Clang!
Grahm's sword struck the invisible sword that was about to pierce the Grand Magus's throat.
Sparks flew everywhere caused by the collision.
"Urghh! I don't have enough strength? What's with this force?! It feels like a Barbarian King is holding it."
Grahm was shocked by the force behind that invisible blade! He even thought that an invisible Barbarian King is holding it. He almost failed to stop it!
Thankfully, he already prepared himself in case he was really unable to block the blade. The moment he felt the unstoppable force coming from it, he didn't hesitate to use his Magic Artifact…
It was his bracelet and is capable of producing binding chains!
He normally uses it to capture weakened people since it doesn't have a strong sealing ability. It can only restrict movement but not the mana flow of his target.
Nevertheless, he will have more chance of capturing or destroying this invisible blade if he bound it with his artifact!
"Now!"
Clink. Clink. Clink…
As he was about to get thrown away by the force behind that blade, black chains suddenly started appearing from his bracelet and wrapped around the invisible sword!
Then, Grahm used his weight and his movement technique to trap the sword down and cut off its connection to the Paragon!
"You'll. Stay. Here.!"
Grahm used all his might to pressure the sword as it tried to come out of its bindings.
At this point, many people had noticed his strange battle against the invisible. As soon as the binding chains had appeared, they realized what Grahm was doing!
He was suppressing something that they can't see!
"Help Sir Grahm!"
"I'm coming!"
The two Grand Knights, who no longer had an opponent after the two Celestials succeeded in throwing out the two Paragons, decided to help Grahm in his battle against the invisible…
They only looked at the Celestials with gratitude and immediately used their Flame Dash and Earth Shifting Movement technique.
As soon as they arrived near Grahm, they immediately felt the source of the problem. Even if they can't see it, they can now feel it after it was bound by the chains.
"An invisible blade?" One of them asked in surprise. An invisible item that can emit this powerful aura is definitely not simple.
It wouldn't be surprising if it was actually a legendary-grade weapon!
"Help me sever the connection it has with the Twin Blade Master! Quick!" Grahm shouted as he looked at his two companions…
***
In the watchtower not too far from the eastern side of the wall, a veiled woman can be seen on top of it and observing Grahm's actions.
"It's already settled. It's a good thing that we have a Grand Knight with that Mystic Eye." The woman said as she held the communication crystal near her mouth.
The person on the other side of the crystal heaved a sigh of relief after hearing this.
"Thank you, Yulia."
The connection with the communication crystal was then cut off as their conversation ended.
That's right, the one who first noticed the problem with Twin Blade Master's third sword was Yulia. Thanks to her Darkness Mystic Eye, she was able to sense the concealed blade floating not too far from the Paragon.
Ever since she noticed that problem on that side of the wall, her Mystic Eye has remained active and monitoring their situation.
"It's up Rem and others…" Yulia muttered under her breath as she looked at Rem in the distance.
The two Celestial Beings who had dared to attack the paragons were Celestial Rem and Celestial Number 778.
The other Celestials remained on standby and waiting for the appearance of other Celestial Beings. There's already a report that 10 Celestials were working with the Paragons so they have to be patient.

In the meantime, while this is all happening, a very unassuming shadow swiftly entered the Nidite City without being detected by any Formation Arts or Magicians in the surrounding area.
This shadow started moving swiftly and passing through various buildings.
It seems to be searching for something. It lasted for almost half an hour and the battle outside has already reached a critical stage.
Numerous magicians, knights, and martial artists have sacrificed their lives. The Celestials have also started showing up as the battle intensified…
Nevertheless, all of this is unimportant to the shadow as it started to head toward the Mage Tower after failing to find what it was looking for.
"Hmmm?" Yulia suddenly noticed something off.
Her Darkness Mystic Eye doesn't just allow her to use various magical abilities but it also allows her to be sensitive to various things, especially those that have the power of concealment, darkness, and light.
She was observing the 10 unusual Celestial Beings that were working for the Paragons when her eyes caught a glimpse of a fast-moving shadow…
At first, she thought that there was just a bird in the sky flying above the city and monitoring them. Brycen has a similar ability so she wouldn't be too surprised about it.
However, after spending a few moments searching for its origin, she realized that the shadow itself was behaving in a very suspicious manner.
'There's no source of shadow… It's a living shadow!' Yulia didn't doubt her guess.
There are many things in this world that she wasn't aware of so it wouldn't be surprising if there is a living shadow or the ability to control the shadow itself.
With this in mind, she immediately contacted someone to ask Ignacy about it. After all, she can't think of anyone who can be knowledgeable enough.
Luckily, she didn't have to wait for long before a reply was sent back to her.
She was told that it was possible that the shadow was related to the Alliance Head! According to Shane and Ignacy, the Alliance Head had a strange ability that is related to shadow.
No one knows exactly what kind of ability it was since even the two had only heard rumors and haven't seen it before.
'Since we're fighting against the Paragons, then it's not surprising that the Alliance Head had also made its move… However, why is it lurking around? It feels like it's searching for something…' Yulia thought for a moment.
Then, her eyes lit up after a few seconds as she finally had a guess.
She immediately informed a few people to switch in her position as she decided to act herself… Normal Grand Magus or Grand Knights may have trouble dealing with this shadow…
"Let's see if Vincent's Magic Tool is effective against it…" Yulia softly muttered as she followed the shadow that was approaching the Mage Tower.
