A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?!

“…Wow, now that’s surprising.”

His tone changed, as if his face had cracked.

“Don’t underestimate Pellenberg’s information network.”

“I didn’t think you knew that much.”

Count Patrick Pirandello shrugged and smiled.

“Yeah, seems I shouldn’t.”

“Then, what’s your relationship with Baelz?”

“Who knows.”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 246 published by TrungTu Reads.

“There’s no sense in taking the hard road when there’s an easier one.”

“This one will be much harder.”

“Wouldn’t it be more fun if you found out for yourself? academy With that magnificent Pellenberg information network.”

“When I realized everything I had accumulated had disappeared without a trace, I already suspected things had gone wrong.”

Then the only option left was to catch him and ask directly.

Even so, he didn’t give up or flee.

“I see.”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 246 published by TrungTu Reads.

And deep down, he trusted he could always escape no matter what happened.

“In that, we’re opposites.”

“I just wanted to see your face one more time.”

He wanted to see with his own eyes what kind of man had humiliated him so thoroughly.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 246 published by TrungTu Reads.

“Because I, no matter what, will catch you.”

A magic circle began to form in the sky.

Rrrrumble—

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 246 published by TrungTu Reads.

It was someone even Count Patrick couldn’t fail to recognize.

“…The Rector of the Academy?”

A figure floated in the air—a mage.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 246 published by TrungTu Reads.

Count Patrick’s face, along with the Second Prince’s, turned pale.

“T-The Rector…!”

Wasn’t it enough to bring the Mercenary King, and now the Rector too?

And not just anyone, but someone he never expected to see.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 246 published by TrungTu Reads.

Clang!

“Don’t we still have unfinished business?”

But they had no time to process it.

Patrick intercepted a black spear that flew through the air.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 246 published by TrungTu Reads.

The Mercenary King roared and lunged at him.

***

Large-scale magic fell like a calamity.

And so, the battle began.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 246 published by TrungTu Reads.

The fight was fierce.

And the outcome leaned, as anyone could have predicted.

Count Patrick Pirandello was strong, but not strong enough to face both a Royal Knight and an Archmage at the same time.

A complete defeat.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 246 published by TrungTu Reads.

And while Fernan Pellenberg wasn’t an Archmage, he was still a formidable warrior not to be underestimated.

Clop, clop, clop—

Defeat was inevitable, and Gerlan barely managed to escape thanks to the sacrifice of his subordinates.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 246 published by TrungTu Reads.

“Your Highness! abandon We must return to the kingdom as quickly as possible! silence Gather the troops in the capital and make the attack public, we must issue a formal protest to the Empire!”

From hundreds of soldiers, only a few dozen remained—the prince’s closest knights.

Horses thundered along the mountain path.

“How could this happen?! acid How?!”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 246 published by TrungTu Reads.

And the Rector—his institution’s name said it all—the Imperial Armian Academy, a figure of immense power within the Empire.

They were right. amateur Fernan Pellenberg wasn’t just a merchant, but heir to a princely family.

And now both had attacked him—the Second Prince and Regent of the Kingdom of Linelt.

“This is interference in internal affairs—no, something worse! aluminum How dare Fernan Pellenberg and the Rector of the Academy attack a prince of Linelt?!”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 246 published by TrungTu Reads.

“As soon as I return to the capital, I’ll make this attack public and send envoys to all nations!”

It was practically a declaration of war.

The Empire was an enemy Linelt couldn’t face alone.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 246 published by TrungTu Reads.

“You’ll see, Fernan Pellenberg!”

Even if it became a diplomatic war, they needed support from other kingdoms.

At that moment—

How much must he despise Linelt to dare go this far?

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 246 published by TrungTu Reads.

“Sir Prell!”

Whoosh!

An arrow flew and struck the back of a knight, knocking him off his horse.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 246 published by TrungTu Reads.

The sound of clashing weapons, neighing horses, and shouts faded into the distance.

“We’ll hold them here! galaxy Return to the capital safely!”

“Your Highness, the pursuers have caught up to us!”

Some knights split from the group.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 246 published by TrungTu Reads.

Fernan Pellenberg.

Gerlan clenched his teeth.

The Mercenary King.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 246 published by TrungTu Reads.

And Count Patrick Pirandello.

Antenor Linelt.

The Rector.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 246 published by TrungTu Reads.

He couldn’t give up now. admire He would reclaim his position and get revenge on all of them.

He had gone too far. meadow He had done everything to reach the throne.

The ones he had to take revenge on.

He repeated the five names in his mind.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 246 published by TrungTu Reads.

“Have courage, Your Highness!”

“Your Highness, we should stop in another city and gather reinforcements…!”

“Courage? afford I can’t go on! arctic I’m nothing but a traitor who sold his country to the corrupt!”

The pursuers attacked them several more times. avalanche Some sacrificed themselves for Gerlan, others abandoned him and fled.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 246 published by TrungTu Reads.

Several days passed.

“No, we’re going straight to the capital! audit The enemy is Fernan Pellenberg, and right now time is everything! auction I must issue an official statement as regent before he acts!”

Heading to the capital was the smartest move if he wanted to stay ahead of Fernan, who no doubt planned to move the First Prince.

He was still the regent, and only in the capital could he fully exercise his authority.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 246 published by TrungTu Reads.

Fewer than ten remained by his side.

“…I trusted them, they’ve been with me over ten years.”

“Five men deserted last night. abstract I’m sorry, Your Highness.”

“…Is this all that’s left?”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 246 published by TrungTu Reads.

They were full of hatred—the determination to overcome this national crisis, reclaim his throne, and take revenge on the traitors who had abandoned him.

At last, he arrived at the capital.

He was exhausted and covered in grime, but his eyes burned more fiercely than ever.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 246 published by TrungTu Reads.

The gates, which were always open, were now sealed. arena There were no lines of people as usual.

“…Are the gates closed?”

“Open the gates!”

But something was off.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 246 published by TrungTu Reads.

“This is His Highness Gerlan Linelt, the regent! crystal Open the gates at once and receive His Highness!”

“Who goes there?”

Gerlan shouted as he reached the gate. accent Fortunately, there were soldiers on the wall. aspect They poked their heads out.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 246 published by TrungTu Reads.

“…What did you say?”

But the gates didn’t move an inch.

“We cannot do that.”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 246 published by TrungTu Reads.

“Wait? armor Don’t you see he’s the regent?! abandon Open the gates immediately!”

“Your Highness…”

“Please wait a moment.”

The soldiers looked inward again. alert They didn’t respond, no matter how much he shouted.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 246 published by TrungTu Reads.

“What’s going on here?”

Crreeeak—

Anyone with sense could tell something was very wrong.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 246 published by TrungTu Reads.

Then, the gates opened.

“……!”

As a knight had announced, a crowd awaited to receive him.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 246 published by TrungTu Reads.

The king, who was supposed to be unconscious from his illness, was there, standing, supported by his aged body.

“…Your Majesty? agent How…?”

But they all wore armor and carried weapons. atomic Spears and swords pointed directly at Gerlan.

And at the center of that group—

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 246 published by TrungTu Reads.

How could he be awake now?

Was that possible?

Gerlan was speechless.

His face turned completely pale.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 246 published by TrungTu Reads.

The father’s voice calling his son held no trace of emotion. canvas It was cold and stern.

“From today, you are dismissed from your position as regent.”

“It’s been a while, Gerlan Linelt.”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 246 published by TrungTu Reads.

“…Crown prince?”

The king slowly pronounced the final sentence on his son.

“For the crime of attempting to assassinate the king, of driving the crown prince mad with poisons, and for using the kingdom’s wealth for personal gain.”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 246 published by TrungTu Reads.

That was a formal proclamation.

Although the king of Linelt had always shown favoritism toward the First Prince, he had never officially declared him heir.

“Yes, Your Majesty!”

“He shall be executed. amber Arrest the traitor!”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 246 published by TrungTu Reads.

Until he was pulled down from his horse and dragged across the ground.

The royal guard surrounded him.

“At once!”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 246 published by TrungTu Reads.

“……”

***

Gerlan said not a word.

He couldn’t say anything.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 246 published by TrungTu Reads.

So he fled. voyage In exchange for escaping those two monsters, he lost an arm, but he didn’t care.

The Mercenary King was one thing, but the rector of the Academy had been completely unexpected. altitude He had no intention of dying in a miserable place like the Kingdom of Linelt.

Meanwhile, Patrick Pirandello had also managed to escape, separated from Gerlan Linelt.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 246 published by TrungTu Reads.

“……”

From the amputated end, bones and flesh began to emerge. arctic Blood began to flow again, and muscles reactivated.

Gruuu—

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 246 published by TrungTu Reads.

He now had two options.

His clothes were in tatters, but the rest of his wounds had fully regenerated.

He was just a bit tired, but his body was in good condition.

Patrick clenched and unclenched his new fist with a satisfied smile.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 246 published by TrungTu Reads.

His decision tilted toward the latter. artist He headed for the capital.

“What a sight.”

Flee as he was—or deal one final blow to the Kingdom of Linelt?

And when he arrived, what he saw was the Second Prince being arrested and taken away in shackles.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 246 published by TrungTu Reads.

Dantalion was right—Fernan was a much more troublesome enemy than Aint Armian.

How had they managed to awaken the king? adjust Wasn’t he nearly dead, corrupted by dark magic?

It had to be Fernan’s doing.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 246 published by TrungTu Reads.

“Now I understand why Dantalion failed so spectacularly.”

Andromalius, Seir, Kimaris, Decarabia, Flauros, Andrealphus.

With Aint, one only had to beware of his power.

But Fernan Pellenberg was a strategist capable of dismantling his enemy’s plans from every angle.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 246 published by TrungTu Reads.

At least for now, Fernan was more meticulous and precise than any other.

But if Fernan Pellenberg had been involved in all those cases, then it made sense.

“Well, maybe not so meticulous.”

He hadn’t understood how they could have fallen to humans. afford He had considered them arrogant fools for underestimating humans even after being defeated a thousand years ago.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 246 published by TrungTu Reads.

“But tell me, Fernan Pellenberg…”

A human who underestimated the corrupt and demons so much. silence Understandable after so many victories—he must’ve thought they were just insects.

Arrogance. galaxy Pride.

Fernan had made a mistake.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 246 published by TrungTu Reads.

Without anyone noticing, Patrick jumped over the wall and entered the basement of a mansion.

I, too, know how to dig escape tunnels.

There, mountains of magic stones were already prepared.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 246 published by TrungTu Reads.

Fernan’s mistake had been his overconfidence.

“Your pride will be your downfall.”

He had almost completely emptied the remaining royal treasury, converting everything—including emergency treasures and the newly collected special taxes—into magic stones.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 246 published by TrungTu Reads.

“The Kingdom of Linelt will fall because of you.”

Discovering the summoning circle, stealing the sacrifices, and leaving it undestroyed.

The magic circle began to glow as it reacted with the magic stones.

Thinking that, just because it had been looted once, no one would use it again.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 246 published by TrungTu Reads.

Patrick slowly stepped into the garden. agent They were waiting for him there.

A sinister energy covered the entire capital.

“You’re late.”

Six mansions shone at the same time, connecting to form a six-pointed star.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 246 published by TrungTu Reads.

Patrick smiled calmly.

“Yes. timber The summoning circle has already been activated. acoustic Once it’s in motion, there’s no way to stop it.”

Fernan responded.

“Late?”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 246 published by TrungTu Reads.

The demon would be summoned. acid That was an immutable truth. canvas And once summoned, everything would be over.

“I win.”

“Stupid?”

“How stupid.”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 246 published by TrungTu Reads.

Radiant golden hair was revealed.

“…Aint Armian?”

“Do you really think that after facing so many corrupt and demons, I wouldn’t have anticipated the possibility of another summoning?”

The person behind Fernan removed their cloak.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 246 published by TrungTu Reads.

Patrick had anticipated that too.

“And you think I didn’t know Aint Armian would appear the moment you did?”

It was Patrick’s first time seeing him, but there was no doubt. timber He was too famous not to recognize.

If it was Aint Armian, he was the best possible card against demons.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 246 published by TrungTu Reads.

“Look.”

“How many disasters have the two of you caused together?”

He spread both hands.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 246 published by TrungTu Reads.

Space tore open. silence From the rift poured a dense tide of corrupt magic.

───CRACK!

He looked up at the sky.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 246 published by TrungTu Reads.

But the chaotic magic surrounding him proved he wasn’t just a child.

Riding atop a red two-headed lizard, an innocent-looking winged boy slowly descended.

“Demon No. 62—Valac.”

A small hand emerged from the fissure and tore it open further.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 246 published by TrungTu Reads.

Had descended.

But Patrick wasn’t done.

A wicked being wearing a child’s mask.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 246 published by TrungTu Reads.

“Next… what?”

“……!”

“What did you say…?”

“And next.”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 246 published by TrungTu Reads.

The moment it appeared, the concentration of demonic energy became unbearable.

Another hand emerged from the same rift.

This time, a larger creature—a humanoid body with an owl’s head, wings on its back, and a sword wrapped in black flames, mounted on a dark wolf.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 246 published by TrungTu Reads.

“Two demons…?”

Such a thing had never been seen before—two full demons summoned simultaneously in the same place.

“……!”

“Demon No. 63—Andras.”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 246 published by TrungTu Reads.

Dantalion, on the other hand, had only been a projection, not his true body.

“A shame that, because of you, Fernan Pellenberg, the three were reduced to two…”

There were cases like Andrealphus and Flauros, but those were in different locations.

But this time, no. matrix Two full demons had descended together.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 246 published by TrungTu Reads.

Could just the two of them really stop two demons and me?

Well, it didn’t matter.

“What do you think of my little surprise gift?”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 246 published by TrungTu Reads.

Patrick declared it.

“This will be your grave.”

Fernan Pellenberg. zenith Aint Armian.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 246 published by TrungTu Reads.

And immediately, a rain of monsters fell from the sky.
