Chapter 148 - Smoke And Krepkiy (2/2)
He didn't try to run away because he'll just slip. Instead, Smoke clasped his hands together and smashed the floor. Queen fell on her side, and Smoke got on top of her. ”No touching!” Spikes made of ice appeared out from her skin. The ice penetrated Smoke's gambeson and pushed him towards the ceiling.
Queen crawled out the spikes, passing through it like a ghost. Smoke was trapped on the ceiling, being pushed by the spikes. ”Look at you,” Queen climbed back on her feet. ”You look just like the chandelier. Come on, show me your lightning. Let it bring light to this room.”
”Why are you not killing me?” Smoke asked.
”Huh?”
”I'm trapped. You could easily pierce me with an ice shard and be done with it.”
”I like to savor the moment. Besides, my ice didn't even penetrate your skin. Which means I have a lot more skin to peel off you.”
Smoke noticed her hand shivering, ”Or maybe you just can't move. You used up too much.”
Queen threw an ice shard, and it lodged itself next to Smoke's head. ”I have a lot more in me!”
”So does he.” Smoke nodded.
”What?” Suddenly, a cold metallic hand grabbed her t.h.i.g.h. She looked down and saw the Krepkiy defrosted and animated.
”I hope you're not made of rubber,” Smoke taunted.
The Krepkiy released a strong discharge that lit up the room. The heat shattered the ice pillars and burned the white canvases around them. And the energy from Krepkiy burst the walls open, opening the city horizon for Smoke to view. Then it stopped, leaving Queen unconscious while standing.
Smoke fell to the floor and caught Queen before she collapsed. Krepkiy crawled up Queen's body, stood on its cog head, and raised his hand for a high five. ”Good job Krepkiy,” Smoke slapped the metallic hand then carried Queen out the room.
Krepkiy crawled close behind him. Smoke trained hard to control his kas to use the lightning technique. But during his training, his warclub turned from the output rod he needed to release his energy to a separate entity. Pagasa theorizes that Smoke's attempts to create a connection between him and his weapon to conduct his mana safely caused an unforeseen side effect.

The mana spell he wrote in his body to control his mana was similar to the golem spell inscriptions inside them. And as a result, the arm reacted to the inscription as a golem. It puzzled them how when it lacked a power source such as a nucleus, but Smoke was essentially a battery. His electric currents can power the arm and even control it as if it was an extension of his body and mind. But Krepkiy still had a character of its own, and it viewed Smoke like a father.
Despite its little fingers, it can still keep up with Smoke's long strides. But then it suddenly stopped. It sensed something is coming towards them, something stronger than Queen. Terrifyingly by a large margin.
Krepkiy jumped on Smoke's shoulders and bonked him on the head. ”Ouch,” Smoke flinched, ”What was that for?” Krepkiy stood on Queen and pointed at the giant hole to the outside world. A goblin stood on the rumbles of the wall and glared at them. ”You have a lot of explaining to do, invader.”
