Chapter 118
During the first day of exploring Neman, I probe in different ways throughout Neman . I check out the places such as the local mountains, rivers, fields, forests, and grasp the dangerous locations that have falling rocks and where monsters roamed – mainly the location where the dungeon is at .
We return to the inn afterward and rest our (tired) spirits . While everyone is in bed, I quietly sneak out from the inn .
I head out of the city while walking in the middle of the night . I hasten to all the locations where I checked out during the daytime, while relying on the moonlight and stars for directions .
“There it is . Now it’s time to get things going . “
I head to the back of the dungeon through one of the connected tunnels at the foot of the mountain . I can feel the rugged rocks through the soles at the bottom of my feet as I walk with the lantern in my hand, and while I stroll through the abandoned mine for a while as I did during the daytime, it becomes brighter . This is a dungeon type of lighting . I travel further through the momentum of the moment, there is a side hole shining ahead .
“Alright, found it . Let’s go . “
This is definitely a dungeon . The monsters don’t appear to come to the entrance, but if I go in a bit further, there will be some monsters . I move further inward .
“It doesn’t have a special sensation (compared to Unholywoods?) . “
Even though I’m entering the dungeon, there is not much different from being in a normal dark cave except it is brighter due to the magical element . I wonder if there are monsters around .
“Tsh! There it is . Alrighty, need to be careful …“
As I walk quietly for about a dozen minutes, I enter a slightly wider space, where there is something that appears to be a monster . There is a poisonous purple and yellow striped monitor lizard . To me, it happens to looks like a poisonous monster . What was the name of that poisonous monster when I was reading through the demon pictorial reference book?
I hide my presence hastily and then use [Stealth Gait] to get as close as possible to it, while avoiding being noticed as I approach it from the backside . The monitor lizard turns around when I’m approaching it with a distance less than 1 meter . Does it notice me with its natural instinct as I approach it? The monitor lizard is already battle-ready . It crouches down, turning its body toward me, and preparing to bite at any moment .
When this happens, I cancel [Stealth Gait] . I use quick movement right afterward .
“Al-right!“
I’m scared when it approaches my head, so I quickly move around toward its tail about 2 meters behind its head and touch it . I immediately use parasite – at the same time, parasite info is activated .
Race [Poison Monster Lv11]
Knowing thing like this may happen, wondering beforehand for such a case like this monster, I dart through the depths of the cave and escape from the lizard . After running for a while to create some distance, it lost track of me .

There are big spiders and moles with long claws throughout the path, but I evacuate myself to a quiet location for the time being . I may parasitize them later, but for the time being —
“Time to check to see if it was done properly . “
When I concentrate on my hands, there are three lines of light that are proof of parasite skill invoked . Since I released all connections except for two, the fact that it has increased by one means that the monitor lizard was successfully parasitized .
Alright then . I made a small prideful pose . I successfully parasitized a monster . Through this method, let’s parasitize instead of defeating it .
I continue strolling around the cave and parasitize some more monsters . In addition to monitor lizard, I also parasitized a bat and a spider . I feel gloomy from having these many monsters, but it’s probably because I’m in a cave .
Each of the monsters has the following:
[Blood Bat Lv8]
[Sonic Widow Lv18]
That’s all for the information . Although they appeared small, I am surprised to see the spider has the highest level . Well, isn’t it because of a strong monster? To think about it, I believe the average adventurer is around level 10 to 20, so it doesn’t seem to be weak at all .

So then, I wonder what kind of skill I can learn, I use up the five connections that can be parasitized with, so I decide to head back for now . And when I return to the entrance …
“Oh, that was the first parasitized lizard . “
The same monitor lizard is still in the same location . This means that this is its territory .
“… So that’s it . “
I want to observe the monitor lizard for a while longer because it’s fascinating . There is a large, sizeable rock so I hid behind it and observe it using the dual wielding skill combo of detecting and extinguishing presence .
The monitor lizard stands still as if it’s sleeping with his eyes open, but it suddenly lifts its neck and begins to move its tongue .
I wonder if it has noticed something, and when I look around, the soil on the ground beyond the lizard’s line of sight is swelling up . A mole jumps out from the hole . Of course, it’s not just only a mole, but it’s a pretty creepy looking mole with four eyes and sharp claws . I’m very skeptical of such common sense in having four eyes while living in the soil, but while I’m thinking about such a thing, the monitor lizard attacks the mole .
The attack ends in a mere moment . The mole slashes with its claws, but it can’t deal any damage against the hard scales of the monitor lizard, and the mole’s head was eaten in a single pitiful bite . The world of monsters seems to be merciless as the weak is a meal for the strong . The food chain has developed from such an ecosystem . However, the monster was already aiming for its prey as it was getting up the moment the mole was about to leap out of the hole . I thought that the reptiles were quite intelligent:

Race [Poison Monster Lv1 → 4]
Skill [Venom] acquisition
Oh !?
The level suddenly improves .
This is the same leveling-up feeling when I parasitized humans . Fumufumu, this means that when a monster defeats another monster, the level of the monster also goes up, and the level of the monster I parasitized also rises, just like the humans . If I compare the monster race to a human class, it seems that the method is almost identical like before, so it’s quite easy to understand .
I am able to master the monster’s skills perfectly . In this case, it appears I can learn the skills of other monsters . While praying that other monsters will not kill the parasitic monsters, I quietly move through the place where the monitor lizard is and leave the dungeon .
“Oops, that’s right . Let’s take a look at the skill description . What kind of skill does this monster have to commemorate this occasion?“
Skill [Venom] is a skill that allows you to spit out the venom from your mouth .
“… Isn’t this too vulgar to use in public?“
