As soon as my eyes locked onto the figure standing over me it felt like time froze. Someone was inside my house right now . I was in my bed and they were standing over me.

In a single brief moment, thousands of calculations ran through my mind as I pulled from the knowledge of Heavenly Comprehension to draw from the ability to replicate any potion effect I had created before. Supercooled mist gathered around my body surprising the assailanti they tried to jump away as I finished the spell.

'Borealis Phalanx!'

The mist formed a spherical barrier around my body as spears of mist extended from it trying to impale the figure while they deftly and almost effortlessly dodged them as the room was trashed. I quickly shot out of my bed and summoned the Boosted Gear feeling my power increase substantially while quickly scouring my notifications and found it.

I reinforced the mist around me as the robed figure pulled out a sword and slashed the sword blurred and a sharp gale that screamed danger tore apart my shield like paper making me bend down to dodge it before stomping on the ground and creating a transmutation circle that sent a wave of spikes but my enemy crushed them with ease and rushed at me with speeds I could barely perceive. In the time it took for me to blink, he was already in front of my face.

'No point in conserving stamina if the gap is so high!'

Drawing on more power I replicated Borealis again, the frozen mist swirled in my lungs and I breathed out, sending a cascade of flame-like ice toward him while he quickly raised his sword to block it but he was still sent across the entire mansion from the blast, taking the opportunity I quickly used Insight on them.

[Robed Assasin]

A high-class expert Devil assassin specializing in Wind Magic, Curses and Swordplay. Their goal wasn't to kill you, but they are intent on kidnapping you even at the cost of their lives.

"{Balance Breaker: Limit Break}!"

The announcement rang out and I felt all of my parameters peak but in the time it took for my parameters to rise the Assasin also heard the announcement and rushed me even faster than before with his blade raised before swinging at me.

Schwing!

Gritting my teeth I activated focus, the world around me got blurry as my senses locked onto the assassin who had just cut my left arm off with his blade. I narrowed my eyes, Limit Break was still active.

Walls and ground shattered and I pulled in the rubble like a black hole onto my hand using dominator's touch, my gauntlet switched to Terra Catalyst and I increased the temperature of the giant boulder in my hand so fast that even the assassin looked like he was in slow motion thanks to Limit Break.

Red , the ball heated up.

Light red , the ball melted down to magma.

Orange , the giant ball of magma under command heated up even more.
