Chapter 44 – 044 – Arson of the Great Sanctuary # 1

044 – Arson of the Great Sanctuary # 1

Madeleine Michelan.

The man who works under the name Michelan, the president of the Artists’ Association, seemed ignorant of everything in the world.

It almost makes me snort every time I look at people who aren’t beautiful and their words and actions.

‘No one understands the true value of my art! ‘Stupid bastards.’

Michelan felt lonely.

There is no one who can discuss art and life at the same level as you.

Originally, being an artist was lonely.

‘Of course, the author of this devil’s tale is a man I can recognize. Rust, what kind of man is he? It looks like a vulgar pornographic novel, but the grammar is sophisticated and the vocabulary used is amazing.’

The new words that appeared in 「Chicken Island」 And the newly released novel 「Non-Virgin」 Were rapidly changing the world.

Creating words like ‘chat’, ‘cock’, and ‘pussy’ and spreading them around the world made me wonder what kind of person could create something so terrible.

‘If it’s terrible, the work of that wooden monk from earlier was also quite terrible in many ways!’

Monk Hyde.

Michelan felt bad when he remembered the pale man’s pale face. The story I heard earlier was written in a way that even infants would think was childish.

‘I should have beaten him up so bad that he could never call himself an artist again!’

It was a time when my fists started itching with that thought.

Creepy-.

Artist Michelan felt that what could be called the air of the basilica suddenly became cool.

What on earth happened?

Just then someone shouted.

“Well, well, what is that guy! “What is that guy?”

It was the painter Bonaccio.

Michelan turned his head at his urgent voice. Then, someone clung to Michelan’s masterpiece, ‘Pieta’, like a spider!

And it was loudly shouting.

“Guah ahhhhh !!!!!!”

Michelan.

Although he could not be said to be deeply religious, he grew up listening to the words of the church from a young age, and all of his artwork was written in the Bible.

The Savior and the Virgin.

Creation of the first human, Adam─.

Day of Judgment – these were Michelan’s main works of art.

For that reason, the situation unfolding in front of his eyes was truly terrifying, and his spine felt like it was spinning.

A man clinging to a sacred statue of the Virgin Mary and shouting such blasphemous screams—.

“Who are you! Who on earth dares to cling to the statue of the Virgin Mary? You bastard! Come down quickly! Come here!”

He was a man wearing a red cross mask.

The robe he was wearing was also stained red and blood-red, and it looked very ominous and had a feeling that shook people’s hearts.

Soon the man clinging to the Virgin Mary statue spoke.

“The Virgin? Nothing like that exists in this world!!! They are the ones who treat this insignificant woman like the Virgin Mary!!!! Haha!!! In the end, this rock is nothing more than a non-virgin!!!”

“Hey, you’re crazy! Lord, please tell me what Michelan didn’t hear!”

How dare you deny the existence of the Virgin Mary.

And now, that man was clearly clinging to the Virgin Mary and insulting her existence. Is there anyone in the world who is not so afraid of heavenly punishment?

Michelan felt as if his common sense had been distorted, and his hands and feet were shaking as if he would be punished just by looking at this scene.
It was then.

“Rust! You are entering this great temple! It’s not like demons like you can’t enter the Great Temple… !?”

Durgien’s tomboy, Lady Milione, was very frightened and began to tremble. After hearing her story, everyone recognized who the man in front of them was.

Rust, the loudest and most boisterous male devil in Durgien.

He appeared in this temple.

“I get it! You showed up to rape me, even me… !”

Milione said something crazy.

Of course, no one focused on Milione’s story.

It was because I was overwhelmed by what could be called the ‘pressure’ emanating from the being in front of me.

Michelan had always wanted to meet a being called ‘Rust’, but-. She regretted why she had thought that way.
She felt only fear now.

“Everyone, why don’t you show some facial expressions. Even if there is a real Virgin Mary, and she has power, she is just a stone. “Is a rock a god?”

Zek-.

Finally, the man came down from the Pietà statue.

He then began kicking the statues of the Savior and the Virgin with his feet. It was an extremely violent act, and he seemed to have no fear of heavenly punishment.

“Tell me, is this your savior? Is your savior this stone? No, it’s just a stone. It’s just an idol you made! You idiots, Milione!”

“Oh, Rust called my name!”

“I have the power of ‘hypnosis’ that allows me to control the non-virgin I raped at will! I command you! Milione, destroy this Pieta statue!”

“Well, my body moves as it pleases.” Rust, you control me as you please! No, no!”

It seemed that the tomboyish Lady Milione of the Archibald family was being manipulated by Rust’s words.

What exactly does ‘hypnosis’ mean?

People couldn’t understand the situation.

In fact, hypnosis was a concept that was difficult for people in this dark age to understand because it began to be recognized in earnest in Austria in the 18th century.

Still, Michelan thought it was a very dangerous and terrifying ability.

Quaz, that is-!

Finally, Lady Milione pulled the Pieta with all her might and broke it.

A rare masterpiece.

Seeing what he had dared to think of as such be ruined so miserably, Michelan felt as if his hair had turned gray, and he had aged 30 years.

Haha! This is art! When the day of judgment comes, the bugs who worship the rocks and graffiti that will all rot and burn away—I am the day of judgment—!”

Rust said that and started running around the main temple. He took the oil out of his hand and started spraying it on the mural, eventually setting it on fire.

Grumbling-.

Burning Great Crusade.

Seeing that, the artists shouted in embarrassment.

“My, Prince Michelan! Try something! “All the pictures we drew are burning!”

“We must stop it! We have to stop that guy!”

“Who can stop it? “You’re going!”

Artists who prided themselves on loving and protecting culture and heritage more than anyone else did not even flinch when a vicious person appeared who directly destroyed their paintings.

From the beginning, they were artists.

If he knew how to resist injustice and excelled in military power, he would have become a knight, not an artist.

When everything was ruined, like on Judgment Day, the artistic sense they were so proud of, the brushes, chisels, nails and hammers, were of no use.

Now all the artists had to do was shout at the guards.

“Hey, guard! What are the guards doing?”

“Ugh, my body will move on its own—I’ll knock down the guard!”

It had been a long time since all the guards had fallen at the hands of Lady Milione, who was starting to run wild for some reason. Amidst this total chaos, Michelan was amazed.

Everything you’ve worked so hard for your whole life disappears in a matter of bean-smelling oil and a small candle.

“I was a worthless human being. I am an uncivilized person whose entire life’s hard work will be wiped out by the light of a single candle. “It’s okay to end up like this because you boasted about such a topic.”

“Michelan, what are you talking about now? “We must quickly stop that man, Rust!”

“Yes you bastard! Dorvinci! Don’t you dare mention Rust’s name in vain! Look at this scene now! Isn’t it more artistic than anything else? Art is a spark! Art was fiery! And burning is sex, which means art is sex! Hi-Hi! Sex!”

“What the fuck, what kind of crazy talk is this all of a sudden! Hey! Why that torch! Ugh, don’t do it! Someone stop Michelan! Michelan goes crazy and sets fire to the cathedral!!!”

“Light the fire! Light it up! Keekeeeeek! Rust, please take my soul! This Michelan will set off a beautiful flame! Hehe, fireworks!”

# ​ ​​​ ​ # # ​ #

It was an hour later that the fire in the Great Sanctuary subsided.

The structure of the building remained strong, but the paintings and carefully carved stone statues inside could not escape the fire.

The Great Sanctuary was horribly burned down.

Looking at that building, my eyes became dizzy.

“What a terrible…” .”

I was thinking of just burning some pictures.

However, Michelan, the head of the Artists’ Association, suddenly lost his mind and started setting fires everywhere, and as a result, the Basilica was reduced to charred ash.

He was saying that the arson of this cathedral was not Hyde’s fault.

“Haha, Master Rust will come back! Dear Rust! This Michelan did it! Make me your servant! Hehe!”

Michelan, the head of the artists’ association, was now tied to a rope and being dragged by the soldiers. The white-haired knight looked at him with narrow eyes and approached the artists and asked.

“Michellan, I never thought he was actually a stooge of the cultist Rust. Artists’ Association, are you also complicit?”

“No! We really don’t know! Lord Parmas! It’s unfair!”

“But… It was such a shock that it felt like the back of my head was being broken. They destroy works of art mercilessly. I wonder if there was anything more artistic than that fleeting moment…”

“Take all these people away! “I’ll have to ask the interrogator for more details!”

Parmas, an old knight with long white hair, shouted. He was wearing a long-brimmed hat on his head and was a very noble-looking man.

Soon, the soldiers began transporting artists, including Michelan, under the orders of Parmas, a member of the Six Knights.

Now Parmas’ blue eyes turned to us.

“Lady Milione. I heard you were manipulated by Rust. Did you say he used a strange ability called ‘hypnosis’? “I will have to tell you in detail what happened.”

“Sir, it felt like Rust’s meaning was being forced into my head. “When that will take control of my body, it felt like we became ‘one.'”

“Do you feel like we are one? What does that mean?”

“This was all sex. Rust has insulted me again. And when we became one, I learned about Rust’s thoughts and future plans!”

“Become one…” I don’t know what you’re talking about, but are you saying you were manipulated? Like a puppet?”

“Okay! Rust controlled me!”

No, just manipulate it as you please.

Is an ability like hypnosis real?

Milione single-handedly defeated the soldiers and destroyed the Pietà statue to help Rust.

It was a very crazy year.

However, the gold-plated knight Parmas frowned when he heard that Milione had learned about Rust’s plan.

“Rust’s plan? What do you mean?”

“Rust, that man is planning a huge conspiracy here in Durgien! Okay! I know what Rust means! Rust, that man, he will soon be out on the streets and start preaching!”

“Well, is that real!”

It was the old knight Parmas who was embarrassed.

Is that real?

Of course not.

Am I crazy?

Preaching on the street in Rust’s body?

Milione was talking wildly, as if he knew what I was thinking.

“Ras will show up too! Lars and Rust! And their followers, the Blood Crusade, rise up in Durgien!”

Ras will show up?

What he meant was that if Rust didn’t show up, Ras would go on a rampage and kill the civilians.

“I guess I’ll have to tell the guards! Lady Milione, go back to Archbishop Archibald’s house and stay in peace for the time being! Because your responsibility for this arson is not small!”

Zek-.

Gold Plated Knight Parmas now looked at me.

Less than 10 knights of the golden cross.

The gaze was very sharp and bloody.

“Are you that Hyde? “I received a letter from Selim with news about you.”

“It seems like there were only stupid stories written there. Selim was a fool.”

“Oh, does that mean I am not good enough as a teacher? The disciple’s foolishness is the teacher’s fault. Be honest. Hyde, I hate you. “I will watch.”

He seemed to have a great grudge against me because his disciple Selim was executed. No, I didn’t kill Selim.

The executioner killed him.

I even volunteered as a lawyer to get Selim’s sentence reduced to life imprisonment?

“Let’s go!”

As I watched Parmas’s yellow cloak move away, I felt a very unpleasant feeling. Why does he hate me, an innocent person, when he didn’t teach his students properly?
A very strange old man.
