Chapter 51: 51 – It was wrong to think I was the only one with cheats

'You shouldn't underestimate her.'

Gee, mysterious voice. You don't say?

I gave up on my spear to keep my hands free and ignored my throbbing face. Instead, I kept my eyes on the mysterious woman who appeared in a random invade.

She didn't move after kicking me off the pillar, instead staring down at me as if waiting for my reaction.

A test.

Right, she mentioned wanting to see who I took after more. That, plue the whole bit about the world not surviving if a hero didn't appear-

'Block it.'

Block wha-

An invisible ripple. Shockwaves formed from pure sound, somehow hypercompressed and directed right at me.

My eyes widened and I reflexively swung my arm out to use Energy Manipulation to disperse it.

But it didn't work.

Instead, the blast rocketed me towards the ground while letting out a screeching sound.

"This crazy...!"

At the speed I was moving, I'd be flattened between the ground and the shockwave. And if it was any ordinary person, that was the inevitable outcome. But for me...

I grit my teeth and clenched the open air. At least, that's what it would have looked like to an outsider. In truth, Energy Manipulation let me grab onto the blast. I couldn't rip it apart, but if it was just moving it, that was doable.

So.

A split second before I crashed into the ground, I spun while hugging the blast.

An explosion erupted, sending rubble and debris in every direction. At the same time, the force sent me flying as if I had jumped onto the ground with a giant inflatable ball before bouncing up.

Hurt like hell, but I wasn't dead. And now...

A hushed whisper. Words being spoken at a rapid pace, completely unintelligible- No. A rapid elegy quickly rising to a crescendo.

'Block.'

I pulled out another giant pillar and slammed it against the ground to get some footing before scanning around-

What the fuck?

'Block everywhere.'

The woman hadn't moved. She was still standing there on the pillar and looking down at me.

...But she had also raised her sword to the sky and was gathering blinding white light in every direction while glowing white feathers descended from the sky.

She met my gaze and then smiled before saying four words.

"Cry, holy bell tower."
