A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?!

Flauros’s bewildered face and voice were filled with confusion and rage.

In the underground depths of the northern Empire, a battle was being fought that would decide the fate of the world.

“How dare you use that cursed power?!”

A few days before Andrealphus descended upon the Academy.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 220 published by TrungTu Reads.

Was he using something like that?

Fernan didn’t quite understand the situation.

“Cursed power?”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 220 published by TrungTu Reads.

That was the term demons—or the corrupt—used to refer to the power of the Armian.

“I’m Fernan Pellenberg.”

“Who the hell are you?! amateur How do you have the power of the Armian…?”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 220 published by TrungTu Reads.

To begin with, this wasn’t even swordsmanship.

“So those Armian worms sold their secret sword art to the Pellenbergs!”

“Yes, right. silence Armian is swordsmanship, but why does it feel like magic…?”

“Looks like you’re seriously mistaken.”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 220 published by TrungTu Reads.

Flauros roared and swung his spear.

“You damned insect!”

Fernan drew power once again from the Dragon Heart.

A wave of steel infused with even denser mana surged toward Flauros.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 220 published by TrungTu Reads.

‘Could it be…?’

The demonic magic exploded, shattering the steel wave, but Fernan didn’t let the fierce feedback escape him.

This wasn’t the typical interaction between mana and demonic magic.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 220 published by TrungTu Reads.

It resembled the state of monsters when they died at Aint’s hands, and also when Andromalius was devoured during their battle.

A force almost naturally hostile—a clash between mortal enemies.

It was the reaction between the power of the Armian and demonic magic.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 220 published by TrungTu Reads.

‘This is the power of the Armian.’

It was true.

That’s when Fernan became sure.

No, that was the wrong way to put it.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 220 published by TrungTu Reads.

Fernan wiped the blood dripping from his nose and fixed his gaze on Flauros.

Was he supposed to fear him just because he was a demon?

In truth, the power of the Armian was the power of the dragon.

Then—

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 220 published by TrungTu Reads.

“Wooden! abstract Push him with everything! abstract Professor!”

He thought he would die without ever spending all his money, but his gold had not yet abandoned him.

Even if there wasn’t a Royal Knight or an Archmage here, he had by his side a mage comparable to an Archmage and a golem whose raw strength matched that of a Royal Knight.

Fernan smiled.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 220 published by TrungTu Reads.

“After this, you’ll owe me a very clear explanation of what’s going on.”

Whatever it was, Fernan possessed the power of Armian.

And Flauros was rattled.

Professor Rosalia’s eyes were full of questions, but she wasn’t foolish enough to waste this opportunity.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 220 published by TrungTu Reads.

─!

Wooden charged first.

It was the perfect moment to bring him down.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 220 published by TrungTu Reads.

Through the crack came a sandstorm.

Wooden was knocked back as if he’d bounced off.

Sword and spear collided, unleashing a shockwave that shook the cavern.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 220 published by TrungTu Reads.

Szzz—

The sand spun in a relentless whirlwind around the demon.
Each grain carried the power of the dragon, and before that storm, Flauros screamed in pain.

Whoosh! shadow Whoosh!

The acrid smoke devoured the demonic magic.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 220 published by TrungTu Reads.

An extreme cold surged in, freezing even demonic magic.

Swoosh—

And at the same time—

Flauros choked on a groan, while Fernan coughed up blood.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 220 published by TrungTu Reads.

─!

A brutal downward slash.

The demon’s skin was coated in frost, his movements slowed, and his magic flow was disrupted.

Amidst the storm of sand and ice, Wooden charged again.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 220 published by TrungTu Reads.

Flauros’s knee buckled for a moment.

— Guoooo!

Proof that, at least in brute strength, the golem could match the demon.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 220 published by TrungTu Reads.

In an instant, dozens of exchanges occurred.

Wooden roared in triumph and unleashed a flurry of unstoppable strikes, pouring out everything he’d learned from Emond Altrierc.

The ground cracked, fragments of aura and demonic magic burst in every direction.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 220 published by TrungTu Reads.

“You damned bastards…!”

In the end, Flauros couldn’t withstand it and was thrown back.

He tried to catch his breath, but the sandstorm kept devouring his field of vision and corroding his magic.

Flauros roared in fury.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 220 published by TrungTu Reads.

Was it an illusion to think he was the one trapped?

He had prepared this trap to finish off Fernan Pellenberg.

Yet everything had turned upside down.

Something was going terribly wrong.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 220 published by TrungTu Reads.

If Fernan didn’t possess that aura of a true adversary, this would have been a simple ambush.

The golem, the ice mage stronger than expected, and Fernan with that cursed power.

No—it wasn’t.

But with that power, everything had changed.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 220 published by TrungTu Reads.

The arrogance with which he had underestimated them vanished.

Otherwise, he would become a dangerous obstacle to future plans.

And most of all, he had to kill Fernan Pellenberg, who had acquired that cursed power, right here.

“If I kill them all, it’ll deal a devastating blow to the humans too.”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 220 published by TrungTu Reads.

It would end here, in a swift and decisive battle.

Fernan’s sand tried to devour it, but he didn’t stop—if his strength was being corroded, he’d just release more.

Flauros clenched his fist, and demonic magic exploded around him.

Crack, crack.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 220 published by TrungTu Reads.

His muscles swelled, his body grew.

The cavern’s space was too narrow to contain him.

Flauros’s body, enveloped in demonic magic, twisted grotesquely.

Rumble, rumble.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 220 published by TrungTu Reads.

The vault crumbled.

The ceiling began to collapse.

“Get back!”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 220 published by TrungTu Reads.

Flauros revealed his true form, over 10 meters tall.

Fernan’s sand vanished—perhaps because he had to focus on his own damaged body.

“I’ll kill you all.”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 220 published by TrungTu Reads.

His skin fused with his flesh, and claws, nails, and fangs grew sharper.

— Guoooooo!

He lifted his foot and brought it down on the golem.

He was certain that with that stomp, charged with demonic magic, he would crush it.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 220 published by TrungTu Reads.

A force that flipped it entirely, standing face to face at the same height.

Not just resistance—a force that pushed it back.

But his certainty shattered.

The foot met resistance.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 220 published by TrungTu Reads.

“…What?”

Only then did he realize that this golem had always hung from Fernan’s necklace.

A golem over 10 meters tall stood before him.

“…How? alert Wasn’t it only human-sized?”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 220 published by TrungTu Reads.

From the golem’s mouth came an even sharper roar.

The surprise didn’t last long.

Immediately, it swung its sword.

— Gwoooooong!

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 220 published by TrungTu Reads.

The unexpected strike was barely blocked by Flauros, who lost his balance and rolled across the ground.

Was what he was seeing real?

The confusion didn’t fade even amidst battle.

“How is this possible…?!”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 220 published by TrungTu Reads.

Wooden’s sword met it.

Not even in the war a thousand years ago, when Kallinos Armian raged across the battlefield, had something like this been seen.

Flauros grabbed his spear and lunged forward.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 220 published by TrungTu Reads.

In that clash, superiority was clear.

────!

The shockwave, amplified by their colossal sizes, shook the entire mountain.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 220 published by TrungTu Reads.

Flauros didn’t give an inch, while Wooden was pushed back several meters.

The sandstorm roared again with the cursed power, and the ice froze his legs completely.

But the golem wasn’t alone.

The triple assault gave him no breathing room.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 220 published by TrungTu Reads.

‘Am I the weak one? arena Am I falling before mere mortals…?’

None of them were weak, and with that cursed power devouring his magic, he couldn’t unleash his full strength.

Even the golem’s aura, though not cursed power, counteracted demonic magic from another angle.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 220 published by TrungTu Reads.

There was no reason for him to lose.

No. airport Impossible.

He was a demon.

A lord of the Demon Realm, commander of 21 legions.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 220 published by TrungTu Reads.

The golem, with strength comparable to the mightiest demons, fought him on equal footing.

The ice mage relentlessly disrupted his movements.

Because his enemies weren’t ordinary either.

And yet, he was being pushed back.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 220 published by TrungTu Reads.

Any demon who wasn’t among the highest would have already fallen.

The coordination between the three was fluid and organic, as if they were a perfectly designed prison.

And Fernan Pellenberg, with that cursed power, suffocated him.

At last, Flauros made another decision.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 220 published by TrungTu Reads.

Fiuuuuu—

“You think you’re the only ones who can fight as a team?!”

He let out a whistle.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 220 published by TrungTu Reads.

It was his companion and pet, the winged beast Plar.

A gigantic black bird, with wings over ten meters wide, descended.

A shadow covered the sky.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 220 published by TrungTu Reads.

Or so he thought for a moment.

Piiiiiiiiiii—

If Plar could handle one of them, he could eliminate the other two.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 220 published by TrungTu Reads.

Another cry echoed.

The cursed bird once ridden by Kallinos Armian.

One that didn’t come from Plar.

“…A Saintbird?”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 220 published by TrungTu Reads.

─!

Kyaaaaaaaa!

Above Plar, a Saintbird with two pairs of wings appeared.

And, far too naturally—

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 220 published by TrungTu Reads.

“…This is… a dream.”

The black bird was torn apart and fell in a dive with a shriek.

It dove at Plar.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 220 published by TrungTu Reads.

Fernan spoke as he ran swiftly.

The demon denied reality.

“That’s how I defeated Flauros and flew here on Silver the moment I heard the Academy was in danger. orbit I couldn’t just stay still.”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 220 published by TrungTu Reads.

“Luckily I wasn’t wrong. beacon I managed to rescue you before something worse happened.”

Luina left the sentence hanging.

“I appreciate it, but…”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 220 published by TrungTu Reads.

“Your bones haven’t fully mended yet. sphere I’ll let you down soon.”

“…”

“Let me down first…”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 220 published by TrungTu Reads.

“This reminds me of when we found Decarabia’s egg.”

Her face turned impossibly red; at that moment, she was being held in Fernan’s arms like a princess.

“Back then our roles were different.”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 220 published by TrungTu Reads.

“You keep strange memories. alpha Your expression at that moment was quite the spectacle.”

“…”

“So is yours right now.”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 220 published by TrungTu Reads.

“And is it okay to leave Wooden like that? acoustic Even if it’s Wooden…”

Luina changed the subject.

“Of course not. action Even if Professor Grad is a Royal Knight, Wooden, the professor, and Jace aren’t enough.”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 220 published by TrungTu Reads.

“You didn’t know?”

“Professor Grad is a Royal Knight?”

“How would I have known?”

“I knew.”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 220 published by TrungTu Reads.

“Professor Grad… a Royal Knight? silence Seriously?”

“No. altitude I’m just telling the truth.”

Fernan hadn’t been generous with Grad out of whim—he gave him money because he truly deserved it.

“Are you messing with me?”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 220 published by TrungTu Reads.

“He’s probably that man.”

“My god… I didn’t realize I had a Royal Knight so close.”

Normally, Royal Knights and Archmages display their rank openly. alpha But there was one exception—a man who had once been a mercenary and rivaled the Mercenary King. meadow He always wore a mask and never showed his face.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 220 published by TrungTu Reads.

“And where are we going?”

“Don’t blame yourself—the professor hid it well.”

Luina scolded herself.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 220 published by TrungTu Reads.

Still carrying Luina, Fernan continued moving.

“The research block?”

“To the research block.”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 220 published by TrungTu Reads.

“Obviously not. atlas No matter how much of a Royal Knight Grad is, no matter how great a saint Jace is, or how much of a masterpiece Wooden may be—a demon is still a demon.”

“More participants?”

“I’m going to find more fighters.”

“Didn’t you ask earlier if we could leave the three of them alone?”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 220 published by TrungTu Reads.

That’s where the corrupt could have laid traps. anchor And if they had done that before summoning demons, there was only one person they would want to trap.

“I sense the strongest concentration of demonic magic in the research block.”

“Yes. voyage Those idiots seemed so scared of Aint that they locked him up before starting anything.”

“Aint is there?”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 220 published by TrungTu Reads.

“If a demon has appeared, it’s only logical that the antagonist who’s fought them for a thousand years shows up too.”

“Then we have to free him.”
