What? I Actually Reincarnated As Stepping Stone In Another World?

Chapter 175 So, How Would You Prefer to Meet Your End?

"Then... let's repel these invaders, David! And let us remind them of our legendary titles as the God of Fire and Water in the southern region of the human continent!"

After he spoke those encouraging words, a ghastly smile crossed Noah's lips.

"Yes, let's go!" David also flashed a faint smile, and suddenly, within a radius of two hundred meters, the previously icy-cold air turned both warm and scorching.

Any snow that had fallen instantly evaporated, as if there were a searing field within two hundred meters of David and Noah.

"Whoosh!"

David soared upward with flames enveloping his body, hurtling towards the tens of millions of barbarian troops at high speed.

Noah, witnessing David's immense power, couldn't help but shudder slightly.

The power David had just displayed was a manifestation of the Elemental Supreme.

"He has truly achieved mastery of the path of fire... What a prodigy and a genius from the Asvold family!" He murmured softly, unwilling to be outdone by David.

In no time, a watery barrier formed around him, and he swiftly caught up with David.

...

"Whoosh!"

David shot forward at an incredible speed, his gaze filled with an unusually killing intent of determination.

"The mightiest barbarian army... That's all they've got," he sneered, swiftly raising his right hand.

In an instant, an enormous wall of fire surged and lunged towards the barbarian army.

This caused the three generals of the Savaran Empire to halt their horses immediately.

"This attack... David Asvold!" Lunadar, the first general of the Savaran Empire, furrowed his brow and muttered gravely.

"Damn it! The rumors were true; David had reached the northern region."The second general, Jared, clenched his fists in dread as he witnessed a towering wave of flames approaching, tens of meters high.

"No more hesitation! Hesitation will lead to our demise."The third general, Fellas, yelled in frustration.

Upon hearing this, the other two generals snapped out of their stupor and nodded solemnly.

"Let's combine our forces!" Lunadar, being the highest-ranking officer in the entire army, issued an immediate command.

The other two generals exchanged glances and nodded.

However, just as they were about to unleash their elemental arts to counter David's assault, the leader of the ten black-cloaked figures intervened.

"Hey, hey, guys... Aren't we going to engage in a discussion?" The cloaked man's voice emerged from behind, drawing the attention of the three generals.

"Of course, but can you handle David's attack?" Lunadar sneered, his confidence undeterred.

The three generals acted swiftly, invoking their elemental arts.

"Earth Elemental Art: Absolute Defense!" Lunadar brought his hands together with all his might, and suddenly, the ground rose, forming a colossal wall tens of meters wide.

"Air Elemental Art: Southern Storm!" Jared refused to be outdone and summoned a massive waterspout, directing it towards the fiery waves created by David.

"Fire Elemental Art: Fire Spear!" Fellas hurled the spear from his back, and it instantly transformed into a fiery projectile.

Apart from the initial tornado, the massive fire spears surged in unison, joining forces to thwart David's assault.

"Boom!"

A tremendous explosion reverberated, sending chills down everyone's spine as the three attacks attempted to counter David's seemingly simple move.

"Have we succeeded?" Lunadar asked cautiously, his gaze fixed on the massive explosion.

"It seems... David stands no chance against our combined assault, given that he's alone," Jared remarked smugly.

However, just as he started to feel satisfied, the temperature in the vicinity and throughout the entire army began to rise unusually.

"What in the world...?" Fellas exclaimed as the sky suddenly became blindingly bright, and above them, a colossal meteor materialized.

The barbarian troops, too, found themselves in a dire situation, as if they were witnessing the apocalypse.

"Hold the line! We must hold on!" Lunadar urgently rallied his troops and called on the other two generals to withstand the impending assault.

Meanwhile, the black-cloaked man who observed David's attack couldn't help but shudder.

"Damn it... Is David even human? How can he unleash such overwhelming power?" He muttered in fear.

However, his orders from the superiors of the Light-Eater organization were clear: assist the assault on the North with full dedication.

"Damn it... I had to resort to my trump card to counter David's initial strike, even though it was just his opening move! If I hadn't, our entire barbarian army would have been annihilated, and the organization's plans would crumble," the black-cloaked man cursed inwardly, consumed by hatred.

He swiftly retrieved the three black beads from his pocket.

"One bead should suffice to withstand David's attack..." He muttered, and without hesitation, he flung one of the beads at the enormous meteor in the sky.

"Whoosh!"

In an instant, a colossal black hole materialized, sending shivers of terror through the entire barbarian army and the three generals.

"What's happening?!"

"A black hole?! What kind of elemental art is this?"

Panic and fear swept through the ranks of the barbarian army, leaving the three generals exchanging puzzled glances.

"What's happening?" Fellas furrowed his brow, only to witness the black hole suddenly shake and effortlessly engulf David's attack.

"Whooshh!"

The tremors and suction effect were so powerful that they drew in all the air within a radius of hundreds of kilometers.

"Boom!"

A deafening explosion followed as the black hole successfully absorbed David's potent attack, creating an immense shockwave.

"It worked... The attack managed to stop the colossal meteor!" Lunadar was left speechless, his gaze fixed on the black-cloaked figure.

"Did you accomplish this?" He questioned the black-cloaked man in a grave tone.

Faced with Lunadar's inquiry, the black-cloaked man offered a sardonic smile and nodded.

"What do you think? Now, do you acknowledge my capabilities?" He sneered and taunted Lunadar, who had previously underestimated him.

This rebuke left Lunadar feeling deeply embarrassed and at a loss for words.

The events unfolding before him were undeniable proof of his earlier mistake.

After all, their Emperor had sent these ten cloaked men, and the cloaked man in front of him was their leader, as unknown and unanticipated reinforcements.

Naturally, his caution had been entirely justified.

However, he had come to realize the mistake in his prior actions.

"I apologize for my previous conduct." Lunadar quickly admitted his mistake without any attempt to conceal it, displaying genuine remorse.

The black-cloaked man before him possessed formidable strength, even managing to withstand David's attacks.

Although Lunadar was certain it involved a secretive technique,

"It's good that you acknowledge it, and I hope we can collaborate to overcome David and Noah," the black-cloaked man responded with casual forgiveness.

Such cooperation would greatly facilitate the Light Eaters organization's overarching plan.

"Thank you. Let's confront David with confidence!" Lunadar, now bolstered with newfound determination, expressed his enthusiasm.

His gaze turned toward the sky, where a man donning a blazing red armored robe materialized—none other than David himself.

"Whoosh!"

In an instant, next to David, a ripple appeared, revealing another man in a crystal blue robe—Noah Wilhem.

"David and Noah!" Lundar, Fellas, and Jared regarded the two with fierce gazes and intense hostility.

"Is that David Asvold, renowned as the southern fire god?" The black-cloaked man approached Lunadar, speaking in a hushed tone.

"Yes... he is David, and the man beside him is none other than the Duke of the northern region, Noah Wilhem," Lunadar replied solemnly, his vigilance rising significantly.

David's display of truly formidable power earlier had left them genuinely terrified.

As a high-level Elemental Saint, Lunadar felt an overwhelming and terrifying pressure.

"Is he a peak-level elemental saint or... supreme?" The daunting conjecture sent shivers down Lunadar's spine.

However, he swiftly dismissed the idea, finding it hard to believe that David had breached the legendary level.

Breaking through to the Supreme level was an exceedingly rare accomplishment, and he was reluctant to accept that David might be among those few.

Otherwise, the fate of the tens of millions of barbarian troops, and possibly their own, would be sealed in an instant.

"His strength is something I can barely detect, and I'm afraid it seems we might be overpowered..." The black-cloaked man spoke in hushed tones.

Having just withstood David's recent attack, he had experienced firsthand how potent it was.

In fact, it appeared that David's strength could rival the bead he had thrown moments ago!

It's worth noting that the bead was a manifestation of the dark elemental art wielded by the leader of the Light-Eater organization, operating at the supreme elemental level.

And if that's the case, could it be that David himself is also a supreme elemental?

The same thought that had crossed Lunadar's mind now occupies his own thoughts.

However, he was unwilling to accept this possibility, holding out hope that it might just be a misunderstanding.

Meanwhile, David and Noah, observing the fearful and astonished expressions on the three generals' faces, exchanged faint smiles.

"Look at their expressions; it seems like they're intimidated by your strength," Noah quipped, sharing a lighthearted moment with David.

"Hehe... Insects are insects, and they dared to attack without comprehending their true limitations," David stated confidently, arms folded.

He then fixed a firm gaze on the three generals and gradually descended closer to the sky, remarking, "So... how would you prefer to meet your end?"
