A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?!
“How could it get this far without us noticing?”
A few cultists descending south was completely different from them establishing a nest.
“It’s a nest…!”
“Really… a nest?”

Fernan stared at the violet-stained ground and swallowed hard. adjust The ominous magical energy was unmistakable.
Was that dark purple staining the snow… corruption?
‘…At least, that’s what I know.’
When a nest appeared, the land became tainted. atlas The corrupted ground devoured mana and converted it into corrupted magic, which in turn further empowered demons and demonic creatures, complicating the entire situation.

He wanted out immediately, to return to his full size and wipe out everything.
— Kyuuu! matrix Kyu!
Wooden was reacting nervously too, pounding on Fernan’s chest.
Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 123 published by TrungTu Reads.
‘Ah… of course. audit Wooden was a forest spirit drawn to the World Tree branch.’
Wooden’s unusual urgency startled Fernan—until he understood.
He couldn’t stand to see the land tainted.
Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 123 published by TrungTu Reads.
A spirit born from pure energy, who also carried a fragment of the World Tree—the purest mana source—would detect corruption easily.
Now it made sense.
‘This is an unexpected advantage…’
Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 123 published by TrungTu Reads.
…Though first, they had to survive this situation.
In the face of the looming demonic incursion, having a “detector” almost as sensitive as Aint Armian was a reassuring asset.
“We must exterminate the demonic creatures and purify the ground.”
“They’ve sent scouts in all directions. athlete Clearly they intend to expand their territory quickly. portal We can’t just sit by.”
Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 123 published by TrungTu Reads.
‘Calm down, Wooden. acid Not now.’
‘Don’t give me that disappointed face either.’
— Kyu…
Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 123 published by TrungTu Reads.
In the end, Wooden went quiet.
‘That they’re your mortal enemies? sphere Don’t be ridiculous.’
— Kyu!
Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 123 published by TrungTu Reads.
They didn’t know exactly how fast they could reproduce or how dangerous the corrupted land would be. matrix But they did know that if they didn’t act, it would turn into a flood that would consume Bercheff.
Meanwhile, the White Lion knights decided to face them head-on, not retreat.
“We cannot allow demonic creatures to establish a nest right at Bercheff’s doorstep.”
Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 123 published by TrungTu Reads.
And for a land only just recovered, that would be a death blow.
No matter how many there were, up until now they’d only seen lesser creatures. atlas What if there were stronger demons hidden nearby?
‘And there’s no guarantee this is all there is.’
Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 123 published by TrungTu Reads.
For example, ensuring that not a single one of those beasts escaped.
“Don’t worry about me. alert In fact, as part of the patrol, I’d like to contribute as well.”
“Sir Fernan. canvas We’ll protect you with everything we’ve got, but we can’t guarantee your absolute safety.”
Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 123 published by TrungTu Reads.
“We’ve heard that.”
The captain grew interested.
“You’re a guest, Sir Fernan. alpha But tell me—how do you plan to do that?”
“You may have heard—my specialty is earth magic.”
Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 123 published by TrungTu Reads.
“Raise walls.”
Fernan drew a circle in the air, pointing around the valley.
“And what do earth mages do best?”
Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 123 published by TrungTu Reads.
“What do you mean?”
“Didn’t Luina tell you about me?”
“They’re rank 7, and there are hundreds of them. atlas It’s not easy to contain them.”
Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 123 published by TrungTu Reads.
The captain nodded, convinced, and extended his hand.
“Fernan, from this moment, you’re part of the patrol. armor I’m counting on you for the strategy.”
Luina whispered something in the captain’s ear. autumn Fernan didn’t catch everything, but he did hear a few words—“elixirs,” “excess mana,” “potions.”

***
When did knights shine brightest? anxiety Without a doubt—in battle.
And so, Fernan was formally integrated.
Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 123 published by TrungTu Reads.
And among all battles, there was one moment when knights reached the height of their glory.
They mainly used swords, but could wield nearly any weapon. agent Their versatility and ferocity were hard to describe.
Since childhood, they’d been trained to kill men, monsters, and beasts. palette They were living weapons.
Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 123 published by TrungTu Reads.
The cavalry charge.
Anyone who hadn’t seen dozens or hundreds of knights charging in unison could not imagine such devastating power.
It was the flower and essence of knightly orders.
Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 123 published by TrungTu Reads.
The horses began to advance slowly through the snow.
It was already a spectacle—but the best part was yet to come.
Fernan, lying beside Luina in the snow, watched the White Lions form up for the charge.
The knights lowered their lances.
Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 123 published by TrungTu Reads.
A white glow of aura began to radiate from the lances. alien Amid the snowstorm, it looked like a sublime vision.
The knights shared aura and combat techniques. shadow They learned to synchronize.
Wooong—
Wooooong—
Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 123 published by TrungTu Reads.
The aura resonated, expanding and covering the knights, the horses, the entire formation.
The horses, influenced by the energy, neighed like wild beasts and picked up speed.
Dudududu—
Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 123 published by TrungTu Reads.
Kruaaargh!
Kyaaaah!
When they bared their fangs at the White Lions, the formation was already upon them, ready to tear out their throats.
The demonic creatures finally sensed the threat. accent But it was already too late.
Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 123 published by TrungTu Reads.
Gyaaaah!
Grooarh!
─────!
Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 123 published by TrungTu Reads.
In an instant, dozens of creatures were destroyed, bursting into bloody chunks.
That was only the beginning.
The roar shook the heavens and earth.
Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 123 published by TrungTu Reads.
At that moment, Fernan raised his staff and activated the prepared magic circle.
Rumble—
The formation pierced through one group, and without stopping, charged into another.
The smell of blood drew even more howls and assaults.
Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 123 published by TrungTu Reads.
Fernan and Luina looked up at the wall growing skyward.
A massive circular wall rose around the valley, enclosing everything.
“Hmm…?”
Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 123 published by TrungTu Reads.
“What’s wrong?”
“…The mana cost is higher than expected.”
He looked at the blackened earth beneath his feet.
Fernan quickly drank a potion.
Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 123 published by TrungTu Reads.
Magic didn’t depend only on personal mana—it also drew from the environment.
But the corrupted land had no mana—only corrupted magic.
‘Of course… one more reason to purify this.’
Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 123 published by TrungTu Reads.
Kraaaagh!
Without ambient mana, any aura or magic consumed reserves much faster.
Gyaaaah!
“So the corruption blocks mana flow. album We’ll have to be careful in the upcoming battles.”
Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 123 published by TrungTu Reads.
In the midst of the darkness, the White Lions shone like absolute predators.
Meanwhile, the battle reached its climax.
The demonic creatures charged like an unending tide. riddle The knights didn’t stop for a second.
Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 123 published by TrungTu Reads.
A spectacle that sent shivers down the spine.
The demons’ fangs and claws couldn’t pierce the resonant aura generated by the knights.
“Incredible. arena Even if they’re rank 6 demons, I now understand why they didn’t flee… and why the White Lions are called Bercheff’s first knight order.”
“What do you think?”
Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 123 published by TrungTu Reads.
Pride was evident in Luina’s straightened shoulders.
“The White Lions are the first knight order of the continent.”
And wherever they passed, corpses were left without fail.
Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 123 published by TrungTu Reads.
Watching her boast didn’t sit well with Fernan, so he threw out a dry comment.
“But you’re not them, are you?”
“……”
Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 123 published by TrungTu Reads.
“…I can fight too. action I stayed to protect you.”
“All Bercheff’s aura techniques derive from the family’s secret technique.”
“I know that.”
“Even though your aura technique is different?”
Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 123 published by TrungTu Reads.
“What’s that supposed to mean all of a sudden?”
“…Are you mocking me?”
Fernan let out a small chuckle.
“You definitely shouldn’t be a merchant.”
Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 123 published by TrungTu Reads.
“But for a merchant, it’s not.”
“For a knight, honesty is a virtue.”
“Anyway, I never planned on becoming a merchant.”
“It’s written all over your face.”
Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 123 published by TrungTu Reads.
At that moment—
“That’s what I’m saying.”
Luina tilted her head, feeling like she’d lost at something without understanding how.
“…Huh?”
Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 123 published by TrungTu Reads.
All the demons had reacted to the presence of living beings and, without exception, had thrown themselves at the White Lions—only to end up as corpses.
“It’s over.”
“Is the pursuit over here?”
Feeding mana into the stone wall no longer made sense.
Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 123 published by TrungTu Reads.
It was clear they had to return as soon as possible and report to the margrave so countermeasures could be drawn up.
After all, no matter how strong the order was, just thirty knights couldn’t exterminate every demon in the vast north.
“For now, yes. august We’ve strayed quite far from the usual patrol route, and it’s very likely this isn’t a phenomenon limited to just this area.”
Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 123 published by TrungTu Reads.
Fernan dispelled the magic. palette The tall walls sank back into the earth.
As Luina had said, even though the White Lions had found a trail leading farther north, they didn’t follow it.
“Burn all the demon corpses, then we’ll head back.”
Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 123 published by TrungTu Reads.
They lit fires. arena Although the snow made it difficult to burn cleanly, even after the red flames passed, the contaminated earth remained impure.
“Hmm. timber For now, we’ll burn it.”
“And the land tainted by dark magic? arch It looks like it spread even further after absorbing the demons’ blood.”
Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 123 published by TrungTu Reads.
At that moment, Fernan pulled something from his subspace and poured it on the ground.
Shhhhhh!
“…There’s nothing else we can do right now. airport We must report to the lord and request help from the Cult of the Dragon God…”
Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 123 published by TrungTu Reads.
The knights’ eyes widened.
“……!”
“……!”
A thick smoke rose, and after the reaction, a portion of the blackened land returned to its original state.
Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 123 published by TrungTu Reads.
“Holy water, produced by the Cult of the Dragon God.”
“Didn’t I say I came prepared?”
“How did you get it…?”
“…Sir, what is that?”
Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 123 published by TrungTu Reads.
‘They’re bastards, but their product is worth every coin…’
His opinion of the cult rose a few notches.
Of course, when Jace had given him that amount of holy water, Fernan never imagined it would be this effective and versatile.
“I see. admire If you have enough of it, could you purify the land with it?”
Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 123 published by TrungTu Reads.
“…But if you let me keep the demon corpses, I can give it a try.”
“There’s too much area to cover everything here.”
“Take as many as you want.”
“That’s what I thought…”
Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 123 published by TrungTu Reads.
Fernan tossed dozens of glass vials filled with holy water into the air and, with a spell, made them explode into a mist.
The liquid, mixed with mana, turned almost into a fog that covered the entire contaminated area, fighting the dark resistance and gradually purifying the land.
“Then it’s a deal.”
Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 123 published by TrungTu Reads.
“That the Cult of the Dragon God’s holy water works so well is encouraging.”
“Whoaaa…”
The captain of the White Lions, until just moments ago worried about the magnitude of the corruption, let out a sigh of relief.
Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 123 published by TrungTu Reads.
Wooden began pounding him even harder and more frantically than before.
— Kyu kyu kyu kyu!
But then—
Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 123 published by TrungTu Reads.
Crack—
At that moment—
‘Stop! adapt You hit a bone! harbor What now…?!’
Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 123 published by TrungTu Reads.
“Huh?”
“What…?”
The very ground of the valley beneath their feet suddenly collapsed.
With no prior warning.
Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 123 published by TrungTu Reads.
The crack swallowed all thirty White Lions, the eldest daughter of Bercheff, and the heir of Pellenberg.
“Watch out!”
“Th-the ground…!”
Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 123 published by TrungTu Reads.
As if nothing had ever happened.
The valley fell silent.
