Claimed And Marked By Her Stepbrother Mates - Chapter 170

Chapter 170: 170-Too Many Victories

Helanie:

“I am ready for my attack,” Lamar yelled, holding his herb tightly in his hand. Penn was making sure that neither he nor Lamar stayed too far from me. I was sure they were worried that if I were alone and the Frogster attacked, I would get hurt. But that was exactly what I wanted to change. I didn’t want to be dependent on anyone. They had their own test to pass; they shouldn’t be babysitting me.

“Got it,” Penn said, giving him a thumbs up, and I nodded in agreement. I thought facing the Frogster would be terrifying, but it wasn’t that scary at all.

I watched Lamar throw the herb he brought at the Frogster, but it only made the creature go crazy. The Frogster barely moved, and we knew in that moment it had failed.

We jumped around, trying to confuse the Frogster enough that it wouldn’t focus on just one of us. I could hear shouts and screams outside the cage—some cheering for us, others filled with worry.

“Penn! Give me your herb!” I yelled, extending my arm toward him. He handed me the Blighthorn herb. I had read about it—it causes brain freeze.

I took his herb and mine, placing them in my palms and began to crush them.

I could feel the powder forming and mixing in my hands.

Lamar and Penn were doing their best to distract the Frogster while I was busy planning our attack.

“Okay, listen, get it to face you two,” I shouted, noticing Kaye reaching the cage and anxiously holding onto the bars. He wasn’t even being subtle about it.

“Helanie, are you sure?” Lamar hesitated to let me take the lead because he was worried about what I might do.

“I’ll be fine!” I yelled in reassurance.

Lamar and Penn raised their arms to get its attention, and they didn’t have to do much. The Frogster turned toward them, ready to throw its sticky tongue out.

I ran to the back of the Frogster and positioned myself perfectly to attack it at the moment it was most distracted.

Everyone gasped as I climbed onto the back of the Frogster, confusing it with my unexpected move.

“What are you doing?” Lamar yelled in concern.

“Don’t worry about me! I have the herb with me. Just cross him and get to the key!” I yelled, making sure they knew what I was trying to do.

Penn and Gavin sprinted toward the exit while I climbed onto the Frogster, reaching its head, and placed the herb in its eyes.

The minute the herbs touched its eyes, the Frogster lost its mind. I jumped and landed on the ground, watching the Frogster throw its tongue in all directions.

“Come on, Helanie!” Penn and Lamar yelled in unison, their hands extended toward me. I crawled under the giant frog’s feet, making sure it didn’t stomp on me. I had to roll, stop, and even jump while crossing in front of it. It couldn’t see for a while, but that’s when it started using its limbs and tongue to hit anything it could find.

I bolted toward the exit door and reached the two, giving them both my hands. They pulled me out, making me the first one to leave the cage, and they followed right behind me. Once Penn shut the door, Lamar screamed as he checked the timer.

“We still have 7 minutes to spare!”

“What?” I asked in shock, looking around to see everyone’s reaction. They were all in shock but still cheering for us.

It was indeed a huge success for us. I saw Kaye smile at us, showing his clear favoritism. But why not? We were the first team to pass the test so well—no injuries to any of us.

“What the hell are those two doing?” the moment Lamar’s eyes fell on Sydney’s cage, we all turned our attention to them. And it’s safe to say that the two girls had surely lost their minds.

The sight before us was not only terrifying but the results were going to be extremely hilarious in a painful way.

“Is that…?” Penn asked Lamar as we walked past their cage to reach the front, where Kaye was. Even Kaye was staring at Sydney and Salem with such shock that I knew the result was going to be a disaster.

“Yep!” Lamar nodded. “The two idiots brought the Flame of Lust.” Lamar commented, making me remember I had seen this herb crushed in a bottle when I was working in Maximus’ garage.

Oh shit! Why would they bring the Flame of Lust?

And not only that, I guess before anyone could warn them—or their own partner could see what they were doing—the two were already busy throwing the herb for the Frogster to sniff.

“No, you fucking morons!” Hans yelled, but it was too late. The Frogster sniffed a handful of Flame of Lust, and its entire body froze for two seconds.

“Shit, what’s going to happen next?” I turned to Penn as we reached the front, watching the others perform.

“They’re not going to die, as long as they—save themselves, because the Frogster is going to fall in love with these two now,” Penn used a much more censored version as he mentioned the effects of the Flame of Lust.

“In short, Froggy is going to be full of lust now, and these two are the ones to blame for it,” Lamar commented, causing Kaye to slap his forehead and gesture to the warriors to quickly come for help.

“Run!” Sydney yelled to Salem, still not understanding that they had messed up.

As they ran, the Frogster extended its tongue, but instead of hitting them, it curled it around Sydney.

“Huh?” Sydney yelled.

Salem stopped running to watch the Frogster pull Sydney closer to itself, almost like it was trying to hug her.

“What the fuck is he doing?” Sydney yelled as she got covered in the Frogster’s saliva.

“Ew,” was all I could say. Well, that’s what they get for being overconfident.
