Chapter 109
109, “Palace”
“Ja . . You guys go investigate properly and come back to me”
Receiving the order from Epis, the zombies and the skeletons dispatched into the Unholy Wood .
So that they could find the entrance to the next floor of the Unholy Wood .
The next floor of Unholywood is called “THE PALACE” by Epis and the others but there is a gatekeeper at the entrance of the palace between the next floor and the “graveyard” that is the current level .
Epis is one of the strongest people in this unholywood, and despite that, Demilich is hostile, so it seems that she was not allowed to enter .
Of course me and Lisa Haruna don’t even need to confirm our hostility to Demilich .
Given the volume and strength of Demirich’s subordinates, it’s not a good idea to fight from the front as it would make a fuss and harder to attain our objective,so we were looking for another route .
Thus we headed towards the entrance of THE PALACE .
Even if we don’t break through from the front there is a need to get closer to the entrance of the palace .
“This looks a quite tough”
Lisa Haruna silently muttered…
“Un…There are far more enemies than I expected”
Even though we had finally got closer to the entrance of THE PALACE for the time being,
but there was the Gate keeper along with a lot of undeads lurking around with huge number of rolling
monsters in the surroundings so it was quite a number .
I still think I can beat them, but I’m sure they will scream to gather more allies, and it would be difficult to break through .
I wonder if there is any other better way …
“That’s it! Hey Epis, Lisa Haruna, how do you tell a human different from a monster when they look similar?”
“It depends on the monster . Smart ones notice, stupid ones don’t . ”
” I was attacked quite incessantly though . ”
“It does look like an ordinary adventurer . I am sure it will attack for now . If it’s a monster companion they’ll surely call the others, and if I counterattack without saying anything, I am still an enemy . ”
It’s a pretty rough identification method .
Is it all right monster?
“By the way, why you doing something like that?”
“No, I thought if I could infiltrate them as a monster to get in . ”
“There is a possibility that u won’t be caught , but getting in looks tough . As unrecognized and uncertified monsters aren’t allowed for now . ”
Ehhh…Why~ ?
It’s more strict than human towns .

“But I think if well behaved infiltration is possible . They might think we are like a stray zombie . ”
“I see . After you go inside, you don’t know what you would face . ”
“That’s right . Vampires look just like humans, as you can see . I don’t know if all the undead inside know the vampire’s face . ”
Once we successfully infiltrate everything will work out I guess .
For that it would be better to find another entrance rather than breaking through the main gate .
It’s not unusual for a large building to have more than one entrance . Usually there will be something like a tools and maintenance entrance or like an emergency entrance/exit already built .
The zombies that Epis called for are looking for it, but I guess I shall help too .
“Hana, Appear-“
Hana (wombat style) appeared from the pillar of light .
Epis made a surprised look .
“This is my summon beast, Hana . Let’s have Hana look for it . It looks just like a small animal, and it’s useful to search in small places undetected . “
Thus I asked Hana to go ahead and start exploring .
Simultaneously I too began searching .

109, “Palace” Part 2
A short distance from the palace ,we found the zombies heading to the palace . We waited there for an opportunity .
I rip my clothes, put mud on my body, and use the makeup that Epis and Lisa Haruna had to make myself look pale to look like a zombie .
I approached them gently and then…
[Monster Parasite] Activated .
The others seemed to think of me as a zombie, so I approached them without worrying about anything .
When I did infiltrated several undead, two of them went into the palace as planned .
Ahhn… . Ome of the zombies seemed to recognize me thus I cleaved it into 2 before it could alert the others .
“Is it alright to finish thèm off ?Epis”
“Yes, There is no problem… . Since they are already dead”
“Ahh…That’s Right . ”
“Even if they are the same monsters, there are only a few of them who can be called companions . Others are just strangers and are hostile to me . ”
Its Ironical, but in a sense it is reciprocal too .

Well, that may be the standard for monsters .
I’ve clubbed them together , but they are of a different kind huh .
It was obvious not only from Epis but also from the actions of other monsters .
/> Within our sight as we were hiding behind the scenes, the upper species of zombies and skeletons started fighting .
Since they were excitedly fighting and we were quite far away hiding from them, we couldn’t clearly hear what they were saying but it seemed to be
a fight between the monsters that were under Elder Necromancer Demilich and those that were not .
The two gradually heated up and resorted to violence .
Finally the skeleton tore the zombie into 2
“Because you said you re going to finish off Demilich Sama that this has to
happen !”he seemed to be shouting .
That’s exactly as Epis had said .
It is quite troublesome to compete and fight even for monsters .
“UhOh, finally after so long there was a paradise for the undead… and it’s already ruined . ”
