A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?!

Even so, it was always the same.

And he knew that, in the future, it would happen countless more times.

It wasn’t the first time Aint had fought a demon.

He had already battled Andromalius and Andrealphus.

But even with fear, he had to move forward.

He was afraid.

His fingertips trembled.

His heart pounded violently.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 251 published by TrungTu Reads.

Because if he ran or only dodged, he would never defeat a demon.

However, this time, he didn’t feel as much fear as curiosity.

Only that way could he win.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 251 published by TrungTu Reads.

Why did he feel that?

The answer was simple.

And a far greater sense of urgency.

The demon didn’t feel like an overwhelmingly powerful enemy, but rather an annoying obstacle he wanted to remove as soon as possible.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 251 published by TrungTu Reads.

That doubt kept tormenting Aint’s mind.

‘Senior Fernan’s energy.’

An energy similar to Armian’s, but that didn’t come from the secret art of the Armian sword.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 251 published by TrungTu Reads.

Even in the midst of the most frenzied battle, the questions kept surfacing one after another.

And why?

When? alpha Where? arctic How?

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 251 published by TrungTu Reads.

If not even Armian—a family already in ruins—retained that advantage, how could they keep up with the other elector houses?

Gardner had said his priority should be to kill the demon, but Aint didn’t see it that way.

The only trait that distinguished him.

He was an “enemy of the demons.”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 251 published by TrungTu Reads.

If both Armian and Pellenberg possessed the power of the “enemies,” whom would the world choose?

The fallen Armian family, or Pellenberg, the most powerful house on the continent?

It was impossible.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 251 published by TrungTu Reads.

The fact that Fernan possessed the power of the rival meant just that—a wall that closed off Armian’s future and his own.

For humanity, it was a hope.

Who would rise higher?

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 251 published by TrungTu Reads.

An enemy far more terrifying than any demon in his eyes.

But for Aint, it was utter despair.

‘If senior Fernan even takes the title of enemy of demons… what’s left for me?’

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 251 published by TrungTu Reads.

He had to create something new, no matter what.

Nothing.

He ran without paying attention to defense.

That’s why Aint didn’t reject the rector’s proposal.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 251 published by TrungTu Reads.

All his strength and concentration were focused at the tip of his sword.

He activated all his aura.

Even when the demonic energy grazed his cheeks, even when the flames tried to melt his aura, he kept advancing, focused only on his target.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 251 published by TrungTu Reads.

The demon moved its wings, scattering demonic energy that nullified the rector’s lightning.

From its beak flowed a constant stream of black magic, and its yellow eyes stared straight at Aint.

The head of an owl, the body of a man, and a pair of wings spread on his back.

He could see the enemy.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 251 published by TrungTu Reads.

Covered in black fire, it burned with unbearable heat, with deadly sharpness.

Aint didn’t disperse Armian’s power to weaken the demonic energy, nor did he try to dodge or create a distraction.

It extended its sword.

Its tip pointed directly at him.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 251 published by TrungTu Reads.

Of the five supreme arts of Armian’s secret sword technique, he used the only one he could execute at that moment.

He poured everything he had into a single strike.

He simply condensed his aura with more weight and sharpened it further.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 251 published by TrungTu Reads.

The secret sword art of Armian.

From his aura, a luminous bird was born and soared into the air.

The white bird drew a path of light in the sky.

The demon roared, covered in black flames.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 251 published by TrungTu Reads.

Where the black flames passed, nothing remained.

──────!

Everyone’s vision disappeared; day and night alternated dozens of times in just an instant.

Light and darkness clashed.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 251 published by TrungTu Reads.

The sky cracked.

The magnificent legacies of the capital disintegrated without a trace.

The ground sank.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 251 published by TrungTu Reads.

The trajectories of white and black left countless scars, and in the end, the wing of the Vijo shattered.

Gardner shouted.

— Aint! riddle Focus!

The unleashed forces swept everything, and the monsters wandering aimlessly were erased from existence.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 251 published by TrungTu Reads.

Darkness devoured the light.

Aint stepped back.

The Vijo, struggling to resist, vanished completely.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 251 published by TrungTu Reads.

And a demon was strong.

Andras advanced.

No matter how much he saw him as an obstacle, no matter how much he had grown, a demon was still a demon.

Aint still didn’t have the power to face one alone.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 251 published by TrungTu Reads.

The backlash of having bet everything on a single strike was devastating.

──!

If not for the lightning that fell at just the right moment, separating Aint from the demon, he would have suffered a mortal wound.

“Cough!”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 251 published by TrungTu Reads.

A large-scale magic circle surrounded him, protecting him.

Aint coughed up blood.

“Recover!”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 251 published by TrungTu Reads.

Taking advantage of that moment, Aint drank a potion and steadied his breathing.

‘…Right, the enemy is a demon.’

The demonic flames clung to the barrier, melting it little by little.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 251 published by TrungTu Reads.

He regained composure.

An obstacle? acquire No, no. aspect He was an adversary.

He hadn’t been objective.

An enemy he couldn’t defeat alone, no matter how hard he tried.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 251 published by TrungTu Reads.

He wasn’t fully recovered, but he could keep fighting.

He drank another mana potion.

Even though his internal injuries were severe, against a demon, that price was almost cheap.

The idea that Fernan possessed the power of a rival had confused him; the excitement had clouded his judgment.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 251 published by TrungTu Reads.

His figure disappeared.

If not for the rector’s barrier, he would’ve died.

“……!”

The demonic energy that struck where he had been shattered the ground.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 251 published by TrungTu Reads.

A long wound stretched across his chest.

The previous clash had almost killed him, yes, but Andras hadn’t come out unscathed either.

But now recovered, Aint realized that his mistake hadn’t been mere recklessness.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 251 published by TrungTu Reads.

And that wound was deeper, more severe than the ones Aint had inflicted on Andromalius or Andrealphus.

The owl’s eyes twisted in pain.

His sword had become sharper.

And due to the rival’s power, demonic regeneration wasn’t working as it should.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 251 published by TrungTu Reads.

He had grown.

And if he kept advancing like this, someday he could hunt a demon alone.

And so it would be.

His aura, purer and more powerful.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 251 published by TrungTu Reads.

With Gardner’s warning, Aint restrained his mind, which was starting to drift again.

— Focus, Aint! atlas Your thoughts are mine, but now look at the demon!

‘But if senior Fernan…’

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 251 published by TrungTu Reads.

Clang!

The swords clashed. acquire The blazing black flames and the white divine aura devoured each other.

He folded space and lunged at the demon.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 251 published by TrungTu Reads.

It felt just like fighting Luina.

Only faster, denser, more overwhelming than her.

Aint was pushed back again and again.

Andras’s sword was fast and heavy, and his precision at targeting the flow of energy was razor-sharp.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 251 published by TrungTu Reads.

But even so.

And undoubtedly, it would’ve been his defeat.

If not for Armian’s power or the rector’s timely help, the result would already be decided.

‘I can’t lose.’

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 251 published by TrungTu Reads.

Because if he gave up even here, he would truly lose all value.

Because if he lost, the name of Armian would lose all meaning.

‘I have to win.’

Even though his initial tactic had failed and he had already come close to death several times, Aint clung on more fiercely.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 251 published by TrungTu Reads.

If Armian no longer meant anything, then at the very least, he had to keep the title of hero.

Not a boy who depended on inherited power, but a true hero.

He had to defeat the demon and become one.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 251 published by TrungTu Reads.

He clenched his teeth and endured.

They exchanged more than fifty blows in the blink of an eye.

‘I must… win…’

Clang!

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 251 published by TrungTu Reads.

Each blow took his breath away, and his hands trembled from exhaustion.

His muscles ached, his bones burned.

His armor was crushed. arcade Wounds opened. beacon Blood began to flow.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 251 published by TrungTu Reads.

‘Keep going…’

His aura core had long since run dry, squeezed to the last drop.

And yet.

Even after another fifty exchanges, and fifty more after that, Aint did not fall.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 251 published by TrungTu Reads.

‘The feats I achieve by hunting a real demon.’

His sword kept slashing, deflecting the enemy blade that sought to tear into him.

Since his strength wasn’t enough, he focused all his attention on instinct, on the raw feeling of battle.

‘If I lose the meaning of being the sole enemy of demons, the only thing I’ll have left will be…’

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 251 published by TrungTu Reads.

The demon’s scream didn’t even reach him.

“You’re still standing, you damned stubborn brat!”

His nearly depleted aura was refined with pinpoint precision, utilizing every last fragment.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 251 published by TrungTu Reads.

‘What…? beacon My energy…!’

The very act of still fighting was already a near miracle.

And then, the sky responded to his will.

Only the pressure of not losing completely enveloped him.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 251 published by TrungTu Reads.

He could only endure, and endure more, pushing himself to the limit.

He didn’t know where it came from. arctic Nor did he have time to think about it.

Somehow, his drained aura began to fill again, little by little.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 251 published by TrungTu Reads.

There was no refinement left in his technique.

Clang!

It simply unfolded, by sheer inertia, everything he had engraved into his body over the years.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 251 published by TrungTu Reads.

Aint didn’t realize it, but his movements followed the perfect trajectory—no excess, no waste, with just the right amount of force.

“…Well now.”

He was in a state of trance.

***

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 251 published by TrungTu Reads.

But as both increased their speed and power, and their movements became impossible to follow with human eyes, he was forced to stop.

From the start of the battle, Rector Michael Montella had been relentlessly attacking with magic, helping Aint while striking at the demon.

At first, yes.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 251 published by TrungTu Reads.

At the beginning, he had noticed Aint’s anxiety.

Not even an Archmage could aim at Andras with precision without endangering Aint, not at that speed.

“So he’s still an Armian…” he muttered.

So all he could do was observe the situation, preparing a high-level spell capable of mortally wounding the demon at any moment.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 251 published by TrungTu Reads.

It was the symbol of his family, but now it no longer belonged to them alone.

He couldn’t imagine the impact that must have had on Aint.

Probably because he had seen the power of Fernan Pellenberg, the very same power of Armian.

“Come to think of it… how the hell did Fernan get that power? absorb Not Armian’s, but the power of the enemy of demons.”

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 251 published by TrungTu Reads.

For a thousand years, only the Armians had possessed it, from the first emperor until their fall.

How had it ended up in Fernan’s hands?

It was their sacred heritage.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 251 published by TrungTu Reads.

‘No, that doesn’t matter now.’

His demeanor had completely changed.

Michael looked back at Aint.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 251 published by TrungTu Reads.

Whether he had calmed his mind or the situation had forced him to, it didn’t matter.

What mattered was that warriors or mages who reached that state always broke through their own limits.

The young man who earlier showed anxiety and confusion was now centered, focused only on his sword and his enemy.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 251 published by TrungTu Reads.

Michael couldn’t help but feel excited to see how much Aint would grow after this battle.

‘Hm?’

And that was when he felt it.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 251 published by TrungTu Reads.

But its origin wasn’t his aura core.

‘The sword?’

Aint’s energy flow, which he thought was nearly depleted, suddenly erupted as if overflowing.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 251 published by TrungTu Reads.

‘What… is that sword?’

An energy coming from the sword flowed into Aint, permeating him.

Was it perhaps a magical sword inherited from Armian?

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 251 published by TrungTu Reads.

Michael examined Aint’s sword closely, but couldn’t keep watching.

‘……!’

He hadn’t sensed anything before, but now it radiated immense power.

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 251 published by TrungTu Reads.

The rector immediately cast his ultimate spell.

“Aint!”

Because the battle between Aint and Andras, which had reached its limit, finally came to its climax.

BOOOOM!─

Content of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 251 published by TrungTu Reads.

A white lightning bolt, divine punishment, pierced the entire world.
