240 The Kings Challenge (2/2)
”No, that's a whole separate matter.” Darian whispered back. ”That's yours as a Lord, regardless of whether we win this Challenge. The Speckled Highlands is part of the region with Three Pines and Dragon Lake. We do NOT want to challenge for Dragon Lake.”
”I thought we were going for the region with Kara-Goth in it.” Mindy added.
”There's no need. The Star Wolf King will take care of that. But we still need a valid kingship, and that's the region where we've already taken three Lords down. That means, less Challengers for us to face.”
”There's still five Challengers, though.”
”Only because we're humans. Better five than eight.”

The lizard lord moved first.
[The Flame Salamander Lord was my friend…!] he hissed. [You will pay for his suffering!!]
”Actually, he didn't suffer very long.” Remian tried to explain.
Unfortunately, that only seemed to trigger the lizard's aggression. With a hissed command, three Lord Challenger reptiles leapt out at Remian's group.
There was no time to plan, no time to get into formation or any such thing. In an instant, a toothy lizard was jumping toward Mindy, a red-striped one was lashing a tail at Tim, and an oversized toad filled with boils flicked its tongue out at Remian.
”Ice kitchen sink!” Remian instantly unleashed his special move, and a big chunk of ice slammed down on the frog from above. Seeing it pinned down, at least for now, Remian instantly got to work saving Mindy. ”Giant Left Shoe of Ice!”
BAM! A huge ice boot slammed down on the lizard before it could lay a single talon on Mindy.
”Uh…” Mindy paused, her hand on her sword's hilt, still not drawn yet. ”Thanks, I guess? But what about Tim?”
Remian glanced at Tim artfully dodging the lizard's tail repeatedly. ”Huh. I've already used the sink and the left shoe…”
”So?” Mindy prompted.
She had a point, he realized. Remian focused on the lizard attacking Tim. ”Giant Right Shoe of Ice!”
BOOM! Another ice boot hammered down on the lizard chasing Tim.
The Lizard King Challenger stared at Remian. [Release them! Release them at once!]
”Oh? You actually care about them? Are they relatives?” Remian blinked. ”Well, then…”
He raised the left boot off the lizard previously after Mindy.
Instantly, the lizard snarled and leapt to the attack.
”Left shoe!” Remian barked.
POW! The ice boot descended with blinding speed. This time it fell with at least twice the speed and force of the previous time.
”Phuark!” the lizard was flattened underneath the boot.
[How DARE you! I will have your heads for this! Your whole family will..]
”Threatening me, now?” Remian glanced at the other lizard and said, ”Right shoe!”

The ice boot over the lizard after Tim rose up and even more swiftly crashed down again.
”Uuwaaaakkk…” the lizard after Tim went splat.
[YOUUUU!!!!] the Lizard King Challenger roared.
Remian wasn't done. ”Left shoe!”
BAM! ”Pheeeeek…”
”Right shoe!”
POW! ”Gufuooo…”
”Left!”
BOOM! ”Ugmuuu….”
”Right!”
Crash! ”Bhueeek…”
”Left! Right! Left! Right! Left! Right! Center!!”
This time, even the frog got squished. [Whyyy?! It's not fair…!]
It really wasn't. The ones on the left and right had so many stomps, while the center only had two. So…
”Center! Center, center, center, center, center…”
[DIEEE!!!] the Lizard King Challenger couldn't hold back any more and charged in to attack directly.
