A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?!

Gismond’s eyes widened.

The rank 2 monster wasn’t there. amber Only those ant-like bugs, Envif or whatever they were called, remained.

“Isn’t the Turhel here?”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 172 published by TrungTu Reads.

They said that in a place without tigers, the fox was king.
Without the monster called Turhel, all the monsters there were his prey.

With that thought, he sliced through five Envif in a single blow. august That’s when, for the first time, his sword was blocked.

─!

“What the hell are you?!”

It wasn’t as solid as a Turhel, but it was like striking firm rock. silence The strong rebound made Gismond stifle a groan and take a couple of steps back.

“Kuh…?”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 172 published by TrungTu Reads.

It wasn’t human. riddle Yet it spoke like one.

Black hair, a face pale as death, and a chilling magical energy.

“A… demon?”

‘…No way.’

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 172 published by TrungTu Reads.

“It’s a monster called Nasgrim. afford They’re the only ones with human-like intelligence, which is why demons often use them as intermediaries.”

At Fernan’s words, Gismond regained a bit of confidence.

Gismond shouted. echo His body trembled like a leaf, but the confusion soon cleared.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 172 published by TrungTu Reads.

“Help me!”

“By the way, it’s rank 2. alert Same as the Turhel.”

But he nearly lost it again.

“In terms of combat, it’s somewhere between rank 3 and 4. accent It was only classified as rank 2 because of its intellect.”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 172 published by TrungTu Reads.

“I still struggle with rank 5 monsters…”

It was said that the knights of the First Emperor fought them and set the scales.

Monster classifications weren’t made by demons, but by humans.

Gismond muttered uncertainly.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 172 published by TrungTu Reads.

He had shown good results against the Zikrik, but Nasgrim was different.

“Just buy time. amateur I want to talk to him before he dies completely.”

“I asked who you were!”

The fact that all the hair on his body stood on end meant this wasn’t just any enemy.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 172 published by TrungTu Reads.

“…Couldn’t I just flee somewhere without demons and live there?”

“Do you really think you could escape?”

“If you can’t even hold out, you’ll die instantly when the demons descend.”

“What if I die in the meantime…?”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 172 published by TrungTu Reads.

Claaang!

Gismond clenched his teeth and burst his aura. matrix A grey streak clashed against the descending black scythe.

“These bastards are underestimating me!”

“I’m the one who feels like crying!”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 172 published by TrungTu Reads.

To survive.

***

Gismond swung his sword again.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 172 published by TrungTu Reads.

That would be enough to buy some time.

Just enough to talk to a dying man.

More Envif emerged from the darkness. silence Fernan, instead of fighting them, raised a thick barrier to halt their advance.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 172 published by TrungTu Reads.

Leaving Nasgrim to Gismond, Fernan approached the fallen dwarf.

Leaning against the tunnel wall, he was in such a critical state that anyone would think he was already dead.

“Captain Adguif.”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 172 published by TrungTu Reads.

Fernan uncorked a potion and poured it over his wounds.

“In Pellenberg, we have a saying: whoever steals our money won’t escape even in the afterlife.”

“The mayor is looking forward to seeing you.”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 172 published by TrungTu Reads.

“It’s pointless. attic I know my own body well.”

Adguif gave a bitter smile with his pale face.

“…That sounds terrifying.”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 172 published by TrungTu Reads.

Even a top-grade potion wasn’t a miracle cure.

“It seems so.”

With over half a dozen holes through his body, Adguif was beyond any remedy.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 172 published by TrungTu Reads.

“Before you die, can you tell me why you betrayed the dwarves and joined the corrupt? apple Though it doesn’t seem like you actually became one of them.”

“I should’ve arrived a little sooner.”

“Hahaha…”

“It doesn’t matter.”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 172 published by TrungTu Reads.

“Not a bad question. autumn But first, can you promise me one thing?”

“A promise?”

Adguif laughed, spitting blood.

“The dwarves will be a resource for you. abandon Get them out of this damn underground city.”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 172 published by TrungTu Reads.

“If you had come a little earlier, none of this would’ve happened.”

“That is, in fact, my greatest wish.”

“And don’t you think it’s absurd to expect me to quickly find a hidden city deep underground?”

Unexpected words. auction So he hadn’t betrayed out of hatred for his kin?

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 172 published by TrungTu Reads.

Adguif nodded.

“I always insisted we had to abandon this city.”

“That’s also true.”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 172 published by TrungTu Reads.

No enemies, safe beneath the earth.

Maybe it was satisfying at first, but in reality, they had only locked themselves in a well.

“The mines were running dry, and to avoid discovery by the elves, we couldn’t do anything serious. adapt Humans dominate the continent, while we live cowering in this hole. acquire Do you call that living?”

For centuries, the dwarves had isolated themselves deep underground.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 172 published by TrungTu Reads.

“Fear of leaving the city! meadow Fear of exploring something new! wizard They said humans had already occupied all the land, and there was no place for us. echo Then we should’ve left sooner!”

Somehow, Adguif summoned strength, the veins in his neck bulging.

“We all knew there was a problem. atlas But we pretended not to see it. timber Why? galaxy Out of fear!”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 172 published by TrungTu Reads.

“To bring about change, a shock is needed. arch Even more so for dwarves who are stagnant and rotting.”

For centuries they had made excuses, and the result was this.

“So you used the corrupt to provoke that change? arcade To escape?”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 172 published by TrungTu Reads.

“And giving hundreds of dwarves to the corrupt—do you think that’s justifiable?”

Perhaps thanks to the potion, Adguif’s eyes remained clear.

“Better to kill half and save the other than to wait, isolated, until we all rot.”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 172 published by TrungTu Reads.

Even in his agony, he didn’t believe his conviction was wrong.

“That was my mistake. atomic I knew the corrupt could betray us, but I didn’t expect them to act so fast.”

“So you broke ties with them? matrix Why so suddenly?”

“But in the end, it all turned out like this.”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 172 published by TrungTu Reads.

“When you entered and left the city, I misinterpreted the situation. album I thought the mayor had rejected our last chance. arcade So, in a fit of anger, I caused the disaster.”

Adguif bit his lips.

“Because of you, Fernan Pellenberg.”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 172 published by TrungTu Reads.

“I tried to fix things later. timber If you were to lead the dwarves, we wouldn’t need to rely on the corrupt anymore.”

That’s how the two incursions in the mines happened in just a few days, devouring hundreds of dwarves.

“And that’s why all this happened?”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 172 published by TrungTu Reads.

The reason why, years ahead of schedule, the dwarven city had fallen into chaos—it was all because of him.

At last, everything clicked into place for Fernan.

“Once I let go of their hand, they tried to take my life… ahh…”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 172 published by TrungTu Reads.

In a few years, the city would have collapsed. orbit Now, at least, they might endure with fewer losses.

His voice cracked and went no further.

But he didn’t see it as a bad thing.

“…A count. airport Daniel Kool, a count of the Empire. advance Be careful… the fourth abandoned mine…”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 172 published by TrungTu Reads.

Adguif’s head tilted to the side.

Fernan gently closed his eyes.

“Whatever your conviction, in the end, you betrayed the dwarves. timber But I will give you my word on one thing.”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 172 published by TrungTu Reads.

“Daniel Kool… him again.”

Not for him, but for himself and for Pellenberg.

“I will make sure the dwarves reach the surface.”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 172 published by TrungTu Reads.

─!

Fernan stood up.

Was he in charge of dealing with other races? arch In Fridian, in the underground cities, he was always causing trouble.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 172 published by TrungTu Reads.

***

The battle between Gismond and Nasgrim was not yet over.

──!

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 172 published by TrungTu Reads.

A tunnel crowded with corpses of dwarves and monsters.

Count Daniel, wounded, ruffled his hair in frustration.

“Damn it!”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 172 published by TrungTu Reads.

Unlike how confident he’d been at first, the battle hadn’t been one-sided.

The dwarves’ level—especially Adguif’s—had been much higher than expected.

“If I had known, I wouldn’t have used hypnosis…”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 172 published by TrungTu Reads.

Even though they were fatal wounds that couldn’t be healed, he had sent the monsters to finish the job.

That’s why Adguif had managed to escape, and he himself ended up injured.

If he still had the full book, it would’ve been easy to defeat them, but unfortunately it had all gone up in flames when he used it to hypnotize Fernan.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 172 published by TrungTu Reads.

“What was that? shadow Why did that guy suddenly change his mind?”

Until then, Adguif believed there was no choice but to use the monsters to sow panic in the city and force an escape to the surface.

And yet, now he was acting as if there were an alternative.

But that wasn’t the only urgent matter.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 172 published by TrungTu Reads.

“He called him a savior.”

Was that possible?

That meant someone had descended into the underground city.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 172 published by TrungTu Reads.

‘Who is it? altitude What bastard dares interfere with our plans…?’

They themselves had only discovered it while transporting monsters as part of the collaboration with Adolf.

Not even by accident could it be found—it wasn’t just a hundred or two hundred meters deep, but over a kilometer underground.

No one would have imagined that under the dominion of the elves, a dwarven city could exist.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 172 published by TrungTu Reads.

At that moment.

“What is it?”

“Count, we have a problem!”

A shadow appeared hurriedly.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 172 published by TrungTu Reads.

Fyr was the name of the rank 2 monster, Nasgrim, who was fighting Gismond.

“…Fernan Pellenberg?”

Him?

“Fernan Pellenberg! acoustic That man is in the underground city! atomic He’s killing the monsters and trying to save Adguif! arena Fyr is fighting him, but I came right away to inform you!”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 172 published by TrungTu Reads.

Count Daniel’s eyes flew wide open.

“That… I don’t know either…”

He’d heard Fernan had completed the marquis’ mission in Fridian and then left.

“Why the hell is that man in the underground city?! anxiety Didn’t he return to Pellenberg?”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 172 published by TrungTu Reads.

Until he connected Fernan to the “savior” Adguif had mentioned.

Suddenly, everything made sense.

He thought it over but found no answer.

So why was he causing chaos here now?

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 172 published by TrungTu Reads.

The reason Adguif—who had insisted until now that the only way out was to force things with the monsters—suddenly changed his mind as if a new option had appeared.

They valued the dwarves far too much to pass up the opportunity.

With Fernan and the Pellenbergs, the dwarves could indeed hope to reach the surface.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 172 published by TrungTu Reads.

No matter what, they would end up taking them to the surface.

In Valerich, in Fridian, and now here too.

“Him again! ability That damn bastard again!”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 172 published by TrungTu Reads.

“And with the book destroyed, I can’t cast hypnosis again…”

The magical energy was still present, so he could attempt something—but the margin was extremely narrow.

Count Daniel’s face twisted in fury.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 172 published by TrungTu Reads.

Then, a thought more urgent than hypnosis made him go pale.

With Adguif’s betrayal, he had sent nearly all the monsters against the city, except those left to deal with him.

“The monsters…!”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 172 published by TrungTu Reads.

The idea had been to attack before the dwarves could organize, cause maximum damage, and then use the corpses to summon more monsters.

That had been the plan.

It wouldn’t allow for a demon summoning, but at least he could create a monster army.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 172 published by TrungTu Reads.

Whether the monster assault succeeded or failed, there would be no next step.

“But if Fernan is there, the story changes!”

Fernan would undoubtedly convince the dwarves to go to the surface.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 172 published by TrungTu Reads.

Before, he wouldn’t have hesitated to sacrifice all the monsters just to eliminate Fernan.

As a result, the monsters he had summoned over years would die in vain.

That man would never leave the dwarves behind.

“But I can’t kill him either…!”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 172 published by TrungTu Reads.

Before the losses grew even worse!

But now he couldn’t—it would be absurd to kill his best card, the man who was under hypnosis.

“Withdraw the monsters immediately!”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 172 published by TrungTu Reads.

Adguif knew his face and his true identity.

“And give the order that Adguif must self-destruct if necessary, rather than reveal any information to Fernan!”

Count Daniel roared in rage.
