On the way back to Starry Night Academy from outside the kingdom, Xia Zuode kept staring at the shadow demon in the red light orb.

He was not afraid that the other party would slip away, but that the shadow demon would be scorched by the beam energy field full of fire energy.

This trip was supposed to eliminate this shadow demon, but who knew that it actually held Ellin's life gate in its hand.

Xia and Zuo had to temporarily change their action plan and instead captured the Shadow Demon alive.

Due to the sudden incident, Dim did not carry any sealing items.

Xia Zuo had no choice but to hold the red light orb all the way to maintain the high temperature inside the orb, keeping the Shadow Demon in a dying state.

As midnight approached, the sky outside the airship's port window was pitch black, with several dark clouds covering the bright moon and starlight. The earth bid farewell to the white-as-snow moonlight and fell into the embrace of darkness.

"Dim, hey, this shadow demon wants to cause trouble." Xia Zuo looked at the shadow demon in the red light orb and laughed mockingly, "It treats us like novices who have never seen a strange demon. "

Dim sat in the driver's seat, chewing carrots to refresh himself, and turned his head to look at the scene in the orb.

The shadow demon seemed to be about to completely dissipate. Its body changed from a pitch-black mass to a gray mist, giving people the illusion that it could no longer support it.

Dim smiled disdainfully, "Stupid shadow demon. Midnight is the time when shadow energy is most active. But it looks so weak. It obviously wants to take advantage of you to relax your vigilance and launch a sneak attack."

Xia Zuo nodded in agreement, but a few seconds later, he frowned slightly and said:

"Oh, this shadow demon is real. I can feel that it is letting my fire energy erode its body, as if it is looking for death."

Dim sat up straight, leaned sideways to observe the orb, his eyes fixed on the increasingly pale gray figure in the bead, with a trace of anger on his face, "It's threatening us! This damn cunning thing is using Al Lin’s true memories and the rest of her life threaten us!”

So far, Xia and Zuo have not received any news from Beatrice about the deterioration of Irene's condition.

This shows that this shadow demon has not destroyed the monster cubs and erased Ellin's true memory, otherwise Ellin will definitely fall into a state of insanity.

Shadow Demon has sinister intentions and knows that the monster cub is his trump card, and Ellin is the person the academy mage wants to protect, so... this guy hid the monster cub, and now he is using his own life to force Xia Zuo weakens the fire attribute energy in the orb.

Xia Zuo looked at the gray shadow in the orb that was so dim that it was about to disappear. He raised his head and looked at Dim, and they both saw the helplessness in the other's eyes.

"Hey, it feels so uncomfortable to be led by a strange demon." Xia Zuo slightly weakened his energy output.

Shadow Demon's figure has stabilized and is no longer transparent, but it is not getting better either.

"It's waiting for an opportunity." Dim said firmly, "It's waiting for you to further weaken the energy..."

Dim looked up at the sky, looking through the porthole to the dark clouds, "It is now 11:55 at night. In 5 minutes, the surge of shadow energy will reach its peak. By then, it will definitely make new moves. This is its last chance."

"We have to be prepared," Xia Zuo said.

"That's right!" Dim hammered his palm, "We can't let it escape. Although I don't think it can break through your seal, I still want to do something..."

Dim stood up, walked into the rear cargo hold, and took out a square metal box.

This thing has been transformed through enchantment and has a hardness of up to 80 levels. It is generally used to escort fragile valuables.

Xia Zuo put the orb into a metal box and used the box as a second line of defense. Then he and Dim built a third line of defense - an ice shell with 200 power points and a hardness of 110.

Including the orb, there are three lines of defense, and even the Cube Shadow Demon at its peak has to weigh it.

When the preparations were completed, the time happened to be midnight.

There was darkness between heaven and earth, and the light of the alchemical lamps in the airship seemed to be weakened, unable to illuminate the scene outside the window.

"Dong Dong." Two muffled sounds came from the metal box under the ice shell.

Xia Zuo's face turned a little pale.

Just now, his blood volume dropped by one-third. The reason was that the energy consumption of the beam ability field increased sharply. In order to fill the energy gap, he was forced to spend a lot of blood to strengthen the beam ability field.

"What's wrong? Are you okay?" Dim patted Xia Zuo on the shoulder.

"It's okay. Well, this bastard almost broke through my seal. Fortunately, I injected energy in time." Xia Zuo wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and used a few blood packs to raise the blood line.

"Dong dong." There were two more muffled sounds, but the sound was much weaker than the last time.

Dim knocked on the ice shell in retaliation, "Be honest! It's almost midnight and you're finished!"

Dim was right. As time passed, the surge of shadow energy quickly calmed down. The two attacks just now only deducted one-fifth of Xia Zuo's health.

There was a brief silence in the cabin, and a hoarse voice sounded in Xia Zuo's mind:

"Let's... come... make a... deal..."

"Did you hear that, Dim?" Xia Zuo frowned, "The Shadow Demon is talking to me."

Dim nodded solemnly, "I heard it too. The damn psychic ability is so pervasive that it actually penetrated our seal."

Dim was experienced, and he immediately took out a gramophone with a large speaker from his alchemy pocket.

He placed the gramophone on the ice shell, inserted the magic disk containing the music, and turned up the volume of the speaker...

"Ah~ the sun~ the brilliant sunshine fills the earth~ ah~ the sun~ the magnificent light is boundless~" The sonorous tenor made Xia Zuo's eardrums numb.

"Dim! What kind of song is this!" Xia Zuo shouted, covering his ears.

"'Praise the Sun'!" Dim opened his arms and made a hugging gesture, shouting, "Don't you think it's very appropriate to use this song to resist the surge of shadow demons and shadow energy!"

Xia Zuo's mouth twitched, "Okay! It makes sense!"

He listened carefully, and there was a whispering voice in the singing. The high-pitched singing voice made it difficult to hear the whispering.

"It does work!" Xia Zuo laughed.

"No! It's not enough!" Dim turned up the volume of the speaker again.

"Ah~Sun~~~~" The voice from the speaker was deafening, completely covering up Shadow Demon's thoughts.

Xia Zuo and Dim looked at each other and smiled.

The singing in the cabin rang over and over again and did not stop until about 2 o'clock in the morning.

After lifting the ice shell and opening the metal box, Xia Zuo took out the orb from the box.

In the orb, the furious Shadow Demon was provoking with all his teeth and claws.

"It seemed to be angry," Xia Zuo said.

"Hey." Dim patted the gramophone, "Then let's entertain it."

"Hehe~" Xia Zuo laughed mischievously, put the orb in the metal box again, and then put the gramophone in it as well.

"Ah~Sun~" The song praising the sun sounded again, this time it was played in a metal box, close to the orb.

Xia Zuo closed the metal box, and the singing weakened a lot, but for the shadow demon in the box, the closed space made the singing even louder~
