Link vs Button for "Cancel"

Hi,

I have a form that contains a submit button and a cancel link. The "cancel"
takes the user to another page thus behaves like a link.

But because it is a destructive action and is related to the form, I wonder
if it should actually be a button. If thats the case, does it mean I need
to implement JS to actually route the user to navigate to a different page?
Can I just leave it as a link?

Thanks!
