My level increased.
No, that''s not all.
The Dancer held enough magic power that even after hitting max level, it reached saturation.

When levels increase, you get stronger.
In other words, it means I''m stronger than I was yesterday.
But the problem is, the opponent is even stronger.
The Dancer was very strong, but the ''Failed Creation'' was beyond that.
Even as I was being thrown back, focusing my eyes was probably habit.

[Test Flesh No.9 Failed Creation lv1?0]
[Traits]
[Imitation], [Copycat]... [Emotion Burst]... [Magic], [Chimera]
──────────────
They really packed in a lot of traits.
Does this reflect Pelerian''s will who created it?
If so, he was truly greedy.
The difference in our weight sses must be dozens of times.
Swoooosh-!
Being kicked by such a being, most of the energy applied to my body converted to kic energy.
I was thrown back at about the same speed as the kick.
The impact that was momentarily dyed woulde when I hit the wall.
I might explode into t snake jerky.
That can''t happen.
「Using stic Burst lv1」
It''s time to focus on ''stic'' rather than ''Burst''.
Though I couldn''t control the movement, instead of exploding, my body started bouncing.
Ta-ta-ta-ta-tang!
Truly lightning-fast bouncing.
I clenched my mouth shut to avoid throwing up.
After bouncing about eight times.
Surprisingly, the Failed Creation came charging like a tiger to kick me again.
I twisted my body with all my might in mid-air.
Instead of me, its foot destroyed the wall.
Kwang!
Your next chapter awaits on mvl
Dungeon walls are extremely hard.
Yet that wall crumbled like tofu.
Seeing that, I realized something.
''It could have escaped the dungeon too!''
No matter how sturdy the dungeon materials are, with that much strength, it could have broken down the closed door.
The reason it stayed obedient until now is obvious.
"...It probably thought the cage was the whole world."
The suddenly thrown chimera must have thought this dungeon was the entire world.
So it wandered the dungeon without thinking of escape.
''It would have eventually escaped when hungry.''
But how long would that havested?
That monster would have eventually left, unable to ovee hunger.
And for the first time, it would have shown itself under the bright sunlight.
Hmm, thinking about it, it''s pit-
"Failed-! Creation!"
Puk!
I got hit while feeling pity.
It was incredibly fast.
Though it didn''t have sharp ws or de-like shins.
It kicked and struck me with primitive methods like a child fighting.
"Shame! Embarrassment! Failure! Faiiiry!"
Are you an ogre?
It spouts random words it must have heard from Pelerian.
It was quite bizarre.
The problem is that this bizarre creature is tremendously strong and fast.
I''m not slow, but it''s much faster than me.
Kwang!
Thankfully I borrowed stic Burst.
Without it, I would have died from my body bursting long ago.
The stic Burst skill had an effect simr to ''Strike Immunity''.
I would get hurt if cut by des, but didn''t take much damage from punches or kicks.
Tu-tu-tu-tu-tung!
Though there was the drawback of feeling like my brain would be crushed as my body bounced dozens of times.
''Why did you make it so ridiculously strong?''
"Ungh..."
Yes, it would be nice if the body I switch to is strong and sturdy.
''Take responsibility!''
"I will take responsibility. I''ll lose."
Though I don''t know how he''ll take responsibility.
As I got up after being thrown back, it came charging at me with a roar.
"Sel-ena!"
What are you saying!
"Aaargh! Damn it!"
"Saaak!"
「Using Heart-eating Leap lv5」
I jumped up.
Not to face it, but whoosh, upward!
And the Failed Creation passed where I had been.
Kwaaang!
It broke through the wall and went straight through.
I gained a very brief moment.
「Using Stealth lv10」
It''s not running away but a tactical retreat.
Actually, I was once known as the assassin in darkness of the great forest.
It couldn''t find me.
"To the control room, go to the control room."
I was nning to anyway.
After shing, I understood clearly.
Just as I barely handled the Dancer, I couldn''t beat this Failed Creation head-on.
''What do you think this chimera was made from?''
Chimeras arebinations of multiple monsters.
You could call itprehensive art of creating new species by gathering essences that manifest monster traits.
"...Fairy."
''Huk!''
I knew he was a terrible old man but.
He finally went as far as forced human experimentation mixing his own race with monsters?
"Of course I used my blood!"
Pelerian growled in defense.
''No wonder it''s ugly.''
"And... well. Dragon and... World Tree? At least those seem certain."
Good grief.
The concept is elementary school level character creation.
Descendant of chaos and light with dragon blood flowing through them, left eye sees through lies and right eye sees the future, a fallen angel.
Isn''t it a chimera with that level of overpowered settings?
''Would have been perfect without the fairy blood.''
"Even so it''s a failure. Just look at that appearance."
That''s true.
Booming sounds echoed from behind.
It seems to be searching everywhere unable to find me.
Though I barely reached the control room, I''m scared it might follow soon.
Need to finish this quickly.
I asked Pelerian.
''We''re using that method, right?''
"Yes."
Our hearts were in sync without needing words.
If we can''t face it head-on, we just need to hunt it another way.
And thinking about the days spent here.
There was a means we could fully utilize in this situation.
"Should have burned it all from the start."
I manipted the control room''s machinery as Pelerian directed.
Repeatedly pulling pins and turning things.
No matter how much I try, I still don''t understand how this works.
"Restarting incineration procedure."
"Test flesh not recovered. Incineration impossible."
The magic spirit repeated what it said before.
The chimeras were released because Zhanil and his humanpanion messed with the machinery.
Because of that, the ongoing incineration procedure was halted.
And now.
Pelerian was trying to restart the incineration procedure.
It''s not a suicide attempt. I had a n too.
''Isil, can you help?''
Because Isil was by my side.
