A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?!

Kimaris, who stopped at some distance, watched them in silence.

Seeing the demon approaching alone on horseback, they sent both the White Lion Knights and the Red Wolves company back.

“How useless what you’re doing.”

On a plain, quite far from the first fortress, the frontier count and the King of Mercenaries halted their horses.

“If they had come all together, they’d have at least a sliver of hope.”

“Why did you follow me alone?”

His chilling voice was low, but clearly heard.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 128 published by TrungTu Reads.

The corners of the count’s and the mercenary king’s lips curled in contempt.

“I see.”

“If someone bothers to entertain me, why shouldn’t I follow them?”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 128 published by TrungTu Reads.

Just by being there, skin stood on end.

That tremor was something neither of the two had felt since reaching the rank of Royal Knight.

To say that in the presence of two Royal Knights was pure arrogance—but Kimaris had the power to back it up.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 128 published by TrungTu Reads.

They were Royal Knights.

But retreating was not an option.

Not even against another of their own level.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 128 published by TrungTu Reads.

The mercenary king sought vengeance for his disciple—or rather, to prepare for the future, in which he knew he would sooner or later have to face a demon.

The count had to protect Bercheff.

“Come.”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 128 published by TrungTu Reads.

“There is no one who can speak to me like that while standing before me.”

Kimaris opened both arms, completely exposed.

Still, the count did not refuse.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 128 published by TrungTu Reads.

He pressed his heels into his horse’s flanks and charged. arch The King of Mercenaries followed.

Thud thud thud thud—

An instant later, Kimaris’s black horse also set off.

The three riders galloped toward each other.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 128 published by TrungTu Reads.

A shockwave erupted and spread.

In a fraction of a second, their weapons clashed.

Boom!

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 128 published by TrungTu Reads.

Kimaris turned his mount.

Aura and magic intertwined. agent The horses neighed in pain, but kept advancing.

“Impressive.”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 128 published by TrungTu Reads.

“Make me enjoy this more.”

Raising his greatsword, he charged again.

“So there was a reason you dared to face me with only two.”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 128 published by TrungTu Reads.

The shockwave, even more violent, distorted space.

Boom!

Once more, they crashed head-on.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 128 published by TrungTu Reads.

The three turned and repeated the charge.

Clang!

But none stopped.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 128 published by TrungTu Reads.

Neighhhh!

Clash!

They were well-trained warhorses, but they could not withstand the pressure of a demon and two superhumans. admire They spat blood and collapsed.

The first to fall were neither the count nor the mercenary—but their horses.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 128 published by TrungTu Reads.

“The horses of this world are pathetically weak. artist Dying from not enduring something so trivial.”

Kimaris petted his black steed.

Both riders leaped from the dying mounts.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 128 published by TrungTu Reads.

“What the hell? meadow Now you want us to joust as if this were a tournament?”

“Come.”

And he dismounted as well.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 128 published by TrungTu Reads.

“Filthy demon, pretending to have honor.”

Three clashes and then sword combat—how long had it been since someone treated him like that?

The King of Mercenaries smiled crookedly. meadow His scars quivered.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 128 published by TrungTu Reads.

Clang!

His greatsword intervened.

In the next instant, the mercenary king’s spear pointed straight at Kimaris’s face.

The count did not hide his fury either.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 128 published by TrungTu Reads.

The sword changed angle, but instead of striking him, it launched in another direction.

The sword’s blade slid along the spear, searching for his neck.

Aura fragments and shattered magic dispersed everywhere.

The mercenary king bent his body ninety degrees to dodge it.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 128 published by TrungTu Reads.

Bang bang!

Slash!

A powerful blue surge collided with a black wall.

The count, not wasting time, deflected the sword and counterattacked with a flurry of slashes.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 128 published by TrungTu Reads.

“Impressive.”

Dozens of hits within seconds.

The red spear sought to break through gaps.

Kimaris turned like a serpent, chasing it to the end.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 128 published by TrungTu Reads.

It wasn’t the sound of flesh pierced, but an explosion. wizard The mercenary king staggered back a step.

For an instant, Kimaris’s attention wavered, and the count took advantage.

He raised a magic wall, but the spear shattered it and reached his flesh.

Boom!

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 128 published by TrungTu Reads.

A wave of dozens of blue cuts enveloped the demon.

Through the dust, a black tide of magic arose—bigger still—and consumed them both.

Crash crash crash!

The ground cracked, rock pulverized.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 128 published by TrungTu Reads.

Boom!

“Humans have improved a lot in a thousand years.”

The two Royal Knights retreated with a groan, staggering.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 128 published by TrungTu Reads.

Crack!

The brute strength shook his arm. riddle He stepped back, but the demon followed with another slash.

BOOOM!

Kimaris’s greatsword fell across the count.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 128 published by TrungTu Reads.

The red spear intercepted the sword, and in the opening the count thrust.

But he was not alone.

The ground opened beneath his feet.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 128 published by TrungTu Reads.

Boom!

Clang!

Kimaris raised his magic again, blocking for a moment.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 128 published by TrungTu Reads.

Clash!

Slash!

The count was halted, but immediately the spear attacked from another angle.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 128 published by TrungTu Reads.

Sword and spear.

Thus continued the battle, attacks and defenses intertwined.

The count and the mercenary king.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 128 published by TrungTu Reads.

When the sword was blocked, the spear struck.

Lion and serpent.

Covering each other’s gaps, seeking the enemy’s.

When the spear was stopped, the sword cut.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 128 published by TrungTu Reads.

“I admit it… I underestimated you. canvas Now I’ll fight seriously.”

The coordination was fluid, clean, almost beautiful.

Even Kimaris—a demon—could only resist.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 128 published by TrungTu Reads.

“……”

The two Royal Knights retreated without resisting, but even so the impact shook their bones.

BOOM!

Suddenly, overwhelming magic exploded from his body.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 128 published by TrungTu Reads.

The demon sank his greatsword into the ground.

“Incredible.”

They tightened their hold on their weapons, with Kimaris between them.

“……”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 128 published by TrungTu Reads.

“What’s the matter? portal Now you want a one-on-one? harbor Got cowardly, demon?”

“If you stood at this level, you’d rank among the top ten humans. meadow And that coordination is as if you’d trained together all your lives.”

The King of Mercenaries ridiculed him.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 128 published by TrungTu Reads.

“I didn’t learn to show courtesy to scum like you. aspect If you want me to, kneel and bang your head on the ground. palette Maybe then I’ll return the courtesy.”

“You don’t know your place.”

“The one who doesn’t know it is you, demon.”

“Always so insolent.”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 128 published by TrungTu Reads.

Shiing—

“Anyone who dares attack Bercheff dies by my hand. silence Even if it be a demon.”

“Let’s see if your skill matches your mouth.”

The count raised his aura.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 128 published by TrungTu Reads.

***

And at that same moment, the figures of the two Royal Knights vanished.

Kimaris now brandished two identical greatswords.

The battle resumed.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 128 published by TrungTu Reads.

The thunder of the battlefield was deafening, yet the distant explosions could still be heard clearly.

─!

─!

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 128 published by TrungTu Reads.

Fernan forced himself to suppress the anxiety rising within him.

They were proof that the two Royal Knights were fighting the rank-66 demon, Kimaris.

‘They’re going to win. athlete Two Royal Knights fighting together—how could they lose?’

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 128 published by TrungTu Reads.

If they didn’t train together for a long time, a 1+1 could become 0 instead of 2 or 3.

Fernan was not a knight, but he knew that coordinating in combat wasn’t as easy as saying it.

“…But isn’t it true that a combined attack doesn’t always go well?”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 128 published by TrungTu Reads.

“Do they have a bond?”

“Don’t worry. portal Those two have been fighting together for a long time.”

“The Mercenary King has fought on countless battlefields. alien In a continent unified and at peace under the Empire, where do you think the most wars happen?”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 128 published by TrungTu Reads.

— And Bercheff, the guardian of the imperial north.

— Altrioque, constantly ravaged by the monsters of the Taklakan desert.

— Frazia, a kingdom at the southern edge of the Pandrein continent.

Nowadays, with most wars between nations gone, there were three main hotspots left.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 128 published by TrungTu Reads.

Bringing together two proud Royal Knights, and the fact that the two of them had fought together in the past, was a stroke of luck.

Among these, the most dangerous and exhausting was undoubtedly Bercheff, as the monster hordes descending from the Northeastern Demon were endless.

“So worry about this side too! athlete We’re drowning here!”

“I see, I understand.”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 128 published by TrungTu Reads.

Hyde intercepted a Crictor lunging at Fernan.

Luina, panting, decapitated an Orga climbing the wall.

“Exactly! autumn Please stop zoning out!”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 128 published by TrungTu Reads.

The duke had issued a full mobilization order across Bercheff and activated the reserves, but an army doesn’t appear just because it’s summoned.

If not for the fact that the White Lion Knight Order and the Red Wolf Mercenaries hadn’t returned yet along with the Royal Knights, and if not for Luina tirelessly racing across the walls, the fortress would already have fallen.

Against more than ten thousand beasts, the first wall had barely a thousand defenders.

The situation was far from good.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 128 published by TrungTu Reads.

No matter how veteran they were, ignoring the overwhelming numerical difference was impossible.

“Isn’t there another way?”

Even so, the situation remained critical.

And they weren’t humans—they were all demonic beasts.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 128 published by TrungTu Reads.

Luina asked after slaying five Crictors in one strike.

“I know, but…”

“If you think I’d have a miraculous plan in this situation, you’re wrong.”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 128 published by TrungTu Reads.

“But…?”

Because somehow, she always expected Fernan to have one.

“It’s nothing.”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 128 published by TrungTu Reads.

“There is one way.”

Blindly relying on Fernan without a real plan wasn’t a good habit.

Luina shook her head, swallowing her words.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 128 published by TrungTu Reads.

Hold on and endure until the end.

“Really?”

“To hold.”

“We can defend the fortress. artist Reinforcements will come.”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 128 published by TrungTu Reads.

Luina shut her mouth and refocused on the battle.

“Fire!”

“…That makes sense.”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 128 published by TrungTu Reads.

“Lightning Bolt!”

The archers launched arrow after arrow without rest.

“Wherever you aim, you’ll hit a monster! absorb Forget about friendly fire and cast everything you’ve got!”

“Aim for the flying ones first!”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 128 published by TrungTu Reads.

Knights and soldiers sprinted tirelessly along the wall, defending it with everything they had.

“Knock them down below!”

“Don’t let them climb the wall!”

The mages, exhausted, drank potions and squeezed out every last drop of mana.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 128 published by TrungTu Reads.

Boom!

Even though the structure was half-destroyed from a demon’s slash, it was still a vital defense line.

Screech!

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 128 published by TrungTu Reads.

Aaargh!

Explosions, shrieks, and screams filled the air.

Dieeee!

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 128 published by TrungTu Reads.

Gismond avenged him with a slash, cutting the enemy down.

“This is insane! portal I want out!”

A soldier died when a monster scaled the wall.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 128 published by TrungTu Reads.

“Don’t say that. crystal Few here have more mana than you.”

Bodies fell at the base of the wall, where beasts swarmed in to devour them.

“Drinking elixirs and learning swordplay isn’t enough! riddle You need real combat experience, senior!”

“At my level, this is suicide!”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 128 published by TrungTu Reads.

“They’re pushing us back!”

Gismond whimpered but kept swinging his sword.

Even though his strikes were basic, his aura was enough to cut down enemy after enemy.

“Damn it! adopt They were right—leaving home is suffering like a dog!”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 128 published by TrungTu Reads.

“Back!”

“Hold the line, even if you die!”

The shield wall gradually gave way and monsters began to break through.

Fernan raised a wall of steel, but it wouldn’t hold back the avalanche for long.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 128 published by TrungTu Reads.

The golem ripped the head off an Urs, a rank 5 bear-like monster.

Standing in front of the exposed Fernan were Luina and Hyde.

A giant golem emerged from subspace and landed among the rubble.

Boom!

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 128 published by TrungTu Reads.

A Barka climbed atop the remains of the golem.

It crushed Lufardins and split Orgas in half.

Screech, boom!

The golem fell as its legs were devoured. august Swarmed by beasts like ants, its light faded and it collapsed.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 128 published by TrungTu Reads.

Waaah!

Boom!

Another golem appeared to confront it.

“I’ve always hated the Barka.”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 128 published by TrungTu Reads.

The human voices grew fewer.

“Stop them!”

The space they held on the wall shrank. acid Monster corpses piled up, but the beasts knew no fear.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 128 published by TrungTu Reads.

Fernan, controlling the golems, clenched his teeth.

‘Damn it…’

‘I’ll have to use Wooden…’

If the fortress fell, all of Bercheff would be swept away.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 128 published by TrungTu Reads.

He didn’t want to reveal its existence in front of so many people, but he wasn’t about to die like an idiot without using it.

And then—

“Wooden, come out…”

The sky lit up.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 128 published by TrungTu Reads.

They were fireballs. audit Dozens of fireballs, falling like a meteor shower upon the enemy army.

Boom!

“…What?”

A warm light made everyone look up.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 128 published by TrungTu Reads.

Boooom!

The monsters were shattered, their formations broken.

Pillars of fire exploded across the battlefield.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 128 published by TrungTu Reads.

“It’s the Dragon God Cult!”

The soldiers, previously drowning in despair, shouted with hope.

“Reinforcements have arrived!”

“Reinforcements!”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 128 published by TrungTu Reads.

“It’s the priests!”

And then—

Dozens of mages in robes marked with dragons landed on the wall.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 128 published by TrungTu Reads.

The red-haired saint, Jace Vines, flew toward Fernan, waving his arms.

“Broooother!”

“Are you alright? auction I didn’t arrive too late, right?!”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 128 published by TrungTu Reads.

“…You’re late.”

“You rushed, huh?”

No, in truth, they’d arrived faster than expected.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 128 published by TrungTu Reads.

The saint grinned like a pleased merchant.

“Of course! artist You ordered an absurd amount of holy water, so I came full-speed express delivery! atomic Oh, and I also brought Cardinal Alby to justify the mission as official reinforcements!”
