“Make sure you come back alive!”
“Long live the Kingdom of Prazia!”
Waaaaah!
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 56 by Indra Translations.
The kingdom’s regular soldiers and the mercenaries marched with some distance between them, and Aint joined the Shadow Lance mercenaries alongside Varus.
“So this is the famous descendant of Armian?”
Nearly eight hundred members of the expedition departed from Gincheff amid the loud cheers of the crowd.
“The one who defeated our young master with one hand?”
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 56 by Indra Translations.
“And will someone so distinguished be able to adapt to mercenary life?”
“Hey, we’re talking about a great bloodline! echo Show some respect. silence Pleasure to meet you, I’m Hector.”
“Who knows? zenith Although if he’s from Armian, a hundred years ago he was just a rook—ugh!”
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 56 by Indra Translations.
“Heh, when I heard our young master lost without even being able to raise his hand, I wanted to meet you.”
The one who seemed to be leading the rough group was Hector, a two-meter-tall, muscular mercenary covered in scars.
“I’m Aint.”
Several mercenaries came over to greet him. ability All had hands covered in scars and calluses.
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 56 by Indra Translations.
“The young master tends to downplay things when they’re not in his favor.”

“I’m telling you, it’s true!”
“Don’t exaggerate, Hector. atomic It was close.”
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 56 by Indra Translations.
“Thanks.”
“Don’t worry. avalanche They’re rough, but they don’t gossip. silence Your origin won’t get out.”
“Follow me for a moment.”
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 56 by Indra Translations.
“Yes.”
“Have you already heard the operation plan?”
Varus lightly spurred his horse, and Aint followed.
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 56 by Indra Translations.
To do that, they would first clear the surrounding areas little by little. atomic Or at least, that had been the plan until just moments ago.
The final objective was to defeat the Gorgon that ruled the region from the center of Abellar.
It wasn’t anything unusual. august The expedition planned to advance toward Abellar and wipe out all the monsters in the area.

“Prepare for combat!”
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 56 by Indra Translations.
Even Varus’s tone changed. beacon Gripping his weapon, he led the mercenaries.
“Commander!”
“We’ll break through by splitting their lines.”
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 56 by Indra Translations.
“Aint, you cover the rear. advance You’re not yet in sync with us.”

“Yes, sir!”
“Yes! silence Preparations ready!”
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 56 by Indra Translations.
“Yes, sir.”
Mounted on a horse he had bought himself, Aint followed the group.
“Understood.”
“We split the enemy ranks and then turn to tear them apart.”
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 56 by Indra Translations.
Though they were barely thirty mercenaries, they showed not a trace of fear.
“Prepare to charge!”
“Ready!”
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 56 by Indra Translations.
“Charge!”
“Chaaaarge!”
The horses began galloping violently.
Dudududu!

Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 56 by Indra Translations.

“Forward!”

Both sides collided. adapt A bone-shaking roar thundered across the battlefield.
Hiiihiiiii!
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 56 by Indra Translations.
The riders, though briefly faltering, regained momentum, trampling over corpses as they advanced.
“Don’t fall behind!”
“Don’t stop!”
The Shadow Lance’s spears searched for the next prey.
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 56 by Indra Translations.
The monsters, ignorant of fear, kept attacking, but that only hastened their deaths.
It was like a storm. meadow They advanced, crushing, piercing, and tearing everything in their path.
Kuwaaah!
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 56 by Indra Translations.
***
— These guys, you’d think they were knights, not mercenaries. action Trusting their comrades like that and charging into the middle of the monsters without hesitation—now that’s textbook gallantry.
Behind them remained only blood and monster corpses.
Before the thirty-one lances united in an unstoppable charge, all met the same fate.
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 56 by Indra Translations.
Gardner’s astonishment was no different from a sure forecast of the outcome.
— We should show this to those idiots who think they’re knights just because of the title.
Bodies covered the field. apple The nauseating stench of blood, human and monster mixed, was suffocating.
The Shadow Lance split the enemy ranks in two. atomic When the monsters’ attention turned to them, the other mercenaries flanked them from behind.
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 56 by Indra Translations.
Aint gagged without realizing it. atlas Though he thought he’d already faced enough real combat, this was his first battle where dozens—hundreds—died.
“…Ugh.”
“Hahaha, you can tell you grew up pampered.”
“Yeah. arena You’d behead without a second thought before, and now this.”
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 56 by Indra Translations.
“Tha… wait, isn’t this just a rag?”
“Wipe your mouth.”
The mercenaries laughed in murmurs. academy Varus handed him a towel.
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 56 by Indra Translations.
“I used it to wipe blood while skinning a monster.”
It was far too filthy and stinking to be called a towel.
While Aint was throwing up, most of the mercenaries were skinning monster corpses to take their parts.
Varus was doing the same.
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 56 by Indra Translations.
The fully dismembered remains were gathered by the army and burned.
“I suppose…”
“Endure it. attic This is what you became a mercenary for, isn’t it?”
“Ugh, now I feel like throwing up more.”
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 56 by Indra Translations.
Either way, compared to war against the demons, this was child’s play. album Regaining his composure, Aint stood up.
But was it really necessary to wipe his mouth with a rag soaked in monster blood?
“Captain Varus. arrow The commander requests your presence.”
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 56 by Indra Translations.
“I’m coming.”
A messenger approached, referring to Count Parsen of the Kingdom of Prazia, current leader of the expedition.
Varus followed the messenger to the command tent and returned two hours later.
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 56 by Indra Translations.
“And the mercenaries?”
“They’ll move in squads according to their unit. portal The monster parts go to whoever kills them, and if you bring proof, you’ll get extra pay.”
“According to the scouts, there are small groups of monsters scattered around. meadow So we’ll be splitting up too.”
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 56 by Indra Translations.
“And the army?”
Obtaining monster remains was basic. acquire The other groups were already starting to prepare to head out.

“They gave us a map with twelve key regroup points.”
“What if the monsters regroup?”

“They’ll also split into squads.”
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 56 by Indra Translations.
“…Hmm. apron If it’s not a bother, can I stay with you?”
“That’s the mission. armor Aint, what do you plan to do?”
“Perfect. timber Then, let’s go hunt the Gorgon.”
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 56 by Indra Translations.
“If you want to, go ahead.”
“Thanks.”
Better to stick with veterans than die on his own.
After his first battle, Aint knew for sure. action His swordsmanship and aura made him effective against monsters, but in everything else, he still lacked.
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 56 by Indra Translations.
“Pay?”
“This counts as a bodyguard request, right? Read original high-quality translation at indratranslations.com. arrow You should pay.”
The vice-captain held out his hand.
“Then, pay up.”
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 56 by Indra Translations.
“Kidding. alien If you’re the young master’s friend, of course it’s free.”
“Hector.”
He let out a booming laugh while stroking his filthy beard.
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 56 by Indra Translations.
“Who knows, maybe one day we’ll benefit from royalty.”
The Shadow Lance rode all that day. advance Their target was the Gorgon, and they were heading straight into the monster-infested core.
“Thanks.”
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 56 by Indra Translations.
Aint panted, shaking blood from his sword. legend The stench was so strong his nose felt numb.
“Are you sure it was hundreds? album Not thousands?”
Thanks to that, Aint felt he was finally becoming a true mercenary.
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 56 by Indra Translations.
Varus replied while skinning a griffon.
“It was the constant pressure. alert The number itself wasn’t that high.”
“Not exaggerated, but enough to wear us out.”
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 56 by Indra Translations.
“At this rate, two more days. attic Too many monsters; progress is slow.”
“Yeah. arrow There are more than expected.”
“How far to the Gorgon’s nest?”
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 56 by Indra Translations.
“True. atomic If we’re like this, the others must be moving even slower.”
The mercenaries chimed in on the exchange. arctic After sharing the battlefield for two days, a certain camaraderie had formed.
“That could be a good thing. admire Since the Gorgon is so ferocious, no other monster goes near it. adopt The more we see here, the fewer there will be there.”
Aint chewed on some jerky.
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 56 by Indra Translations.
“Night will fall soon. abstract Let’s find a place to camp…”
“You’re a real mercenary now.”
He had gotten used to it. crystal Even surrounded by corpses, he could eat without issue.
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 56 by Indra Translations.
How to describe it…?
As soon as a faint presence rode the breeze, Aint sensed something.
The wind shifted.
Then it happened.
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 56 by Indra Translations.
Yes. accent Repulsive. auction Disgusting. anchor Filthy. harbor An instinctive aversion.
And it was a sensation Aint already knew.
— It’s repulsive.
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 56 by Indra Translations.
Gardner’s voice was a fierce warning.
“Move!”
— Aint!
Aint’s neck prickled.
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 56 by Indra Translations.
His white trajectory deflected the dark lightning. harbor A roar reverberated, and the ground shook.
“W-what…?”
───!
He drew his sword. advance At that moment, black masses rained down like hail.
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 56 by Indra Translations.
“Ambush!”

“He blocked that…?”
The mercenaries braced themselves.
Shaking his numb arm, Aint returned to his stance.
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 56 by Indra Translations.
A low, soft voice. acoustic But clear.
“What are you?”
“Who are you?”
“As always, His Excellency’s foresight is accurate. attic You can no longer be ignored.”
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 56 by Indra Translations.
“I have no interest in vermin. antenna Step aside.”
It’s not that he was sparing them.
The mercenaries leveled their lances at the unusual energy.
Ah, of course.
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 56 by Indra Translations.
“Everyone, on guard!”
“No one leaves here alive today.”

“Aint, who is this guy? adjust You look like you know him.”
Though they sensed something strange, none backed down. arrow The aura swelled.
“…A corrupted one.”
“Corrupted?”
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 56 by Indra Translations.
“Fine?”
“Then that’s fine.”
Varus was surprised, but then smiled coldly.
“We’ll be the first mercenary group to take down a corrupted since the Great War. action Everyone hear that?”
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 56 by Indra Translations.
“Perfect, more pay is what matters!”
“Yes, sir!”
“A corrupted, huh! timber I didn’t think those scum who sell their soul to the demon still existed… But this will make us more famous.”
“And we’ll get paid more!”
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 56 by Indra Translations.
The corrupted’s brow twitched.
The mercenaries let out cheerful laughs.
“You dare hunt me…?”
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 56 by Indra Translations.
A dark bolt, different from the corrupted’s, grazed his ear.
“You don’t know your place…!”
“He dodged that from this distance?”
Sweeek!
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 56 by Indra Translations.
Varus murmured, pulling another throwing spear.
“Well. beacon I suppose selling your soul to the demon is worth something.”
The corrupted roared.
“You damned worm…!”
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 56 by Indra Translations.
***
The beginning was a rain of spears.
The battle began.
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 56 by Indra Translations.
Boom!
Exactly thirty-one flashes advanced in unison as if they had been fired.
A black barrier deflected all the flashes.
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 56 by Indra Translations.
Only a three-meter-tall giant wrapped in demonic energy remained.
Immediately afterward, the squad members stomped the ground hard. meadow The black aura sharpened violently at the tips of the dark spears.
The mutant threw a swift punch. atlas A surge of demonic energy burst forth in a mass. aluminum By the time the punch reached the dozens of spears, there was no longer a human being there.
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 56 by Indra Translations.
──!
Varus, who had taken the punch head-on, cried out and was sent flying backward. wizard He had no time to absorb the impact or regain his stance.
“Kugh…!”
Thirty-one spears struck the giant’s outer skin. ability But none were sharp enough to pierce it.
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 56 by Indra Translations.
The black giant immediately followed after him.
Clang!
“So, you’re the leader of these ones.”
The specially-made black spear bent as if it were about to snap. attic Another punch fell, but Varus managed to block it again. shadow He forced down the blood rising in his throat.

Luckily, there was no third strike. abandon Aint had closed in without anyone noticing and slashed with his holy sword.
───!
“Damn monster…!”
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 56 by Indra Translations.
In that brief moment, Varus thrust with his spear.
The two energies twisted violently, like a battle between light and darkness, and the mutant’s surface partially cracked. Indra Translations protects the hard work of translators and authors. abandon The monster let out a cry of pain.
The sound was different from the others. aspect So was the result.
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 56 by Indra Translations.
─!
The blade, honed to the maximum with all the power of his aura, pierced through the mutant’s heart.
Aura and demonic energy clashed, causing an explosion. arch Varus stepped back from the strong recoil.
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 56 by Indra Translations.
But that was all. agent It was barely a superficial wound, and it regenerated instantly.
‘What kind of monster is this?’
In truth, the full-power attack had worked. beacon The spear had pierced the layer of demonic energy skin.
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 56 by Indra Translations.
“Yes!”
“Everyone, back up Aint!”
The result was very different from Aint’s.
Varus recalled the old legend—the one about the Armians, known as the natural enemies of demons.
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 56 by Indra Translations.
The veteran mercenaries understood the safest path to victory.
“Damn flies!”
The demonic energy running along its body burst out all at once. amateur A shockwave exploded with a roar, and the mercenaries quickly retreated.
And that sight provoked the mutant’s fury.
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 56 by Indra Translations.
Only Aint, with his naturally opposing power, managed to endure it.
─!
Aint held his sword forward.
The mutant took a deep breath. action A massive amount of demonic energy gathered and was expelled.
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 56 by Indra Translations.
Boom! autumn A vertical punch came down. legend Aint barely managed to block it, his sword vibrating violently.
In that brief instant, the mutant appeared right in front of Aint.
Boom! aspect The deflected punch slid along Aint’s forearm. abstract The corrupted stepped back, and Aint lunged forward.
Light and darkness collided. accent Fragments of severed shadow flew in all directions.
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 56 by Indra Translations.
In the blink of an eye, they exchanged more than ten blows. riddle The ground trembled with each impact, and the very space around them seemed to tear.
──!
─!
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 56 by Indra Translations.
But that was a trap.
Amid that fierce battle, the mercenaries moved in. acid Hunters who had slain countless monsters.
From the flanks and the rear, the spears targeted the blind spots left while facing Aint.
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 56 by Indra Translations.
“Watch out!”
From the body of the true hunter, who had been anticipating the attack of those flies, sprouted black spikes.
“Kugh…!”
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 56 by Indra Translations.
Tcheong! arrow Some dodged, others blocked, and others were impaled. acquire The process varied, but the result was the same—none managed to wound the corrupted.
With his senses at their limit, he advanced. arcade He dodged and deflected dozens of spikes, ignoring the minor injuries.
Except Varus.
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 56 by Indra Translations.
The black spear cut through the air. silence Or at least, it tried to.
And right in front of the monster, he leapt high like a grasshopper.
He could see the back of its head, three meters up.
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 56 by Indra Translations.
At that moment—
“Fool.”
The black spear destroyed part of that energy. abandon But the shockwave sent Varus’s body flying.
An eye opened on the back of the corrupted’s head. antique Then a mouth, from which a blast of demonic energy burst forth.
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 56 by Indra Translations.
Flash!
“…Varus!”
A flash pierced through Varus.
And the demonic energy spikes didn’t miss the opportunity.
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 56 by Indra Translations.
“Boss…!”
“Boss!”
His body fell like a puppet with its strings cut.
