A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?!

War was the clash of multitudes against multitudes.

But if that individual was a Royal Knight, recognized as the greatest knight on the continent by the Emperor himself.

For a single individual to change the course of a war was, generally speaking, impossible.

They could alter the battlefield by themselves, and that’s why they were called one-man armies.

The story changed a little.

If he was an Archmage, acknowledged by the Pope of the Dragon God Cult as the greatest sorcerer on the continent.

Countless fireballs rained down.

And right now, that miracle was unfolding before their eyes.

It was a disaster in itself.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 129 published by TrungTu Reads.

But that didn’t diminish the feat of the massive magic he was unleashing.

“Now’s the time to counterattack!”

Of course, the Archmage wasn’t entirely alone—dozens of priests from the Dragon God Cult were assisting him.

The lifeless eyes regained their light, the wounded grit their teeth and raised their swords and spears once more.

The morale of the soldiers, who had glimpsed a ray of hope, rose.

“Drive the monsters out!”

“Fight!”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 129 published by TrungTu Reads.

“…An Archmage? timber Shit, we’re saved…! alien Saved, damn it! arrow And they thought I’d die here?”

War was a matter of spirit.

Gismond raised his trembling hands and shouted in joy.

And the flame of Bercheff was burning once more.

“Gismond? autumn Ah, the one who did well in the jousting tournament! arch But why is he here?”

“Huh? antenna That face looks familiar, who is it?”

“That’s Senior Gismond.”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 129 published by TrungTu Reads.

“I brought him. attic How much holy water did you bring?”

“Well… I brought a lot, but…”

At those words, Jace brought his palms together and dodged the question.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 129 published by TrungTu Reads.

“I owed you four favors.”

“And who do you think you’re trying to haggle with?”

“You know monsters and the corrupted are popping up everywhere. beacon The demand for holy water skyrocketed, so the prices—well, they rose a bit, no, a lot…”

Fernan cut him off flatly.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 129 published by TrungTu Reads.

“I’m not asking for it free. abandon Just sell it at cost.”

“Don’t mix personal matters into public ones…”

“Did you digest the Itarium root well?”

“That…”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 129 published by TrungTu Reads.

“Then give me the equivalent amount of holy water for what the Itarium root was worth.”

“Brother, that I really can’t do!”

“Uhm…”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 129 published by TrungTu Reads.

At last, Jace nodded in resignation.

Jace averted his gaze. apple He knew exactly how valuable that root had been.

“…If I think of the root’s value, I’m not losing anything…”

“I’ll deduct two of the four favors. palette Give me as much holy water at cost as possible. acoustic That way you don’t lose out.”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 129 published by TrungTu Reads.

“You’re a true merchant, brother. voyage Alright, I’ll try.”

“Don’t say things even you don’t believe in.”

“The Dragon God will bless you.”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 129 published by TrungTu Reads.

And those high priests of the Cult were all top-tier sorcerers.

He replied bluntly.

“What I didn’t expect was to see Cardinal Alby here.”

“It’s a massive monster attack. voyage It’s precisely in moments like this that the Cult must step forward. meadow We’re only thirty, but they’re all high priests.”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 129 published by TrungTu Reads.

“Hahaha, we’re also interested in collecting some monster corpses. aspect For research…”

“Saint! advance Stop talking and come help us!”

“I don’t think that’s the only reason.”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 129 published by TrungTu Reads.

“Coming! arrow Brother, I’ll be right there!”

Startled, Jace ran toward the wall.

A priest’s voice interrupted from the wall.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 129 published by TrungTu Reads.

“Yes.”

“Yes.”

Fernan summoned more golems to cover the damaged wall.

“Luina, Hyde. accent We’re back in the fight.”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 129 published by TrungTu Reads.

The monsters, with their brutal endurance, pushed through the flames, but they did not emerge unscathed.

Outside, everything was a sea of fire.

But the situation was no longer the same.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 129 published by TrungTu Reads.

It was unclear how much time passed.

Still, they were monsters—the fight remained brutal.

Fwooooot—

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 129 published by TrungTu Reads.

Thud thud thud thud—

A trumpet sounded in the distance.

Cavalry thundered across the ground, and cheers filled the field.

“Reinforcements!”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 129 published by TrungTu Reads.

The Bercheff reinforcements had come.

***

“Reinforcements have arrived!”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 129 published by TrungTu Reads.

The reinforcements struck the monsters’ rear.

The tide of battle was turning.

The enemy lines became disordered, and the fortress gates opened so the soldiers could push out.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 129 published by TrungTu Reads.

Lacking fear, they weren’t easily swept away.

But even with retreat orders, the monsters didn’t back down.

However, the priests’ massive spells gradually tipped the balance.

“Hyde, Luina. palette Let’s go.”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 129 published by TrungTu Reads.

“Yes!”

Taking advantage of the distraction, Fernan left the fortress with both of them.

‘If, even by the slightest chance, the two Royal Knights lose, I must intervene immediately.’

He couldn’t contain his curiosity—he had to see how the real battle was going, the one that mattered.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 129 published by TrungTu Reads.

The roars and explosions still rumbled.

“This is it.”

Even if he had to use Wooden, the demon had to die.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 129 published by TrungTu Reads.

The once ordinary plain was now a scorched battlefield.

There they were.

And at the center of it all.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 129 published by TrungTu Reads.

The blue and red auras, mixed with black magic, covered the entire plain, unleashing shockwaves that reached even Fernan from afar.

“…Are they doing it?”

Their movements were so fast Fernan could barely follow. matrix Brutal. galaxy Dangerous.

Two knights and a demon.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 129 published by TrungTu Reads.

Fernan muttered, uneasy.

Boom!

***

As much as he wanted to think positively, the battle didn’t look favorable.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 129 published by TrungTu Reads.

Sword and spear met.

─!

The swords clashed.

They traced lethal paths, aiming for the enemy’s vital points.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 129 published by TrungTu Reads.

“Fine, I admit your combined attack exceeds my expectations.”

“Ugh…!”

At the same time, the Mercenary King’s spear tore a wound into his own body.

A quick body twist left only a fine slash of blood.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 129 published by TrungTu Reads.

Kimaris growled in a low, savage voice.

Quite the opposite—the count and the Mercenary King were in worse condition.

Even so, he didn’t look like he was losing.

His armor was shattered, his helmet torn off, and his grotesque face laid bare.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 129 published by TrungTu Reads.

He unleashed a burst of demonic magic.

“But even so, I am Kimaris! meadow I will never lose to mere inferior humans!”

The two Royal Knights quickly dodged, but he followed instantly.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 129 published by TrungTu Reads.

Clang!

“Where’s that confidence from before, Mercenary King? matrix Did you think leading a bunch of trash made you someone important?”

Spinning swiftly, his sword hit and sent him flying with a groan.

The count barely managed to block the slash. admire The Mercenary King struck at his exposed back, but Kimaris reacted to even that.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 129 published by TrungTu Reads.

Spitting blood, the Mercenary King got back on his feet.

“What a load of crap.”

“Even to the end, all you do is talk. atlas Fine, I’ll praise you for that. arena For a human to boast in front of me is already a feat.”

“Of course. canvas The title of Mercenary King isn’t won by playing cards.”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 129 published by TrungTu Reads.

At that moment, the count stomped the ground.

In that brief pause in words, he exchanged a glance with the count.

“Do you really call that praise? orbit You must be insane…”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 129 published by TrungTu Reads.

“…Or not?!”

The demon reacted as before, but the mercenary’s counterattack was different—he ducked and dodged, the spear slithered like a viper and smashed his leg.

He charged at Kimaris again, and the spear attacked from behind.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 129 published by TrungTu Reads.

As he flinched, the count unleashed a flurry of slashes.

“…Incredible.”

“Yes…”

Luina murmured unconsciously.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 129 published by TrungTu Reads.

It was as if sword and spear had always been one weapon—they covered, hid, and complemented each other without getting in the way.

Natural like a river, furious like a storm, violent like a tidal wave.

The combined attack looked like it was about to break—but it held.

Even Fernan, who wasn’t an expert in swordsmanship, could see it clearly.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 129 published by TrungTu Reads.

“Years together?”

“…It’s like that sword and that spear were born to be together.”

“I’d heard my father and the Mercenary King shared the battlefield for years in their youth, but I didn’t think it was this much…”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 129 published by TrungTu Reads.

The problem was, even so, the demon wouldn’t fall.

That explained the coordination bordering on art.

“Yes.”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 129 published by TrungTu Reads.

“Is your memory disposable? academy Did you forget you were defeated and cast into hell a thousand years ago?”

“…You dare speak words you shouldn’t.”

“Congratulations! artist No non-demon has entertained me as much as you two.”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 129 published by TrungTu Reads.

“I’ll tear your corpse apart and feed it to the Hellhounds.”

The tension rose.

The Mercenary King struck Kimaris’s most sensitive nerve.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 129 published by TrungTu Reads.

A devastating explosion engulfed everything in darkness.

Boom!

Suddenly, the world turned black.

A massive torrent of demonic magic fell upon them.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 129 published by TrungTu Reads.

“Hold on! album If you go now, you’ll die!”

“Father…!”

Only flashes of blue and red flickered intermittently.

Luina screamed, and Fernan grabbed her tightly to stop her from running.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 129 published by TrungTu Reads.

When the darkness dissipated—

“Cough…!”

Crunch—

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 129 published by TrungTu Reads.

The scene before them turned them cold.

The Mercenary King’s spear was broken.

He fell to the ground, coughing blood.

His chest bore a deep wound.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 129 published by TrungTu Reads.

But it wasn’t a defeat.

The count’s sword pierced through Kimaris’s chest.

The demon trembled and vomited blood.

“Guh…?”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 129 published by TrungTu Reads.

Taking advantage of that sacrifice, the count had driven his sword into his heart.

“Hahaha… that’s how a combined attack is done, you senile demon.”

The Mercenary King’s broken spear was stuck in Kimaris’s foot, pinning him to the ground.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 129 published by TrungTu Reads.

“I… me, defeated by mere humans…!”

“Damn you…!”

The count pulled out his sword. meadow Kimaris’s body staggered.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 129 published by TrungTu Reads.

A blue flash decapitated the demon.

“Ah.”

Slash!

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 129 published by TrungTu Reads.

“Father…”

Fernan and Luina collapsed in relief.

“Ah.”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 129 published by TrungTu Reads.

“…We won.”

Luina exhaled upon seeing he was alive.

They had really won.

They had killed a demon—not a weakened one, but a complete one.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 129 published by TrungTu Reads.

Without Aint.

Fernan overflowed with euphoria.

Even without the Contradictor, humans were not powerless.

‘There is hope…’

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 129 published by TrungTu Reads.

And then he heard the voices of the Royal Knights.

Both of them, battered and bloodied, collapsed.

“Damn it, when was the last time we fought like that? adapt I’m exhausted.”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 129 published by TrungTu Reads.

“This is serious. matrix We need to return as soon as possible. ability The demon’s corpse is mine.”

“Not really. shadow If I don’t get treated soon, I’ll die.”

“Says who?”

“You okay?”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 129 published by TrungTu Reads.

“Same to you.”

“If not for me, you wouldn’t have killed it.”

“Obviously. shadow It fell on Bercheff’s land.”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 129 published by TrungTu Reads.

“I’ll give it to the Pellenbergs. action They’ll appreciate its value. avalanche And I need to reduce my house’s debts…”

“Since when are you this greedy?”

The Mercenary King frowned.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 129 published by TrungTu Reads.

“……”

The count stared in disbelief.

But at that moment, Kimaris’s body disintegrated into dust. abstract So did his black horse.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 129 published by TrungTu Reads.

The count threw him a potion.

“Haha… What a funny phenomenon, don’t you think? palette Cough, gah…”

The Mercenary King coughed blood as he laughed.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 129 published by TrungTu Reads.

If demons left behind corpses, he would already have Andromalius, the serpent, Kimaris, and the black horse.

As soon as it was all over, he remembered what he’d lost.

Fernan, who had almost had the corpse in his hands, let out a bitter laugh.

“…Ridiculous.”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 129 published by TrungTu Reads.

“They’re not yours, young master.”

“…My treasures.”

“Shut up, Hyde.”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 129 published by TrungTu Reads.

“First, we need to save the Mercenary King.”

Fernan gnashed his teeth.

“Even tigers leave their skin when they die, and these bastards leave nothing…?”

His hatred toward demons deepened.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 129 published by TrungTu Reads.

While in the imperial north they fought and dealt with the aftermath of battle.

Fernan took out a supreme potion from his subspace and ran toward him.

He was on the verge of death.

In the Kingdom of Frazia, a hunt for the corrupt was also underway.

“Kill all the corrupt! riddle Aint Armian is with us!”

The holy light of Aint illuminated the field, driving out the darkness.

“Kill the monsters!”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 129 published by TrungTu Reads.

Veteran mercenaries followed in his footsteps.

“…We arrived late.”

The fight didn’t last long: there were barely any enemies left.

Monsters fell, corrupt ones were decapitated.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 129 published by TrungTu Reads.

It wasn’t surprising—Aint had already destroyed five of their refuges in Frazia.

Valoshi approached his side.

Most had already fled their hideouts.

“With this, the rest surely went into hiding too.”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 129 published by TrungTu Reads.

“But it feels like we’ve barely scratched the surface…”

“I know.”

“We can’t touch Frazia’s nobles. galaxy Even if you’re a famous hero, attacking the nobility of another kingdom would cause a diplomatic problem.”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 129 published by TrungTu Reads.

He tracked them, discovered they were infiltrated throughout the kingdom, and tried to exterminate them—but couldn’t.

Aint sighed.

He had come to Frazia by chance, stumbling upon the corrupt.

— Frazia is already infested. adapt There are surely powerful people involved.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 129 published by TrungTu Reads.

The Kingdom of Frazia wasn’t cooperating, and Aint couldn’t go noble by noble demanding tests.

The problem was the lack of solid evidence.

— Doesn’t matter if they’re corrupt or just accomplices. sphere They all deserve to die.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 129 published by TrungTu Reads.

“Perfect. galaxy Let’s grab a dark beer.”

“Aint, what will you do now?”

Varus, disciple of the Mercenary King, carrying his spear over his shoulder, joined them.

“Let’s go back.”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 129 published by TrungTu Reads.

“Drinking never gets old. amateur Mercenaries and alcohol are inseparable.”

Aria, the companion who had followed Aint since the academy, frowned.

“Drinking again? wizard Don’t you ever get tired of it?”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 129 published by TrungTu Reads.

“Let’s go. amber I need beer too, after all this dirt in my mouth.”

“That’s it, Verian! airport Someone who gets it. abstract Though this little rich kid probably looks down on cheap liquor.”

“You say nonsense with too much confidence.”

She smiled.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 129 published by TrungTu Reads.

“Advice from a great house is a precious thing. atomic You’re welcome.”

Suddenly, Valoshi frowned.

“One day your tongue will get you in trouble, Varus.”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 129 published by TrungTu Reads.

— It’s from Bercheff. atom From that rich guy?

“A letter?”

“Sir Aint, a letter has arrived for you.”

They returned to the Ramons mercenary guild.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 129 published by TrungTu Reads.

[Aint. apron We found a demon egg in the north. adapt The border count and the Mercenary King tried to destroy it but failed—we need the power of Armian, the natural enemy of demons. accent That’s why…]

— So they took it before he could incarnate. athlete You want to destroy it yourself?

— If it’s an egg, it must be Decarabia’s. adjust Only he descends through that type of vessel.

It was from Fernan.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 129 published by TrungTu Reads.

That same day, Aint set off for the north.

An offer impossible to refuse.

— Come without fail! alert It’s a one-time chance to take down a demon.

The letter was long, but the point was clear.
