Destroying the Virgin-the Making of a Saint- - Chapter 16: Virgin Mary Who Became a Chrysalis

Over and over again… I repeated the procedure to the brink of madness, ripping the skin, cutting the flesh, and grinding away the bones… for what must have been hours on end.

With a waterfall-like stream of blood, I frantically kept on obliterating Akane’s body with the blade of the electric saw.

One unexpected development was that Akane had lost so much blood that it exceeded the amount of transfusion I had prepared for her. Even though I was not short on life-sustaining blood, I was stunned by my own inadequate preparation.

“…For a while, I need to refrain from doing anything that would cause Akane’s body to bleed.”

Until Akane became perfect, it seemed necessary to let her recuperate.

And… now, in front of my eyes, a chrysalis-like maiden who had been dismembered and left with only her head and torso was lying peacefully without feeling any pain.

Her severed limbs were going to be preserved in formalin or some other form of preservation treatment.

Although detached and devoid of temperature, they were still pieces of flesh that had been part of Akane, so throwing them away would be a shame, and above all, I wanted Akane herself to behold her own detached limbs.

“You’re beautiful, Akane.”

Akane, who had received my charity to the end without waking up, was kissed by me as a reward. Even the scars from the kiss on her torn lips were endearing now despite the strange sensation. What could be more blissful than my presence beside Akane’s tranquil sleep and her being clueless in this secret room that was permeated with the stench of her blood? No, there was none.

Having lost all her limbs, Akane was left with only her torso and head. Now, several tubes have been attached to her in order to maintain her life. Without the life support from these tubes and my support for her life, she would easily die. Indeed, she would die rather easily.

Right, Akane needed me. It could be argued that I made her body so that she would need me. With this, Akane must need me whether she wanted to or not.

What kind of expression would Akane make when she learned of this reality?

How would she react to the anomaly that had befallen her?

But however much despair you may feel, I shall embrace even that and love you.

Together, I shall spend all eternity with you.
