A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?!

In the grand banquet hall of the city hall, a crowd awaited inspection.

Because Vienderk’s soldiers had tracked entry and exit records and brought in all the suspects, the previously mentioned five hundred people had now become nearly six hundred.

The next day, Fernan and Aint entered the city hall together with the priests of the Cult of the Dragon God.

And they would surely continue increasing.

Except for the cardinal, the other nine priests took out artifacts.

“We will now begin searching for corrupt magic. alpha We ask for your active cooperation.”

Fernan knew them well—artifacts capable of detecting corrupt magic embedded in mana.

“Let me try.”

Fernan, leaning on the railing of the second floor beside Aint, watched from above.

The priests began inspecting people one by one from the edges.

“What do you think? abstract Do you sense anything?”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 108 published by TrungTu Reads.

Then someone approached him.

Aint began concentrating, while Fernan unconsciously stroked Wooden hanging from his neck, thinking about what was to come.

“All right.”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 108 published by TrungTu Reads.

“Count Daniel? portal You’re here too?”

“Greetings, young master Fernan.”

His territory had fertile lands that produced a large amount of rice and barley, as well as advanced distilleries that specialized in whisky and other liquors.

It was Daniel Kool, with his pale blond hair.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 108 published by TrungTu Reads.

“Do I? voyage I’ve been expanding business a lot lately, and with so many concerns, I’ve lost a bit of weight.”

With those goods, he operated a prosperous trading company.

He was also a client of the Golden Turtle Trade’s distribution network.

“You look a bit different.”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 108 published by TrungTu Reads.

“I came up happy after securing a liquor supply contract for this continental conference, but I never imagined I’d run into this disaster.”

His black eyes showed a trace of sympathy.

His face used to be slightly rounded; now he looked more normal. canvas Maybe that was what made him seem different.

“I didn’t expect to see you detained here as well. palette But of course, with something involving the corrupt, no one’s exempt.”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 108 published by TrungTu Reads.

He let out a deep sigh.

“That’s how big business works—it comes with big risks.”

“True. auction But for the corrupt to go as far as murdering nobles—how horrifying. atomic I never thought I’d witness something like this in my lifetime.”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 108 published by TrungTu Reads.

And yet, now they had returned to invade the world and disrupt everything.

For a thousand years, demons and corrupt had remained quiet, reduced to myth, to the point that many couldn’t even distinguish corrupt magic anymore.

“A thousand years of peace, and this had to happen in our era?”

It was exactly what Fernan thought.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 108 published by TrungTu Reads.

The more he thought about it, the more his anger boiled. auction He just wanted to make money in peace and control the world in his own way.

“And this young man?”

“He is Aint Armian.”

The count was staring at Aint, who was concentrating on detecting corrupt magic.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 108 published by TrungTu Reads.

“That’s right. accent He’s my junior.”

“Aint Armian here? arctic Could it be…?”

“Aint… Armian? harbor As in, that Armian?”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 108 published by TrungTu Reads.

“Yes, what you’re imagining.”

“I’m not sure.”

He was here to search for the corrupt alongside the Cult of the Dragon God.

“I remember reading that the power of Armian allows him to instinctively perceive corrupt magic. aluminum Is that true?”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 108 published by TrungTu Reads.

Daniel smiled with a strange gleam in his eyes.

“To witness it in person is an honor. alert Makes being detained worth it.”

“Nothing special? echo They call him the natural enemy of demons!”

“It’s nothing special.”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 108 published by TrungTu Reads.

“I don’t know. attic Like I said…”

That peculiar glint in his eyes made Fernan uncomfortable, and he responded coolly.

“So right now, young Aint is searching for the corrupt? adapt Can he detect corrupt magic from a distance?”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 108 published by TrungTu Reads.

“I found them.”

“Really?”

At that moment, Aint opened his eyes.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 108 published by TrungTu Reads.

“Yes. acid At least now, I’m worthy of dancing on the stage you prepared for me, senior.”

“Count Daniel, I’m sorry, but could you give us a moment in private?”

“He really found a corrupt? galaxy Faster than the Cult of the Dragon God! anxiety Worthy of an Armian. aluminum How…?”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 108 published by TrungTu Reads.

“I got carried away. silence It’s the first time I’ve witnessed the power of an Armian—I hope you understand.”

The count smiled stiffly after a brief pause at the obvious dismissal.

“…Ah, of course.”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 108 published by TrungTu Reads.

“All right, young master. silence We’ll talk again later.”

The count descended.

“I do.”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 108 published by TrungTu Reads.

“Yes.”

“You really found them, Aint?”

He had trusted that Aint could detect corrupt magic, but he hadn’t expected him to do it without direct contact or Gardner’s help.

Fernan suppressed the excitement rising in him.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 108 published by TrungTu Reads.

Excellent news—Aint had grown stronger, and he also felt more indebted to him.

“Before, I might not have sensed it. autumn But now that I’ve leveled up, corrupt magic feels much clearer. atom Also, thanks to the itarium you gave me. atomic I’m grateful.”

A pleasant surprise.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 108 published by TrungTu Reads.

“Who are they?”

Aint pointed to three people—one dressed like a farmer, the other two looking like merchants.

“That one over there, and those two…”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 108 published by TrungTu Reads.

“What else? silence If we’ve found them, we’re not letting them escape.”

“For now, yes. amber But there could be others hiding better. meadow What do we do, senior?”

“Just those three?”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 108 published by TrungTu Reads.

The three were toward the center, while the priests were still checking from the edges.

He couldn’t risk angering the Cult of the Dragon God by stealing the initiative.

It would take time for them to get there.

Fernan thought about moving ahead, but he couldn’t just barge in.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 108 published by TrungTu Reads.

“Wait here.”

He needed an agreement.

Fernan crossed to the opposite side of the balcony and approached Cardinal Gailand, who was observing from above.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 108 published by TrungTu Reads.

The cardinal’s face grew stern.

“…Who?”

“Aint just located the corrupt.”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 108 published by TrungTu Reads.

“How about we make a deal? amateur Like always.”

Fernan, on the other hand, remained calm.

“I can’t just tell you outright.”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 108 published by TrungTu Reads.

***

‘This… is kind of embarrassing.’

Aint recalled Fernan’s instructions and jumped down decisively. aluminum Instantly, all eyes in the hall turned toward him.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 108 published by TrungTu Reads.

‘Yes.’

— Get used to it. aluminum Right now, it’s just a few hundred. atlas Soon it’ll be tens of thousands, millions, hundreds of millions watching you.

Taking a deep breath, Aint calmly walked through the crowd.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 108 published by TrungTu Reads.

“What’s he doing here?”

“Who’s that?”

“I think I’ve seen him before…”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 108 published by TrungTu Reads.

Aint stopped.

The atmosphere was strange, and on top of that, the priests of the Cult of the Dragon God—who were in charge—weren’t doing anything.

People watched him warily, but no one stopped him.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 108 published by TrungTu Reads.

‘How should I do this?’

“W-what’s going on?”

The man in front of him looked nervous.

— Action over words. anchor It’s not enough to say you found them with Armian’s power. adopt Show them why you’re called the natural enemy of demons.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 108 published by TrungTu Reads.

— There’s no need to draw your sword or threaten. crystal Make everyone clearly understand why the Armian bear that title.

With just that, the man stepped back.

Aint created a small sphere of luminous aura.

The sphere began to radiate a light that directly clashed with the corrupt magic.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 108 published by TrungTu Reads.

For a corrupt of that level, just exposing them to the light was enough.

The man’s face twisted in pain.

Before, Aint wouldn’t have been able to do something like this. zenith But after learning Gardner’s true swordsmanship, consuming countless elixirs, and surviving multiple battles—even against demons—now he could.

“What is that… guh?”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 108 published by TrungTu Reads.

“Ghhh…!”

“Hey, what are you doing…?! anxiety Wait… is his body… smoking?”

Like an insect burning when it gets too close to a flame.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 108 published by TrungTu Reads.

“…Corrupt magic?”

The man’s scream grew louder.

From his entire body, a dark and sinister smoke began to rise.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 108 published by TrungTu Reads.

They might never have seen corrupt magic in person, but they knew that energy could be nothing else.

No one there was stupid.

“Is that really corrupt magic?”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 108 published by TrungTu Reads.

“Then, if that light dispels corrupt magic, could he be…?”

They immediately remembered which lineage was the natural enemy of corrupt magic.

“Kyaaaaahhh!”

“Could it be…?”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 108 published by TrungTu Reads.

A wave of energy swept across the surroundings, throwing people to the ground.

“It’s real, it’s corrupt magic!”

The man couldn’t hold on any longer and tore off his mask.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 108 published by TrungTu Reads.

“Everyone, get back!”

“There was a corrupt hiding among us!”

Covered in sinister energy, the corrupt raised his claws like a beast, leaving a black trail in the air as he lunged at Aint.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 108 published by TrungTu Reads.

They hastily drew their weapons.

But Aint was faster.

The priests stayed still, as agreed, but Vienderk’s knights did not.

“Stop right there, filthy corrupt!”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 108 published by TrungTu Reads.

His sword appeared in his hands, deflecting the claws.

The light of his aura shone brightly, revealing his presence to all.

Slash!

Clang!

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 108 published by TrungTu Reads.

The corrupt’s body was immediately cut in two.

“Gyaaaaaaahhh!”

The corrupt magic surrounding him disintegrated quickly, like an insect incinerated in a bonfire.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 108 published by TrungTu Reads.

— Damn it, he’s going to blow himself up!

In that instant, the corrupt’s body began to swell.

— If he explodes here, there’ll be too many casualties. adapt You must contain it!

Aint raised his sword again, but then—

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 108 published by TrungTu Reads.

Boom—!

A dome of rock enclosed the corrupt.

Rumble—

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 108 published by TrungTu Reads.

“Pathetic.”

The building shook, but suffered no damage.

“Always the same routine. alert Don’t they know anything else besides self-detonation?”

Fernan waved his hand calmly.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 108 published by TrungTu Reads.

Silence filled the hall.

“Aint Armian.”

All eyes were on Aint and the fallen corrupt.

And Fernan raised his voice.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 108 published by TrungTu Reads.

“Do what you must.”

It confirmed what everyone suspected—that the young man before them was a descendant of Armian.

The silence shattered.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 108 published by TrungTu Reads.

“Curse you all!”

“Yes, senior.”

“No, I don’t want to die!”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 108 published by TrungTu Reads.

As he passed by Vienderk’s stunned knights, he recalled Fernan’s words:

“Make it as flashy and sacred as possible.”

Other corrupt lunged at him.

Aint did not hesitate.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 108 published by TrungTu Reads.

“Remember—it must be spectacular.”

Aint raised his sword and concentrated his aura.

“After a thousand years, the battle between Armian and the corrupt is happening again. album For a light to appear now that surpasses them is no small thing.”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 108 published by TrungTu Reads.

If he did, he’d kill too many innocent people in the hall.

‘I can’t use anything too powerful…’

But there was one technique that, though harmless to those present, would be impactful enough.

— For the corrupt, it’ll be more than just a spectacle. anchor You’ll see.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 108 published by TrungTu Reads.

A luminous bird with two pairs of wings and a single head.

The aura took shape.

Ignoring Gardner’s sarcasm, Aint swung his sword.

Whoooosh!

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 108 published by TrungTu Reads.

But it was enough.

“…Saint Bird.”

It wasn’t large, didn’t emit a real roar, and had no great destructive power.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 108 published by TrungTu Reads.

Screeeech—!

The symbol of Armian had appeared before everyone.

“A… a bird of light!”

“Gaaaahhh!”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 108 published by TrungTu Reads.

“My power…! alpha It’s fading!”

When the Saint Bird finished its task and vanished, no one was running anymore.

The corrupt screamed as the bird’s light corroded them.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 108 published by TrungTu Reads.

‘Perfect.’

Only a few bodies writhed on the floor, releasing black smoke.

Aint had summoned the very symbol of Armian.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 108 published by TrungTu Reads.

A quality product doesn’t need too much advertisement. alien This is enough.

Maybe it was Gardner’s idea, but it was exactly what they needed.

The deal with the Cult of the Dragon God had paid off.

Fernan smiled in satisfaction.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 108 published by TrungTu Reads.

In return, he had to reveal the secret about Andromalius, but even that played in his favor.

Sooner or later, everyone would realize the problem went beyond the corrupt.

Fernan scanned the hall once more, and his smile widened.

After all, even if the future had changed, the demons would still end up being summoned.
