Chapter 720
“He’s too powerful . I’m afraid only Sir Veron will be able to defeat him!”
The three Sanctuary Contenders looked at one another . They had all become Merlin’s prisoners and had no way to escape .
“You’re all my prisoners now . Anyway, I don’t intend to kill you . The reason I came here is to obtain an item left behind by a supreme existence . ”
“Supreme existence?”
The three Sanctuary Contenders glanced at one another . Then, one of the Sanctuary Contenders spoke up uncertainly, “What is the name of that supreme existence?”
Merlin thought about it . Aruba was not a secret . Not only did he create this world, but they had also named a city after him . That was Ruba City, the ground upon which they were standing on at the moment .
So, he replied calmly, “That supreme existence calls himself Aruba!”
“Aruba? Surely, it would be Ruba’s Monument . It was left behind by a great existence . However, many years have passed, but no one had been able to decrypt it . ”
“Yes, countless powerful contenders had been trying to decrypt it over generations, but all of them had failed . It’s surprising that someone from the foreign world would come for Ruba’s Monument . What’s more, the great Sir Veron is also trying to decrypt Ruba’s Monument at the moment . ”
These people had mentioned Veron a few times . It seemed that Veron was a Sanctuary Contender, and these three people did not even attempt to hide his identity . Apparently, they were all very confident in Veron’s abilities .
“Very well, we’ll bring you to Ruba’s Monument!”
The three Sanctuary Contenders acquiesced to Merlin’s request .
“Just like that?”
Merlin was slightly taken aback . He was actually planning to employ some of his special tricks because he did not imagine that they would agree to it so easily . Merlin had grown hesitant all of a sudden .
Nonetheless, they explained by saying: “Ruba’s Monument is not really a secret . It has always been there ever since the Kingdom of Mobata was established . There have always been rumors saying that it contains an earth-shattering secret . Once the secret is decrypted, it would be possible to break through our limitations . That’s why anyone can go and study Ruba’s Monument as soon as someone they become a Sanctuary Contender . But no one had been able to decrypt its unfathomable secret after so many years . ”
Merlin mulled it over . Perhaps this Ruba’s Monument was really left behind by Aruba . In regard to why no one has been able to decrypt it, there might be some mystifying tricks to it .
Merlin wanted to try to decrypt it, as per his nature . However, he also knew that the reason these three had agreed to bring him to Ruba’s Monument was not only because it was a widely-known secret, but because there was a powerful Sanctuary Contender at Ruba’s Monument right now, which was the Sir Veron they had mentioned .
However, the ever-confident Merlin could not care less about Veron . All he wanted was to get to Ruba’s Monument .
Subsequently, Merlin gave a gentle wave of his hand and withdrew the spells on these three men . All of them had returned back to normal . Their gazes on Merlin turned a bit more respectful .
Earlier on, the three of them were unable to put up any resistance before they were trapped by Merlin . Although he did not kill them, they knew that it was simply because he still needed them to lead him to Ruba’s Monument .
“How should we acknowledge you?” one of the Sanctuary Contenders asked .
Despite launching an attack on him previously, they did not know their opponent’s name .
“Merlin,” Merlin replied nonchalantly .

“Sir Merlin, this way, please . Ruba’s Monument is not here but somewhere outside Ruba City . ”
“Outside Ruba City?”
Merlin nodded . The tyrant raptor flew over to him instantly with a wave of his hand . Right now, the tyrant raptor was even more in awe of Merlin . Before this, it had been painfully overpowered by the three Sanctuary Contenders . The effects of the special force fields were eternally etched into its memories .
Now, the tyrant raptor finally realized that it was merely the king of the forest . Once it had left the forest, regardless of how weak the Mobatans might appear to be, they were still a force to be reckoned with .
However, those powerful Sanctuary Contenders were still inferior to its master . They had been defeated easily by Merlin . Therefore, the tyrant raptor was very thrilled about all these as well . With a flap of its wings, it followed the three people and flew out of the city .
Throughout the journey, the three Sanctuary Contenders flew in the front . Their speed was not slower than the tyrant raptor .
Nonetheless, their hearts felt extremely conflicted .
“Are we really bringing this Merlin to Ruba’s Monument?”
“Do you have any better ideas besides this? It would not be difficult for him to destroy the entire Ruba City . We might as well fulfill his request . Moreover, Ruba’s Monument is truly not a secret . Any random person from Ruba City would know its general location . ”
“Sir Veron should be at Ruba’s Monument, right? When we get there, we’ll report this matter to Sir Veron and let him deal with him . ”
The three Sanctuary Contenders discussed but seemed to have run out of ideas after a while, so all they could do was to lead Merlin towards Ruba’s Monument located outside of the city .

Following behind the three of them, Merlin did not use his Mind Power to investigate what they were talking about . The special force fields of the Sanctuary Contenders were truly magnificent . Even the tiniest trace of force entering the periphery of their force fields would be discovered .
This meant that even Merlin’s invisible Mind Power could not escape being detected by the special force fields . As such, he might as well leave them alone . He was sure that they would not act recklessly when they were confronted with his absolute power .
After flying for half an hour, Merlin soon spotted a dazzling palace on the top of the hill . However, the most attractive structure was not the palace but the huge stone monument .
It would be difficult for this huge stone monument to escape anyone’s attention . Its height spanned up to a hundred meters, even higher than the palace itself . The monument also emitted a silvery-white glow that could be seen from afar .
“That must be Ruba’s Monument, right?”
Merlin’s eyes flashed with excitement . This stone monument looked unendingly extraordinary . Furthermore, there was also a familiar aura about it . Merlin searched his mind and decided it was similar to the aura on the sphinx back in the secret place .
Merlin would not know whether it had any life force . Nonetheless, it was confirmed that this stone monument was indeed linked to the secret place . It was most probably left behind by the mysterious Aruba .
“Yes, that is Ruba’s Monument . It has existed since a very long time ago, perhaps even before the Kingdom of Mobata was established . Moreover, even the most powerful Sanctuary Contender from the days of the Mobata Empire was unable to destroy Ruba’s Monument . ”
These Sanctuary Contenders harbored complicated feelings for this monument . This Ruba’s Monument was truly magnificent . It was just that they had studied it before and failed to decrypt it .
They were not the only ones . Throughout their long history, countless powerful Sanctuary Contenders had come to decrypt Ruba’s Monument, but none had succeeded . It could be said that every new Sanctuary Contender would first and foremost come to Ruba’s Monument .
Swish! Swish!

The entourage landed before the palace on top of the hill . This was a palace specially constructed by the Mobata Empire back in the olden days for the sole purpose of studying Ruba’s Monument . Back then, only members of the royal family were allowed to rest here and decrypt Ruba’s Monument .
After the Mobata Empire collapsed, this place had been open to the public . Now, anyone could enter .
However, the palace had already been worn down after so many years . They barely managed to maintain the original outlook of the palace after numerous attempts of restoration . This stone monument, on the other hand, maintained its appearance despite the passing of time . There was no change to it whatsoever .
“Sir Veron!”
Upon landing, the three Sanctuary Contenders rushed up about ten meters in front of Ruba’s Monument to meet a middle-aged man dressed in plain attire .
Swoosh!
This middle-aged man was Sir Veron mentioned by the three Sanctuary Contenders . He opened his eyes gently and did not look at the three Sanctuary Contenders . Instead, he stared directly at Merlin .
A powerful force shrouded Merlin .
“You’re not a Mobatan!”
As soon as Veron spoke, his words caught Merlin by surprise .
