The Lord of Death, Levanov.
He is what is known as a High Immortal "Rich".
The High Immortals are a race of famous necromancers who have turned themselves into the undead in search of immortality, and Levanov is an older version of them.
The Levanovs are a race of even older immortals, the High Liches, if you will.
They've been the Four Heavenly Kings of the Demon Army for more than a hundred years before I was born.
He may or may not have lived longer than the Demon Lord.

His character is very foul and he has a bad temper.
After all, he has survived for hundreds of years in a demon society where power is everything.
Using his subordinates as shields is a piece of cake.
He will get down on his knees and tell hundreds of lies in order to survive.
He was the only one to return alive from a battlefield that had been wiped out.
He used to say, "Live to win.

(He probably fought the heroes after that, but I'm not surprised he's still alive .......

One of his necromantic arts is to take the corpse of another and make it his own body.
That's probably how he took the body of the Commander of the Order.
The magic power mixed with the distinctive smell of death, no doubt.
I'm sure he pretended to be killed by the heroes and survived.

(But that bastard, why is he in this place ......?

I don't think so, but did he notice me? I don't think so.
He's a magician type, so he's not good at detecting magic from a distance.
Basically, I've been living with very little magic.
And if he senses magic, he'll notice me right away.
If they did, they would show it a little.

(Then it's really a coincidence ......?

We need to be on the lookout anyway.
I instructed Amira to act as usual to avoid being noticed, and I did the same.
Like a child, I focused on my meal and kept my ears on Levanov.
Levanov is giving a speech as Marshal of the Order.

"The honor of knighthood is not something to be wielded lightly, ---- because ......

......That's a great performance by the way.
He plays the role of a mild-mannered old man who is far removed from the original Levanov.
No one will doubt that he is the Marshal of the Order.

"Well, that's enough of the old man's boring stories. It'll only make everyone sleepy.

A lot of laughter erupted.
He mixes soft talk with hard talk to create a sense of urgency.
You know how to give a speech.

You know how to give a good speech. ...... Oh, well, it's the birth of a new hero that's going to break everyone's boredom. I'd like to introduce you to the hero who just saved the city.

As the crowd buzzed, Levanov held out his hand toward them.

"Daryl, come forward.
"Yes?

At Levanov's words, the old man who had been eating his dinner stood up as if he had just eaten a bubble.
Noticing that everyone's attention was focused on him, he scrubbed his dirty mouth, stood up and hurried to the stage.
Perhaps he was nervous, but his movements were awkward.
I'm scurrying around. It's embarrassing.
People around me were yelling at me, and my father was responding with a friendly smile.

"Well, ......, that's not good. Tahahahahaha ......".

Levanov clears his throat and turns to face his father.
He fumbled in his pocket and pulled out a medal with a cross on it.

"...... Sir Daryl. You risked your life to save the city, to save your children, to defeat the demons. I'm proud of a hero like you. Please accept this medal.

When the father saw the medal Levanov presented him, he saluted reverently and straightened his back.

"...... Ha! Thank you very much, sir!

He then accepted the medal.
As I watched the whole thing, I understood.
Levanoff was licking his father's eyes from top to bottom as he focused on the medal.

(...... I see, Levanov came to see my father. ......!

There are many people who can defeat demons, but there are few who can do it alone and with overwhelming power.
There are many people who can defeat demons, but few can do it alone and with overwhelming power.
Levanov could not leave such a situation unattended.
It's clear that if left unchecked, he will become an enemy to himself.
He came to the city by chance to see if he could give his father a medal.
If he is easy to control, I will add him to my staff. If not, I will kill him as soon as ---- possible.

(The expression on Levanov's face reads: ......)

The utmost contempt for the lower life forms.
He took one look at him with a mocking, disgusted look, then looked down at his shrinking father and snickered.
It was a small gesture, but I'm sure of it.
As far as I know, Levanov is the only one who ever made such a low face.
He seemed to have figured out that my father was a demon slayer by some fluke or mistake.
...... Well, it's not hard to see that he's just a regular guy to the casual observer.
Levanov's face immediately returned to that of a marshal.

...... So, continue to strive to set an example for the Guard in protecting the city.
"Yes, sir! Yes, sir!

The conclusion I came to was to leave it alone.
I guess my father decided to leave it at that.
When he stepped down from the stage, he smiled embarrassedly while being chided by his colleagues.



"Whoa, old man, you can't concentrate on eating here. I'll leave you now.

With a round of applause, Levanov disappeared behind the curtain.

I've got to go to the bathroom.
"Oh!　Ranga!

I said to Gaelio, and I followed him.

Me too!
"You too, Amira!

Amira immediately follows me.

The women's room is over there!

Gaelio's voice echoed in vain behind me.
Even if he doesn't notice me, it's dangerous to leave him behind.
Feeling a strange connection, I went after Levanov.
