I’m the Final Boss Around Here (5)

Dominique (Duke) admired final bosses.

It was impressive to see one stop the protagonist’s party with overwhelming strength, but he admired even more the freedom to defy the world’s morality for the sake of what one believed was right.

A final boss’s convictions are completed through defeat.

Sometimes, having their convictions refuted by the protagonist helps them build an even more perfect ideal, and sometimes they pass those convictions on to the protagonist and live on forever.

And today, Dominique intended to pass his convictions on to a certain female knight and see them fulfilled.

Shing.

Holding a sword in one hand, he thought:

What would be the perfect retirement ceremony for an old man like me?

It couldn’t be some pointless death, like getting stabbed in the side while told to hold the flank.

Of course, any commander could die pointlessly on a battlefield, but that sort of death belonged in a war movie, not a final boss’s story...
