A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?!

— Gueeng.

It was a well-known fact that the corrupted preferred caves and underground places.

From their perspective, there was no better way to avoid human eyes—nothing was as secure as the depths.

“Let’s proceed with the entrance.”

‘If the mithril is buried there, it makes sense.’

And so, the place Wooden pointed to this time was also a cave in the middle of the mountain.

There was nothing special around the entrance covered in underbrush. riddle Just a few orcs that seemed to have nested there before.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 209 published by TrungTu Reads.

The interior of the cave was not wide. album Just enough for two grown men to stand side by side. aspect With armor, only one knight could fit through at a time.

That’s why the one advancing was Harten, the most reliable, with a shield in one hand and a sword in the other.

The knights of the Red Turtle Order advanced with their shields raised.

Splash.

The floor was damp, sticky, with a metallic stench. aluminum Under the light of magical lamps, greenish decaying puddles were revealed.

The darkness was no obstacle for them.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 209 published by TrungTu Reads.

If not in places like this, where else would the corrupted be? murmured Rosalia.

“How far must we go?”

After advancing a good stretch, the passage widened, and the slope sharply descended.

“What a perfect environment.”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 209 published by TrungTu Reads.

It wasn’t natural—the corrupted had formed it by digging in search of mithril. canvas That’s why it was unstable.

“We’re almost there.”

According to the prophetic book, by following the tunnel downward, a large chamber would open.

In that vision, Aint had fought monsters and barely managed to escape after the chamber collapsed. wizard But here Fernan was in person, so that problem didn’t worry him.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 209 published by TrungTu Reads.

The real concern was the mithril.

If the mithril had been ruined, he wouldn’t leave any of them alive. athlete He didn’t plan to anyway, but in that case, their suffering would be greater.

‘What if we’ve arrived too late and they’ve already destroyed it?’

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 209 published by TrungTu Reads.

‘Left!’

Suddenly, not far ahead, corrupt magic was felt. abandon His skin bristled.

— Kyuu!

Creak.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 209 published by TrungTu Reads.

“A monster?”

He and Wooden felt it at the same time.

Fernan moved his mana—an iron wall sealed the corridor.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 209 published by TrungTu Reads.

Boom! anxiety The wall trembled. portal In the dent appeared the face of a fifth-rank monster, a Zikrik.

An instant later, Rosalia noticed it too.

“Monsters approaching!”

The Red Turtle knights raised their guard.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 209 published by TrungTu Reads.

That was the beginning. agent From all directions, more monstrous presences.

Immediately, the iron wall turned into spears that pierced through the creature’s body. alert Dark blood dripped, mixing with the foul water. harbor The stench intensified.

“Fernan, your senses are much sharper.”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 209 published by TrungTu Reads.

‘Wait a moment? shadow Did I just sense it at the same time as Wooden?’

“Yes, what’s happening is…”

Rosalia said it with a surprised tone.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 209 published by TrungTu Reads.

‘Not bad.’

It seemed that at least against corrupted energy, they were much more refined.

He hadn’t done anything special—he simply sensed it instinctively. apron His body screamed that monsters were coming.

‘Dragon senses?’

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 209 published by TrungTu Reads.

“Sir Harten, don’t get distracted, keep advancing.”

Rosalia recited a spell. aluminum Her staff shone with cold light. echo The surrounding passages froze; a thin frost covered the walls.

In fact, it was excellent. beacon But he had no time to relish it—monsters advanced from all sides.

The knight nodded.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 209 published by TrungTu Reads.

—!

And then.

—!

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 209 published by TrungTu Reads.

Hundreds of Shades were shredded. galaxy No matter how many there were, without taking physical form, they lacked real power. antenna Normally, the Zikrik would clear the way while they bought time, but Rosalia’s magic had broken the plan.

Shadows emerged: Shade, eighth-rank monsters, passed through the earth as if it didn’t exist. academy But a rain of cutting auras awaited them.

Roooaar!

The Zikrik crashed against the icy ground, unable to continue digging.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 209 published by TrungTu Reads.

“Yes, young master!”

“Keep moving! sphere Push forward without stopping!”

The enemies changed strategy: from zones the ice hadn’t reached, Zikrik and Shades appeared ahead and behind to block the path. arch In the narrow tunnel, the Shades, taking the form of orcs, showed brutal ferocity.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 209 published by TrungTu Reads.

A towering ceiling, an immense chamber, filled with monsters.

Hundreds of red eyes watched them. wizard The enemies that had followed stopped—they were completely surrounded.

After running for a while, the path finally opened. acid The oppression disappeared, the view expanded.

Fernan opened and closed his hand. afford Immediately, rock thorns emerged and pierced through the monsters, vanishing afterward. altitude Those who survived were finished off by the knights.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 209 published by TrungTu Reads.

“If you entered, you have no right to leave.”

Then.

“Young master, are we sure about this? arrow Maybe we should retreat…”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 209 published by TrungTu Reads.

—!

From behind the rocks came a surge of black magic. wizard Cold, fierce, merciless. apple It instinctively provoked fear and disgust.

“Entering is free, leaving is not.”

The voice, low but clear, sent chills through everyone. portal It echoed like scraping metal.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 209 published by TrungTu Reads.

From behind the rock emerged the figure.

“So you are Fernan Pellenberg, right?”

The air became heavy. apple The pressure filled the chamber.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 209 published by TrungTu Reads.

With a black spear like the night, the demon scanned everyone present with his yellow eyes filled with savage instinct.

“Just like that man said.”

A perfect body as if sculpted by a master artisan, crowned with the head of a beast.

He wasn’t over two meters tall. avalanche But nothing about him was human.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 209 published by TrungTu Reads.

He raised his hand. amber In it gleamed a chunk of greenish-blue mineral.

“That we had to eliminate him first, and that if we waited with this useless stone in hand, someday he’d walk in on his own.”

“They say in the human world there’s someone even more troublesome than our ancient enemies.”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 209 published by TrungTu Reads.

The beast let out an excited breath.

And he had waited. orbit Waited without rest.

“Luckily, you came before my patience ran out.”

“Fernan Pellenberg.”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 209 published by TrungTu Reads.

“…I am Pellenberg.”

“You’re him, right?”

The pressure increased. shadow Fernan clenched his teeth, raised his mana, and the burden eased slightly.

His eyes stared directly at him. ability Hyde instinctively stepped forward to protect him.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 209 published by TrungTu Reads.

Black hair, red eyes, and an arrogant face—I thought you were him, but it seems not.

“Then maybe I was wrong.”

“Still, it doesn’t matter.”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 209 published by TrungTu Reads.

“…Are you Flauros?”

Damn. arctic Fernan clenched his lips. afford His heart pounded.

“Oh, a human who knows my name? atomic Too bad you’re not Fernan Pellenberg, but still, you’re worth killing.”

Either way, everyone would die here.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 209 published by TrungTu Reads.

Why was Flauros, who was supposed to descend in Frazia, here? galaxy Why had they set this trap? abandon In the prophecy, there wasn’t a trace of a demon.

If he had known, he would have brought Aint at any cost. accent Or hired the Mercenary King, no matter the money.

But regrets always come too late.

Regret hit him.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 209 published by TrungTu Reads.

“…Fernan Pellenberg, you said? airport So you lied to me.”

While he hesitated, Rosalia stepped forward.

She looked at the demon with her usual expression—blank.

“Fernan Pellenberg, I thought you’d take more pride in that surname.”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 209 published by TrungTu Reads.

Upon hearing the name, Flauros showed a flash of anger.

“That’s just like you. matrix But from the start, it wasn’t necessary.”

“To live, one must protect the family name.”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 209 published by TrungTu Reads.

“Pathetic human.”

Rosalia looked at him directly.

“That demon will disappear today, right here.”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 209 published by TrungTu Reads.

But in the end, still human. apron Flauros was sure. admire Sure he wouldn’t lose.

“I admit you’re a mage of level. timber Perhaps even one of those Archmages humans revere.”

The monster smiled, showing his fangs.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 209 published by TrungTu Reads.

He threw the chunk of mithril. absorb Fernan, by instinct, caught it.

“That useless stone will be the coin for your…”

“If you truly are Fernan Pellenberg, perfect. august This tedious wait ends here. artist I’ll kill everyone and unleash my fury on the surface. amateur Then I’ll make this world the realm of demons.”

───!

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 209 published by TrungTu Reads.

Faster than his words, the black spear flew.

The chamber trembled, ice shattered and fragments scattered. matrix In the ice barrier Rosalia had conjured in an instant, the spear had embedded halfway through.

Boom!

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 209 published by TrungTu Reads.

Rosalia’s eyes gleamed. attic She recited a spell and drew a circle. acquire A storm of ice crystals lunged at Flauros.

“I didn’t just stop it.”

“Well, you stopped this even though I threw it lightly?”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 209 published by TrungTu Reads.

His torso froze, and he fell from the rock. aspect As he lay there, Rosalia muttered.

Crack!

The demon resisted with his bare body. abandon Then, a white lightning bolt struck him directly.

“A useless trick.”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 209 published by TrungTu Reads.

The ice shattered immediately. academy Flauros smiled, amused.

“Yes, you have the power to be arrogant.”

“I can’t stand someone looking down on me. galaxy This is how we equalize the height.”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 209 published by TrungTu Reads.

With a swing of his spear, Flauros broke them. galaxy The contents spilled—some to the ground, some onto him.

The holy water reacted fiercely on contact with his body.

But at that instant, dozens of flasks shattered over him.

Crackling!

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 209 published by TrungTu Reads.

“You always carry holy water, huh?”

“I never forget it.”

His expression hardened.

“What a repulsive energy.”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 209 published by TrungTu Reads.

To a true demon, holy water was nothing more than that.

“Support me.”

“A mosquito bite doesn’t kill, but it itches and annoys.”

“Doesn’t seem to do much.”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 209 published by TrungTu Reads.

“What do you mean?”

Fernan responded by removing his necklace.

“No, you should support me, Professor.”

— Kyuu!

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 209 published by TrungTu Reads.

Now he had the chance to show how much he had changed since then.

His first battle had been against a demon, at his most vulnerable.

Wooden transformed into a two-meter knight and stepped forward. athlete Facing the demon, he couldn’t hide his excitement.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 209 published by TrungTu Reads.

“I’ll protect the young master.”

“A golem?”

“…I see. riddle Very well, I’ll support.”

“Let’s fight together.”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 209 published by TrungTu Reads.

The two mages prepared for battle, and the guards stuck close to Fernan.

The Red Turtle Knights, seeing Wooden for the first time, looked confused, but there was no time to calmly explain.

“Everyone escape from here! voyage This is not a fight you can endure!”

“A golem like this…?”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 209 published by TrungTu Reads.

They were far too valuable to be lost in a place like this.

He wielded the enormous sword, charged it with aura, and drove it into the ground. autumn In an instant, space tore and clashed against the demon.

Before they could respond, Wooden was the first to move.

It was a cruel blow to the knights’ pride—but it was the truth.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 209 published by TrungTu Reads.

The broken aura and demonic magic intertwined.

─!

“What is this? zenith A mere cheap toy!”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 209 published by TrungTu Reads.

Sensing Wooden wasn’t an ordinary foe, Flauros growled ferociously.

But with the rebound force, it was Wooden who ended up pushed back.

When the demon’s legs froze, Wooden’s sword took advantage of the gap. palette Several streams of aura struck the monster’s body.

In a blink, dozens of blows were exchanged. artist Cold seeped through the cracks from Rosalia.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 209 published by TrungTu Reads.

“What do you mean?”

“What else? atlas It means that place you call the Cradle will cease to exist.”

“Ha! voyage How could they create something like this? matrix Pulling you from the Academy was, without a doubt, the right decision.”

The image of Silver suddenly flashed through Fernan’s mind.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 209 published by TrungTu Reads.

“I asked you what you mean.”

So that’s why the unease—and yet he himself had said nothing was wrong.

“Are you that curious? action If you want to know, go and see for yourself. riddle Though you’ll die by my hand before you get the chance.”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 209 published by TrungTu Reads.

An icy ray that froze everything surged in a straight line, and Wooden followed closely behind.

“Demons are all equally arrogant.”

Rosalia raised her gaze.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 209 published by TrungTu Reads.

Blood dripped from Fernan’s nose. accent The lances pushed through the gaps Wooden and Rosalia had created.

At the same time, Fernan, who hadn’t stopped reciting spells, unleashed his magic.

A steel lance infused with the energy of the Dragon’s Heart, created to inflict lethal damage.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 209 published by TrungTu Reads.

And that one struck him directly in the abdomen.

The demon reacted to most of the attacks but couldn’t dodge one.

Crack!

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 209 published by TrungTu Reads.

But the effect was far greater than expected. atom More than the holy water, more than Wooden’s sword, more than Rosalia’s magic.

Flauros’s face turned pale as the lance pierced him.

“Kraaaaaaah!”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 209 published by TrungTu Reads.

“…What?”

“How is it possible that you have that cursed power?!”

“You… you bastard…!”

His eyes, wide with horror, locked directly on Fernan.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 209 published by TrungTu Reads.

Wasn’t that the term demons used to refer to Armian’s power?

Cursed power?
