As I fall to the ground, my mind feels clear. Thousands of thoughts flow through my head at a speed that would normally light my brain on fire. I see everything in front of me, including Cerberus.
A dagger forms in my hand, made of mana, and I instantly stop falling. All the energy that gathered from my fall changes direction, throwing me towards Cerberus. Armor made of mana surrounds me, being made of a very dark blue color. The dagger in my hand starts vibrating at a high frequency, threatening to obliterate anything it touches.
Another fireball is sent at me, but I absorb the heat from it, storing it inside my body, completely negating the attack. Seeing that it's fireball didn't work, the middle head of Cerberus releases a concentrated beam of dark energy. Undeterred, I fly through it, strengthening my body with mana.
My mana supply feels unlimited for some reason, but it hurts as I move such large amounts of it through me to cast these strange spells. Emerging on the other side of the blast, the distance between me and Cerberus is much smaller then before. It tries to bite at me with the middle head, but I stop all it's movements, absorbing a very large amount of kinetic energy.
I take all the kinetic energy I have gathered and turn it into thermal energy, adding to the fireball from before. I concentrate all of the thermal energy to be as dense as possible, and I feel my head start hurting, almost a splitting migraine. I push on and make the energy denser.
A laser of pure heat shoots out from my hand, but I lose control after only a second. The middle head of Cerberus is destroyed, and the other two are badly burned, making me confident in my ability to win. Until I suddenly lose all of my power.
The effects of absorbing it's kinetic energy stops, allowing it to move again. All of the energy I gathered shoots out from my body in a sphere, pushing everything away. I plummet to the ground, feeling like my brain might explode. The feeling passes instantly, as a new form of power flows into me.
[This is a very good synergy. You will likely obtain some of his power, of you live long enough for it to matter. ~Blak]
I feel strength and speed infuse into me, and my mind goes into overdrive, taking in everything. My senses are multiplied by a hundred times, and I feel a new magic flowing through me. Reacting as fast as possible, I make a shield around me.
This new magic is very different. An array of circles appear in front of me, which I fill with magic to get the desired affect. Another ball of fire is thrown at me, but this time I feel the heat, even through the shield. I fly as high as I can, gaining some distance.
[Summon your weapons. You'll need them. ~Blak]
I feel a connection between me and multiple different things. I grasp one of these and summon a hammer. Or, I think it's a hammer. It looks more like a sideways pyramid on a stick.
I focus my gravitational energy on it, making it heavier. These new powers make my stats much higher, so the already very heavy hammer is now many times heavier. I heft it over my head and throw it to the right most head, the one that keeps shooting fire.
Cerberus dodges, but not all the way. Instead of hitting the head, the hammer strikes the center of its chest, knocking the wind out of the beast. That'll stop it from shooting fireballs, at least for now.
I fly directly at it, and dodge it's bites. The left head hasn't done any attacks yet, so I'm especially careful around that one. The effects from the hammer is gone, so another fireball is thrown at me. I use the new magic to make a beam of energy, and destroy the fireball, along with damaging the right head.
The left head growls and opens it's mouth, making a vortex that pulls everything in. I fly on the opposite direction, but I am slowed down a lot. The right head takes this opportunity to bite at me, and I form a shield around me.
It successfully bites me, putting me and the shield inside of it's mouth. I make another beam of energy, and cancel the shield. The attack goes straight up, blasting through it's skull and melting it's brain. The right head goes limp, and I slip out quickly. I fly up again, catching the gaze of the last head.
It moves much slower then before as it bites at me. I guess the vortex was it's only other attack. I fly backwards, out of its range, and make another beam. I aim this one at its eye, but the head moves out of the way, blasting it's ear off instead.
It howls and tries to move forwards, but with only one head, it can't control the body well enough for it to matter. As it distracts itself with moving, I fly closer and send a beam through it's eye, successfully this time. It howls for a second before going limp, along with the rest of the body.

[I knew you could do it! Just make sure not to die to anything else. I have a special reward for you. ~Blak]
As soon as I read the end of the message, all the power leaves my body, and I feel more exhausted than I have ever before. I fall to the ground and lay there, waiting for the feeling to pass.
