Train Survival: You're really trying to survive!

Chapter 597 Fafnir

Ivan's takeoff was not smooth.

Seeing them leave, the surrounding bats went berserk, frantically attacking Ivan and his companions with their own bodies.

Sun Keke and Ivan lack wide-range, sustainable, and high-damage capabilities. Their previous roles in the team were, respectively, a support specializing in weakening bosses and a guardian specializing in defense.

Especially Sun Keke. Ordinary enemies, Su Li could simply unleash a single Eternal Calamity, and these enemies would not only cease to be a threat but would also continuously provide Su Li with life force and magical energy, becoming mobile life and magic power sources. Su Li would almost like to heal the enemies herself. Therefore, these small fry didn't require Sun Keke's intervention at all.

Only with a powerful target would Sun Keke have room to act.

She's the kind of character in the game who's practically invisible when you're just AFK and no one recommends her for beginners. But once a high-difficulty dungeon appears, even seasoned players can pull out a fully-equipped character from their inventory with control and defense reduction as her main stats.

Ivan, bracing himself against the shield, charged swiftly towards the designated direction with Sun Keke in tow. Countless bats struck the shield, creating a crackling sound.

But as they flew, more bats joined the attack, including many silver-level bats.

The addition of Silver-tier bats significantly increased Ivan's pressure. A hundred Iron-tier bats couldn't match the pressure of a single Silver-tier bat.

Seeing that the number of silver-level bats around them was increasing, Ivan couldn't help but say, "We can't continue like this!"

"We've been flying for a long time, but we haven't even seen a shadow of it."

The cave was too complicated; they repeatedly entered dead ends and had to turn back and fly again, wasting a lot of time.

"If this continues, my magical energy won't be able to hold up."

"Let's find a place first! I'll think of another way!"

Sun Keke squeezed out magical energy and released a ring of black mist around her.

Following Sun Keke's instructions, Ivan piloted the magic carpet and took the opportunity to reach a cave, where he smashed the ceiling. He buried them inside and then began digging rapidly, the two of them hiding underground.

They blocked off the top of the cave; since there was air sugar, they weren't afraid of suffocating.

Sun Keke picked up her jewelry box. "I'll do some ritual preparations to help me expand this cave."

"learn!"

Ivan quickly dug into the surrounding caves to create a space for Sun Keke.

Sun Keke then took out the manual, preparing to remotely trade some materials.

At that moment, she saw a plea for help from her older sister.

I wasn't there, so I don't know the situation. Could you send me some samples?

A short while later, my sister sent me some materials about the Demon Spider.

Sun Keke squatted down to examine the materials from these demonic spiders. "They have very strong curse power and are good materials for rituals."

Sun Keke kept typing words into the manual, offering advice to her older sister.

Knowing that her brother-in-law and sister were doing well, she felt relieved and began to arrange her ceremony.

She took out some spices and a prepared liquid, then chanted an incantation and cast a spell on the liquid mixed together in the jar.

As she chanted the incantation, the liquid in the jar began to shimmer with a purplish-black sheen, which looked ominous.

Sun Keke's incantation grew louder and louder before abruptly stopping.

Sun Keke cut her wrist, squeezed out some blood, and let it fall into the jar.

Then, the second incantation began, this time sounding like a witch singing softly, giving off an eerie feeling.

The whole process lasted for more than half an hour.

Finally, the spell ended, and Sun Keke put the jar away.

"Alright, now we just have to wait. In 10 hours, the ingredients will be ready. During this time, I'll be relying on you, honey!"

"no problem!"

Ivan readily agreed.

The two of them rested in this underground space.

The bats outside had disappeared and eventually calmed down.

Ten hours later, Sun Keke walked up to the jar.

Inside the jar, a purplish-black liquid, resembling a cloud of mist, flowed.

“I’ve already prepared the venue,” Ivan said at the opportune moment.

Sun Keke walked to the center of the field and stroked the ground.

The ground was flat and smooth. Ivan used forging techniques to dispel the cursed power contained in the area.

This is a very good approach. The worst thing about curses is that they are mixed together, as they can easily influence each other and achieve unexpected results.

Having spent a lot of time with Sun Keke, Ivan didn't know much about curses, but he was very experienced in how to cast curses on his wife.

"I love you to death!"

Sun Keke kissed Ivan on the cheek and then walked to the center of the field.

She reached into the jar and then smeared her hands on the ground.

As she applied the ink, a magic circle gradually took shape. With the final stroke completed, Sun Keke applied the marks to her body, from her heart to her collarbone, then across her cheeks, and finally to her brow.

Finally, Sun Keke placed 10 gold ingots in the very center of the magic circle.

With everything ready, Sun Keke lowered her head and began to chant softly.

"In the dark valley of the north,

A land where blood-stained gold lies buried!

I now call you by your true name, Fafnir—

Son of Haredmar, dragonborn from ancient terror!

As Sun Keke chanted, the magic circle on the ground emitted a blend of golden and dark light. The gold ingot at the center slowly melted, forming a pool of molten gold.

Sun Keke's chanting continues; she is reciting Fafnir's epic.

"The epic unfolds here, descending from my fairytale paradise."

"Come forth, Fafnir, the golden cursed dragon!"

With the final incantation, the jewelry box Sun Keke was holding suddenly opened, and a golden light shone into the center of the magic circle.

Then, the magic circle turned pitch black, transforming into a vortex leading to hell.

"hold head high!!!!"

A deafening roar of a dragon resounded from the center of the formation. Then, a ferocious black dragon head emerged from the formation.

When the dragon's tail was also pulled out of the formation, the formation completely lost its brilliance.

Ivan stared at the 10-meter-long dragon, his eyes gleaming.

That's a dragon! What boy could resist the temptation of riding one?

Sun Keke leaned weakly against Ivan's chest, her face filled with pride. "How about it? The mount I prepared for you."

"That's incredibly powerful, but where did this dragon come from? I get the feeling it's a bit... simple-minded?"

Su Keke chuckled, "Haha, of course, this dragon is a fake dragon created by my fairy tale magic. In reality, it is a curse that has been given a physical form, so it is naturally not as lively as a real living creature."

"I've spent a long time developing this spell, and it's consumed a lot of precious materials. This isn't the complete form yet. According to my idea, the complete form should be summoned using the train's altar, and it should be similar to a real dragon."

Ivan picked up Sun Keke and asked, "What abilities does it have?"

Sun Keke smiled mysteriously, "Get on it, and I'll explain everything to you."
