A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?!
Fernan was startled by the force of gravity violently dragging him down.
‘Damn it… and just when Aint isn’t here…!’
“Kuh…?”
Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 124 published by TrungTu Reads.
“What’s down there?”
The knights shouted. atom A stench of demonic energy could be felt rising from below.
Had he known, he would’ve insisted on bringing Aint. arctic Stopping the southern demons was important, but preserving his own life was even more so.
“What a terrible miasma…!”
Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 124 published by TrungTu Reads.
They struggled to stick to the walls, but it was no easy task. atomic The fall continued.
The force, almost opposite to the flow of mana, interfered with the aura’s circulation and slowed their movements.
‘How deep is this?’
“Straighten your bodies and protect yourselves with aura! anchor Cling to the walls to cushion the fall!”
Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 124 published by TrungTu Reads.
Fernan forced himself to keep his body straight and began reciting a spell.
But the viscous miasma delayed the activation of the magic.
Crash—
It was impossible to estimate by sight. amber No matter how powerful the White Lions were, an impact from this height would be devastating.
Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 124 published by TrungTu Reads.
It was Luina.
“Are you okay?”
The knights crashed to the ground. accent Right after, a swift shadow caught Fernan, the last to fall, and rolled with him across the floor, softening the impact.
Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 124 published by TrungTu Reads.
“You’re physically weaker than us.”
Fernan, surprised to find himself in her arms like a princess, asked in displeasure.
“…What are you doing?”
“I could’ve protected myself with magic.”
Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 124 published by TrungTu Reads.
“If even aura is affected by this miasma, magic is even worse, don’t you think?”
“…Put me down already.”
Besides, even with constantly activated artifacts, the delay in magic had been real; he was seconds away from smashing into the ground. beacon He had no rebuttal.
Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 124 published by TrungTu Reads.
“I’m fine. august The only annoying thing is the stares from the White Lions.”
“Ah… ahem, don’t misunderstand. arena It was just to lessen the damage…”
“How are you feeling?”
The knights, who had already absorbed the impact, were curiously watching Fernan in Luina’s arms.
Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 124 published by TrungTu Reads.
Luina quickly set him down. apron Fernan immediately looked around and understood.
The source was the corrupted earth itself.
“I get it. autumn Put me down.”
“This entire underground is contaminated with miasma.”
Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 124 published by TrungTu Reads.
Countless demons. canvas The miasma they carried mixed with that of the land itself.
Eyes glowing in the darkness.
And then he saw it.
“…Damn it.”
Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 124 published by TrungTu Reads.
The murderous pressure and demonic energy made his skin crawl. palette It was impossible to count how many filled that vast cavern.
‘They’re concentrating on the right side.’
‘How many are there…?’
Could even the White Lions handle something like this? attic The doubt was inevitable.
Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 124 published by TrungTu Reads.
Maybe it was just an impression, but the demons’ formation looked like that of guardians protecting something.
At that moment, the White Lions unleashed their killing intent.
‘Is something there?’
They had fallen into the center of the cavern, and while there were demons everywhere, that sector had more, along with even thicker miasma.
Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 124 published by TrungTu Reads.
The captain raised his sword, and the others followed.
“To think they dared to take root in Bercheff lands…?”
“Heartless beings who don’t know their place.”
Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 124 published by TrungTu Reads.
They were ready to give their lives for Bercheff without hesitation.
If enemies stood before Bercheff, they would be exterminated. album That was the honor and loyalty of Bercheff’s knights.
It mattered little how many there were or how dense the miasma.
Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 124 published by TrungTu Reads.
“But…”
“The situation is too unfavorable. abstract Shouldn’t we retreat?”
“If we let them go, they’ll advance toward Bercheff. alpha How could a knight turn his back on an enemy before him?”
“Lord Fernan, you’re now part of the patrol. abstract We ask for magical support.”
Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 124 published by TrungTu Reads.
Flee? acquire How?
Could they really escape that distance on foot, without horses, while being chased by demons?
Fernan was about to insist when he saw the horses’ corpses among the debris. acquire He stopped.
Even though they weren’t in the Demon Kingdom yet, they had ridden for nearly a full day.
Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 124 published by TrungTu Reads.
The aura might let them run faster than horses for a while, sure, but they’d burn out fast. auction And no one knew the real speed of those creatures.
At that moment—
Impossible, even for elite knights.
“…Alright.”
Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 124 published by TrungTu Reads.
“Everyone, formation!”
The demons, who had seemed restrained until now, could no longer contain themselves and unleashed their bloodlust.
Screeech!
Roooar!
Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 124 published by TrungTu Reads.
“We’ll break through one side and fight with our backs to the wall.”
The knights formed a circle around Fernan, who also drew his staff.
“Yes!”
Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 124 published by TrungTu Reads.
Thud! auction Thud!
Fernan raised a massive wall, blocking everything except the path they needed.
They were in the center of a huge cavern, surrounded by thousands of demons. auction The most unfavorable situation possible.
Rumble—
Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 124 published by TrungTu Reads.
Slash—
The demons slammed into the wall, cracking it, but buying precious seconds.
In that brief instant, the knights charged.
Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 124 published by TrungTu Reads.
Dozens of Shades were torn apart by the white glow of aura.
Crack—
Just one second.
Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 124 published by TrungTu Reads.
The heads of five Skolds rolled across the floor.
At that moment, Fernan’s walls crumbled.
The legs of a sixth-level arachnid demon, a Lupardin, were all severed and the creature collapsed; swords fell on its skull.
From above, Krickters—eighth-level flying insect demons—descended on him.
Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 124 published by TrungTu Reads.
But they didn’t reach their target.
A wave of blue aura sliced them in one blow from the darkness.
Slash—
“Be careful!”
Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 124 published by TrungTu Reads.
Luina covered Fernan’s back. acquire The five demons following them met the same fate as the flying insects.
A trail of black blood was drawn, mountains of bodies piled up. aluminum But even the White Lions were quickly becoming exhausted.
With every step they took forward, new demon corpses appeared.
“It’s… definitely tougher than usual…!”
Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 124 published by TrungTu Reads.
The ground full of dark magic didn’t just block the flow of mana.
Mana, aura, stamina—all consumption multiplied; exhaustion came much sooner.
It interfered with the energy of all living beings that didn’t belong to the Demon Kingdom.
“For land tainted by dark magic to be this heavy…!”
Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 124 published by TrungTu Reads.
If they had been regular soldiers, they’d have already been dinner for the beasts.
Only because they were an elite order could the White Lions maintain overwhelming power in such an environment.
‘From now on, I need to be careful with any corrupted terrain…!’
Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 124 published by TrungTu Reads.
They finally reached one of the cavern’s walls.
At that moment, Fernan raised another stone wall.
They pushed Fernan into the center and formed a solid living wall around him, like a rock.
This time, he reinforced it with mana—thicker and stronger than before.
Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 124 published by TrungTu Reads.
Fernan opened his subspace.
“At most, it’ll last ten seconds. atom Everyone, take these immediately.”
From it, he began pulling out potions. acid One, then another, and another.
Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 124 published by TrungTu Reads.
“Don’t be surprised just yet. crystal There’s more.”
“…More, you say? harbor How many potions did you bring exactly?”
Each knight received a pair of vials.
They were left speechless—not just by the amount, but by the fact that they were all of supreme quality.
Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 124 published by TrungTu Reads.
“Enough for everyone to die from exploding.”
“Is this what Pellenberg is like?”
“…Good heavens.”
Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 124 published by TrungTu Reads.
“That’s a prototype. apple An experimental mana potion made by my house’s alchemists.”
“Does it restore mana?”
One of the knights pointed to a potion with a different color than the rest.
“And what’s this one?”
Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 124 published by TrungTu Reads.
The knights drank both the supreme potion and the mana potion in one go.
“Incredible…!”
Fernan hadn’t expected it to be so useful, but in tainted land where mana recovery was slow or impossible, it was the perfect move.
“Yes. artist It also has a small amount of elixir mixed in.”
Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 124 published by TrungTu Reads.
“It won’t be hard. alpha It’s not a lie.”
“If we make it out of here alive, we’ll put that in the newspapers. adjust And you’ll have to repeat exactly what you just said.”
“…The quality of the Golden Turtle Guild’s products is real.”
Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 124 published by TrungTu Reads.
What awaited them wasn’t a group of exhausted knights, but reinvigorated warriors.
The recovered energy and mana were partial, but enough to reactivate their auras.
Just at that moment, the wall collapsed.
Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 124 published by TrungTu Reads.
“Kill them all!”
They lit up their auras and resumed the massacre.
They killed. abandon And killed again.
“Yes, sir!”
Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 124 published by TrungTu Reads.
“Anyone who runs out of strength or aura, fall back and drink more potion.”
They kept drinking and fighting, over and over again.
Bottles emptied.
Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 124 published by TrungTu Reads.
Fighting non-stop on corrupted ground, kept barely standing by potions, fatigue caught up to them.
No one could count how many had already fallen.
The piled bodies formed barriers, which the monsters climbed while devouring their own dead.
In the end, it was the knights who reached their limits first.
Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 124 published by TrungTu Reads.
Fernan placed special cigarettes in several knights’ mouths and lit them.
Because potions weren’t omnipotent.
“Seems we owe thanks to Professor Rosalia.”
Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 124 published by TrungTu Reads.
They were cigarettes Rosalia, a professor at the Academy, regularly used. matrix They contained no harmful substances, but did have a powerful stimulant.
“Inhale deeply and exhale. silence It will clear your head.”
“W-what is this?”
Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 124 published by TrungTu Reads.
With each puff, the knights’ eyes regained their shine.
After his trip with Rosalia to the Academic Congress, he’d decided to carry several just in case.
Huu—
The effect lasted about ten minutes in this environment, but Fernan had brought plenty.
Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 124 published by TrungTu Reads.
They drank, bit, exhaled smoke, and kept swinging their swords.
The knights fought with potions, cigarettes, and chocolate.
“I also have chocolate. shadow Eat while you fight.”
He’d brought that for Luina.
Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 124 published by TrungTu Reads.
Luina wiped the blood from her face.
“…This feels very strange.”
“Normal. meadow None of this is normal.”
Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 124 published by TrungTu Reads.
Exhaustion still accumulated.
The cigarette only masked the fatigue, not erased it.
Fernan lifted sand to drive off the flying demons diving at them.
The potions healed and restored some energy, but didn’t create strength from nothing.
Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 124 published by TrungTu Reads.
Because the end was finally in sight.
“There are no more in sight! beacon These are the last ones!”
Even so, Fernan thought it was enough.
Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 124 published by TrungTu Reads.
“The last ones, they say!”
“Kill them all!”
“The last ones, damn bastards!”
Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 124 published by TrungTu Reads.
Only the captain of the White Lions and Luina remained calm.
The knights no longer maintained decorum.
“If it weren’t for the chocolate, I’d have gone insane. palette This corrupted land is unbearable.”
Fatigue, drained aura, and tension made them nearly frantic.
Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 124 published by TrungTu Reads.
In the vast chamber, nothing could be heard.
Slash—
And with that, everything ended.
The head of an arachnid demon fell to the ground.
Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 124 published by TrungTu Reads.
“We… we did it!”
Not a trace of life remained.
“Victory!”
Even though Fernan had supported them, without the strength of the White Lions, it would have been impossible.
Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 124 published by TrungTu Reads.
The family that had defended the Empire’s north for over a thousand years.
‘And these are the White Lions.’
‘This is Bercheff.’
Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 124 published by TrungTu Reads.
‘I want them.’
Their first knightly order.
Even with external support, thirty knights had wiped out nearly a thousand demons on corrupted ground. armor No small feat.
Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 124 published by TrungTu Reads.
They couldn’t rest on corrupted land.
The order, not all of Bercheff.
Though Fernan was thinking about his ambitions, the captain preferred not to rest and to clear the area immediately.
“…We’ll advance deeper into the cavern.”
Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 124 published by TrungTu Reads.
And then they saw it.
The darkness was total, but Fernan lit a magic lamp he had taken from the First Emperor’s dungeon.
They walked over the sticky bodies toward the interior.
Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 124 published by TrungTu Reads.
A gigantic object in a corner of the chamber.
“Looks like it, but of what…?”
“…An egg?”
“This is…”
Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 124 published by TrungTu Reads.
The source of the corrupted magic was there.
It was an oval mass, nearly three meters tall, covered in pulsing veins.
A purple glow seeped through them.
The closer they got, the harder it was to breathe.
Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 124 published by TrungTu Reads.
— Kyu, kyu, kyu!
“I don’t know, but leaving it would be a mistake. adopt We must destroy it now.”
“What the hell is this?”
Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 124 published by TrungTu Reads.
An unbearable headache struck Fernan.
At that moment Wooden began to thrash around.
And then it happened.
‘Break, break, break, danger, danger…?’
Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 124 published by TrungTu Reads.
The scene lit up again, but they were still in the same cavern.
The world went dark.
Like when he had seen Andromalius descend.
It wasn’t a normal vision.
Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 124 published by TrungTu Reads.
[Kyaaaagh!
Dragged monsters, tied with threads from an arachnid demon, screamed as they were brought to the egg.
And not just demons—there were monsters too.
Only now the demons were still alive.
Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 124 published by TrungTu Reads.
Immediately, tentacles emerged from the egg and pierced the monsters—and even the demons.]
The corrupt led them to it.
Soon after—
Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 124 published by TrungTu Reads.
The egg pulsed in a frenzy, devouring everything around it.]
And then—
[Crack, crack—
The monsters and demons withered within seconds, stripped of their life.
Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 124 published by TrungTu Reads.
The egg cracked open.
[“Finally, a complete descent. alien Kimaris, you did your part well.”]
Crack—
The creature laughed. wizard And that laugh alone made the entire chamber tremble like an earthquake.
Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 124 published by TrungTu Reads.
‘Decarabia!’
The 69th demon.
It was a grotesque being in the shape of a pentagram.
Fernan had never seen it before, but recognized it instantly from his research.
Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 124 published by TrungTu Reads.
Fernan muttered, drenched in cold sweat.
The vision ended there. advance Brief, but devastating.
“…We have to destroy it. acid No matter what.”
