whoops!”

George dodged the king’s heavy slash.

“Hmm? Hey, you can’t just dodge, George-kun. Parry my attacks with your sword head-on.”

The king chased after the evading George while laughing. He didn’t soften his subsequent blows and continued to swing his sword vigorously at George.

“No, no, Your Majesty! Woah! My thin katana can’t take on that longsword, I’m tellin’ you!”

‘I can’t let the new katana I painstakingly got in Imperial Japan break on such an occasion.’ George thought while barely avoiding the next coming attack. ‘In the first place, I got too carried away and ended up ordering a reverse-blade katana [1]. That’s why if I fail to counter His Majesty’s sword properly, I will put myself in danger.’

[TN 1: A katana with the cutting edge on the inward curve facing the owner and its blunt side on the outward curve facing the opponent]

“*gulp* Woah... His Majesty has completely gone crazy.”

William, who had no confidence in his physical ability, peeked at the scene while hiding behind a tree to guarantee his own safety.

Splattered in monsters’ blood more than anyone else present, the king was doing whatever he liked.

“*sob* *sniff* EMMAAA!”

Even if George’s strength was on par with a gorilla, the opponent was the king. Not only were counterattacks not forgiven, but he also had to keep dodging the king’s attacks while checking whether there were any strange moves from the knight and hunters at the same time.

The attacks of the king, who was supposed to always be busy with government affairs, were unbelievably heavy but abnormally fast.

“George nii-sama is a gorilla, but what’s up with His Majesty being as strong as a bear despite being His Majesty...”

In this situation, William could only watch on from the trees’ shadows. ‘I have to at least guarantee my own safety and lessen the burden on my brother.’

Things would be better if George had Violet ride on his head, but unfortunately, the cat and the insect were protecting Emma right now.

*boom!*

“Woah”

The big tree the king cut down fell towards George.

George wouldn’t actually die if he was hit by a big tree, but unluckily, the foothold in the forest was bad. George’s feet got stuck in what most likely be a tree’s root and got stopped in place, unable to move.

“Nii-sama, dodge!”

For George, who had been narrowly dodging the attacks until now, to be unable to move was tantamount to giving the opponent a good opening.

The king raised his longsword as if to say this would be the finishing blow.

And George, who had lost his balance, didn’t seem like he would be able to dodge it.
