Chapter 90: The Swordmaster Who Guards the Garden

Lugh was looking at the patterns formed by the five-colored stones on the road when he suddenly heard the rumbling sound of water. He subconsciously looked up in the direction of the sound and saw a silver waterfall pouring out from the cliff of the green mountain, it landed on the cliff that was hundreds of feet high and splashed in all directions like pearls splashing on jade.

Seeing this beautiful scene, his first reaction was that the cliff in the Divine Monument Garden was really steep. There weren’t many trees, and he didn’t see a single Divine Monument. Then, his gaze followed the direction of the deep pool formed by the waterfall, he saw an extremely wide black stone platform in front of him. There was obviously a canal that had been dug by someone. The waterfall that poured down from the cliff flowed along the canal into the distance.

He followed the direction of the canal and saw that the water in the canal was incomparably clear. The white stones under it shone like pearls. Before long, he came to the south of the Divine Monument Garden. The sound of the waterfall could no longer be heard.

At the end of the canal, he saw a mountain path. This mountain path could lead deep into the mountains.

It was a straight path that extended from the foot of the mountain to the top of the Divine Monument Garden.

Elizabeth and Camia also saw this mountain path. However, they immediately realized the origin of this mountain path and slowly explained, “This path should be the closest to reach the Divine Monument Garden. However, the Rune Academy forbids anyone from passing through this mountain path. Only under special circumstances can the principal and teachers of the Rune Academy walk on this mountain path.”

Lugh was greatly puzzled and asked in surprise, “There’s such a thing? Only under special circumstances can one pass?”

“We don’t know the reason either. In short, this is a rule of the Academy, and we’ve only heard about it from others.”

This mountain path did not have any stone houses. There were no trees on either side, only some huge rocks.

Anyone who saw this path would definitely have a strong urge to walk along it.

Compared to other roads, this road was much shorter and much more convenient.

But they had never had the courage to go against the Academy’s ban and walk on this road.

Other than Lugh, the examinees who came to participate in the test also knew the existence of this road. Moreover, in their understanding, this road was called the Divine Path. They did not know the reason, however, they did not have the courage to violate the Academy’s ban.

At the beginning of this path, at the end of the canal, there was a pavilion.

A person was sitting in the pavilion.

That person was wearing worn-out armor. The armor was full of rust, covering his body. From head to toe, not a single shining part of it was exposed.

The man was holding an old broadsword in his hand. There were many holes in the blade. It was hard to imagine how many fierce battles this broadsword had gone through to become like this. Even the blade was broken.

The broadsword was pressed against the ground. The man stood with the sword in his hand.

Looking from afar, the man in full armor was like a statue.

Sometimes, people would even wonder if there was a person in the armor.

But Lugh knew that it was a person, not a statue.

He could sense the breathing of the person in the armor. At the same time, the person in the armor also sensed Lugh’s perception.

He suddenly opened his eyes, as if there was a cold flash.

This pair of emotionless eyes was extremely cold. He looked at Lugh as if he was looking at an ant.

Lugh was also surprised. He did not sense the strength of the person wearing the armor. He was like a piece of wood, not emitting any fluctuations.

But when he opened his eyes, Lugh saw an extremely powerful aura and killing intent in his eyes.

His heart could not help but jump.

This person was very strong.

He was far stronger than anyone he had ever seen. In Lugh’s memory, only the person in Earl Wilson’s mansion, with whom he had felt a spiritual connection, had such a feeling.

However, he did not know who that person was. However, the person in armor in front of him gave him a real sense of power. It was as if he was a machine that was born for killing.

As long as Lugh dared to walk on this mountain road, he had no doubt that this person would immediately kill him.

Even if he had powerful runes, he would not be able to block this person’s broadsword.

This was the difference in strength. It was too wide.

Of course, there was another person who was definitely stronger than this armored person.

That was the Rune Academy’s principal, Frank.

To be able to become the Rune Academy’s principal, he must be the strongest person in the Rune Academy.

However, Frank had long been able to restrain his cultivation and not reveal it at all. At first glance, he looked like an ordinary old man with a kind expression.

And this man who was holding a broadsword and wearing armor was exuding killing intent from his entire body. It was very clear what kind of terror he felt.

“This is the swordmaster guarding the Divine Monument Garden. The moment we dare to take a step forward, this swordmaster will immediately kill us.”

Elizabeth told him.

Her face was a little pale. Similarly, under the gaze of this person wearing armor, she felt an unprecedented sense of oppression.

Even though he was as arrogant as Elizabeth, when faced with the swordmasters of the Rune Academy, he simply could not bring himself to be arrogant.

“What is a Swordmaster?”

Hearing Elizabeth’s words, Lugh was somewhat curious.

Wasn’t the rune world all about using runes? Why was there such a thing as a Swordmaster?

Elizabeth explained helplessly, “This involves the study after entering the Rune Academy in the future. Swordmasters are actually also a type of rune-master. It’s just that the way runes are displayed is different.”

“As long as you can enter the Rune Academy to study, you will find out in the future. Let’s hurry up and leave. This path is absolutely not to be taken.”
