Traveling Through The Heavens, I Am The Avada Sword Master

Chapter 162: Fatal temptation and breakfast

Looking at Nyarlathotep's extremely seductive outfit and listening to the enchanting sounds from her tender lips...

Seeing such a tempting scene first thing in the morning, who could resist that?

Chen Yu, for one, felt he couldn't.

Faced with this situation, Chen Yu had to admit that he was momentarily moved.

Chen Yu felt his heart beating incredibly fast, and his breathing became tense and rapid.

It felt as if someone had shot him in the chest with Cupid's arrow.

But as his gaze moved down, seeing the breakfast Nyarlathotep had meticulously prepared, his fervent heart instantly felt as if a basin of cold water had been poured over it, quickly cooling down.

Looking at the strange-shaped food on the plate, exuding an eerie aura, Chen Yu couldn't help but feel that it wasn't something humans could eat.

Chen Yu first pointed at the breakfast, which looked suspiciously like a sandwich, and asked Nyarlathotep, "What is this thing?"

Seeing Chen Yu interested in the sandwich she made, Nyarlathotep immediately picked up the plate containing the sandwich and introduced it to Chen Yu, "This is a nutritious and delicious sandwich, Darling!"

"I recognize the two slices of bread, but can you tell me what that black, constantly squirming thing in the middle is?"

"It's a Shoggoth! One little Shoggoth every day keeps you energetic all day long!"

Nyarlathotep still spoke with full energy, not feeling that there was anything wrong with having Chen Yu eat a Shoggoth.

Shoggoth is an endearing term for Shoggoths, which are amorphous protoplasmic organisms.

As one of the most terrifying monsters in the Cthulhu Mythos, amorphous Shoggoths can transform into any shape and differentiate into any organ according to their controller's instructions to perform various tasks.

They were once created as slaves by the Elder Things, then after continuous division and evolution, they gained intelligence and rebelled, eventually being suppressed by the Elder Things.

They are adept at mimicking their Master's form, usually in an unintelligent state, but highly intelligent individuals possess extremely terrifying adaptability.

Recalling the information about Shoggoths and then looking at that black, gelatinous mass, Chen Yu felt his expression stiffen a little.

Nyarlathotep, are you sure a Shoggoth is edible?

Am I eating the Shoggoth, or is the Shoggoth eating me?

Swallowing this thing, what's the difference from Princess Iron Fan eating Sun Wukong?

Moreover, Chen Yu didn't think his Carnivore skill could digest an existence like a Shoggoth.

Besides, whether he could even bite it was a question.

The Shoggoth sandwiched between the bread seemed to sense Chen Yu's gaze, and its black, viscous body began to emit a quiet green light, extending a long, eye-covered tentacle from its fluid body, beginning to gaze deeply into Chen Yu's eyes.

It wasn't until Nyarlathotep lightly patted the Shoggoth's extended eyeball and said, "No mischief," that the Shoggoth retracted its tentacle.

As if Nyarlathotep was worried that Chen Yu was eating a Shoggoth for the first time and wouldn't know how, she thoughtfully began to explain how to eat a Shoggoth.

"The book says that high-end ingredients only require simple preparation. Darling, you can spread some mustard on it and pop it whole into your mouth! And Shoggoth is a very delicious food!"

Nyarlathotep saw Chen Yu was still unmoved, thinking he didn't like mustard, so she picked up mayonnaise and held it in her palm: "If Darling doesn't like mustard, mayonnaise also pairs better with Shoggoth!"

Looking at the mayonnaise Nyarlathotep pulled out from who knows where, Chen Yu was already too exhausted to complain.

This wasn't a question of what sauce to pair it with; it was a question of whether this thing was edible at all.

"No, how do you think humans can eat this thing?"

"Of course, it's the knowledge from the Holy Grail, plus my clever wisdom!"

Nyarlathotep said as a matter of course.

"Nyarlathotep descended into this world as a Servant. The moment she arrived, the Holy Grail bestowed upon her some knowledge of this era. She learned that people on this island nation like to eat sandwiches and drink milk in the morning, so Nyarlathotep planned to prepare these for Darling, especially sashimi sandwiches, which are very popular among young people!"

"However, when I went to buy breakfast this morning, I found that the sandwiches and milk in the store were not fresh at all. To let Darling taste a fresh breakfast, Nyarlathotep personally prepared a loving breakfast for Darling."

"Darling, don't worry, I thoroughly cleaned this little Shoggoth! It's guaranteed fresh and clean, absolutely safe to eat raw!"

Hearing Nyarlathotep say that the little Shoggoth sandwiched between the two slices of bread had been washed, Chen Yu didn't know what expression to make, only saying helplessly, "Well, thank you very much!"

"You're welcome, Darling, it's what I should do!"

Nyarlathotep scratched her head sheepishly, seemingly thinking Chen Yu was praising her.

After confirming that the sandwich in Nyarlathotep's hand was inedible, Chen Yu looked at the other food on the table.

Following Chen Yu's gaze, Nyarlathotep pointed at the yellowish, foul-smelling pus in the cup on the table and said, "This is the milk of a Black Goat's Young, very nutritious. Darling, would you like to try some?"

Milk of a Black Goat's Young?

That kind of Black Goat whose body is a huge mass, with a huge mouth, black whip-like tentacles growing from the mass, and huge hooves below?

Does that thing even have milk?

No, can that thing's milk be drunk?!?!

I can already see eyeballs floating in the glass!!!!

Chen Yu clutched his head, feeling a headache just looking at the "goat's milk" in Nyarlathotep's hand.

It felt like every glance cost him a bit of sanity.

If he drank that thing directly, his sanity would drop to zero, alright!

"Sorry, Nyarlathotep. I'm not hungry right now. Why don't you eat it instead?"

Chen Yu refused Nyarlathotep's carefully prepared breakfast.

He was afraid he might get sick from eating it.

"Darling isn't hungry? Come have a bite. I spent a lot of effort catching that Shoggoth this morning..."

Nyarlathotep lightly bit her lip, and mist welled up in her bright purple eyes, making her appear so pitiful.

"No, I'm really not hungry!"

Chen Yu turned his head away, not daring to look at Nyarlathotep's movingly pitiful appearance.

He was afraid that if he softened and agreed to Nyarlathotep's request, he would lose one of his resurrection items.

"Hmph, Darling is a bad guy! Nyarlathotep isn't talking to you anymore!"

Seeing that Chen Yu was unwilling to eat the loving breakfast she had carefully prepared for him, Nyarlathotep's temper flared up. She pouted, looking very displeased.

She hoped to use this reaction to make Chen Yu compromise, to make Chen Yu taste how "delicious" her handmade loving breakfast was.

Or perhaps Chen Yu would coax her, as according to the knowledge from the Holy Grail, appropriate friction seemed to enhance mutual affection.

Seeing Nyarlathotep, whose mouth could practically hang an oil pot, Chen Yu bypassed her and prepared to walk out of the room.

Eating it was impossible; he would never eat that thing in his life.

Seeing Chen Yu walk away heartlessly without even glancing at her, Nyarlathotep immediately panicked. She disregarded her little tantrum, quickly stuffed the loving breakfast she had prepared for him into her mouth, and followed him while chewing: "Darling, where are you going? Take Nyarlathotep with you!"

Chen Yu looked at Nyarlathotep's constantly moving mouth, stopped, and said, "I'm going out to gather information. Since the Holy Grail War has begun, I naturally need to understand the general movements of the others. By the way, didn't you just say I was a bad guy and weren't going to talk to me?"

Nyarlathotep retorted with an awkward laugh, "That was then, this is now. Not talking to Master was what the Nyarlathotep from before said; it has nothing to do with the current Nyarlathotep! And Nyarlathotep needs to protect Darling closely; it's not safe outside!"

After being summoned last night, Nyarlathotep keenly noticed that the entire city seemed to be under surveillance. Invisible, tangible, mimetic, and possessing familiar spirits constantly shuttled through the city for reconnaissance.

Upon realizing she was being monitored, Nyarlathotep decisively teleported Chen Yu to an area without familiar spirit surveillance and blocked her connection with the Holy Grail, ensuring that the other party wouldn't trace her and Darling through her Servant status.

But she didn't expect her Darling to be so worrisome. He could have stayed in the safe room until the Holy Grail War ended, but instead, he wanted to leave the safe zone.

Didn't he know that the outside was full of various familiar spirits for monitoring?

Oh, what a troublesome Darling. What would he do without the beautiful, pretty, gentle, and virtuous Nyarlathotep? Nyarlathotep suddenly sighed. Chen Yu felt bewildered hearing it. Looking at Nyarlathotep's attire and the pair of argali horns on her head, he thought that if she went out with him, he wouldn't need to gather information; it would just cause a sensation.

Even if she claimed it was cosplay, Nyarlathotep's current outfit was too revealing.

"Nyarlathotep, your current attire is very conspicuous. Besides, I don't plan to go far; I'm just going to find an uninhabited place to summon some birds as familiar spirits."

"Attire?"

Nyarlathotep looked down at her outfit and didn't notice any problems.

But since Darling thought her attire was conspicuous and he didn't want her to be so conspicuous, then she would change.

As Nyarlathotep made a magical girl transformation gesture, her body began to be covered by "holy light." When Nyarlathotep finished transforming, the style of her clothes also changed.

Her apron transformed into a cool JK uniform, exuding a youthful aura.

The attire featured classic black and white colors, and her slender legs, wearing thigh-high socks beneath the short skirt, were extremely attractive.

The magical patterns on her face and forehead had disappeared, as had the horns on her head, and even her twin tails had become long, flowing hair.

Her fair skin contrasted sharply with the dark uniform, making her appear even more charmingly delicate.

Nyarlathotep's face held a captivating smile, her eyes sparkling as if hiding endless passion and vitality.

"There, Darling, this should be fine, right?"

Nyarlathotep twirled in front of Chen Yu, her hair fluttering, showcasing her new look.

Looking at the vibrant and youthful Nyarlathotep, Chen Yu felt his heart stir again.

However, seeing Nyarlathotep's still chewing mouth and hearing the "Shoggoth!" "Shoggoth!" cries coming from her mouth, Chen Yu felt his heart calm down once more.

To conceal his complex feelings, Chen Yu could only quicken his steps out of the love hotel and cast a Confundo on Nyarlathotep to make her less noticeable.

Arriving in an alley, he used a spell to summon a flock of birds, took out ultra-small cameras from the Serenitea Pot, fixed them onto the summoned birds, and instructed these birds to fly around to monitor the movements of Matou Kariya, Tokiomi Tohsaka, and Kirei Kotomine.

Because Chen Yu only knew the lairs of these three people. As for where Waver Velvet, Kayneth El-Melloi Archibald, and Kiritsugu Emiya lived, Chen Yu truly didn't know.

He only remembered that Waver lived in a residential building, using a suggestion spell to live with an elderly foreign couple, while Kenneth and Kiritsugu both seemed to live in hotels. As for which hotel, Chen Yu was not yet clear and needed to investigate further.

So he could only have some birds watch the Matou Residence, the Tohsaka Residence, and the Holy Church, while the remaining birds were allowed to fly freely in Fuyuki City to see if they could find the hiding places of the other three in advance.

Chen Yu wasn't worried about his surveillance methods being discovered by other Masters. Except for Kiritsugu Emiya, other Magi were not very knowledgeable about technology.

But even Kiritsugu Emiya couldn't spot the miniature cameras on the birds at a glance. After all, the miniature cameras were only the size of a grain of rice, hidden in the birds' feathers, making them very difficult to discover.

There was even less to worry about with other Magi. According to the data, Magi mostly used magic like illusions, bounded field camouflage, or suggestion to mislead others, and very few Magi would guard against electronic devices.

It was even a question whether some Magi could even use electronic devices.

Not to mention that these electronic devices were all produced by Tony Stark, far surpassing the surveillance equipment on the market by many times.

"Darling, are you having these birds monitor the enemy's movements? Good idea, Nyarlathotep will help too!"

Nyarlathotep waved her small hand, and a deep purple spatial rift opened behind her.

Hundreds of otherworldly bees were summoned by Nyarlathotep.

These bees glowed with a quiet purple light. They had no eyelids, and their segmented antennae twisted constantly.

Their ten slender legs were covered in black glowing tentacles, and their lower bodies were folded, with nearly circular wings growing triangular scales.

Looking at this swarm of otherworldly bees, each the size of a pigeon, and feeling the magical aura they emitted, Chen Yu felt that Nyarlathotep summoned the swarm not for reconnaissance, but for an air raid.

This thing, no matter how he looked at it, resembled a variation of the Shaggai from the Cthulhu Mythos.

Watching the swarm of otherworldly bees continuously emerging from the deep purple spatial rift, Chen Yu quickly stopped Nyarlathotep from continuing to summon them.

"Nyarlathotep, we're here to scout, not to fight. The flying noise of these bees is too loud and easily discovered! And their peculiar appearance, obviously not a local species, would only make other Magi more wary, alright?"

Hundreds of bees constantly buzzed and flapped their wings as they flew, like flies magnified dozens of times.

Nyarlathotep looked at the otherworldly bee swarm, which Chen Yu disliked, and said somewhat unconvinced, "Did I do something wrong then? Darling, what do you suggest? Should I dismiss them?"

"No, it's not entirely useless. Just wait for me for a moment."

Chen Yu looked at the spatial rift behind Nyarlathotep and suddenly remembered the Mirror Dimension magic he knew.

If he sent these bee swarms to the Mirror Dimension, could he then command them to observe other Magi without leaving a trace in the Mirror Dimension?

After understanding that Nyarlathotep could completely control this swarm of otherworldly bees, Chen Yu began to chant a spell.

The space appeared to have countless refractions, and a nearly transparent spatial rift was opened by Chen Yu.

Looking at the Mirror Dimension entrance, which caused spatial displacement, Chen Yu quickly had Nyarlathotep command the otherworldly bee swarm to pour into it.

Seeing all the bee swarms pour into the Mirror Dimension, Chen Yu and Nyarlathotep both closed their respective opened spatial rifts.
