Reincarnated With Three Unique Skills

Aengus's tone softened slightly as he reassured the two Nagas. "Don't worry, I won't mistreat you. And one day, if I am pleased by your loyalty, I will grant you the freedom to choose whether to serve me or not. You can decide then."

With that, he turned away, heading toward one of the dead bodies, leaving Sienna and her father, Sanka, to exchange a heavy glance.

Sanka sighed deeply, his voice filled with remorse. "Daughter, it's all my fault for dragging you into this mess. I am such a failure."

Sienna tried to comfort him, forcing a cheerful tone. "I'm fine, Father. This was all written in our fate. And who knows? Our fortune might turn for the better by following him."

"But what about your mother and brother?" Sanka asked, his worry clear. "Will he let us meet them? If I don't return in time, won't they be left alone and at the mercy of those cruel people?"

"We'll have to ask him about that," Sienna replied, her gaze shifting to Aengus, who was now deeply focused on the dead body. "I'm sure he won't be that unreasonable, especially after what he promised us."

Just then, a voice interrupted their thoughts. "Hello, new ones!"

Sienna and Sanka turned to see one of Aengus's subordinates approaching with a friendly smile. Sienna quickly responded, "Y-Yes, hello!" while her father simply nodded, still in pain.

The man introduced himself with a grin. "My name is Yu Elvedaro. I'm Lord Aengus's local butler, in charge of his personal needs."

"So, his name is Aengus?" Sienna mused, finding the name both strange and powerful.

"Yes, you may call him Lord Aengus from now on," Butler Yu replied, his tone turning serious.

Sienna and Sanka nodded, though Sienna couldn't help but mentally nickname him 'Cold-faced Demon,' a name she found quite fitting given the situation. A mischievous smile played on her lips, but it quickly faded when Aengus's stern voice called out to them.

"Hey, stop talking. Come here."

Butler Yu nudged Sanka forward, offering him a helping hand as Sienna followed, her curiosity piqued.

When they reached him, Aengus looked at them intently. "I am going to merge with this one. Guard me, all of you. And don't even think of betraying me—I can kill you with just a thought."

His threat was clear, but Sienna and Sanka were more confused by his statement than intimidated. "Merge?" Sienna thought, her skepticism growing. "How is he going to merge with a Naga? Is that even possible?"

She sneered inwardly, finding the idea incomprehensible. But as she glanced at the other subordinates, all of whom wore expressions of nonchalance as if this were routine, she began to doubt her own understanding.

"Is he telling the truth? If so, how? Could he really be something more than just a royal blood—a devil, perhaps?" Sienna's mind raced with questions as she tried to grasp the extent of Aengus's power.

"MANAS, do it," Aengus commanded with a resolute tone, initiating the process of merging with the Naga. He knew their noble blood could enhance his body's potential and grant him the abilities of the Naga species, a powerful addition to his arsenal.

As MANAS took control, Aengus's body was enveloped in a dome of blue light, radiating an otherworldly aura that left everyone around him in stunned silence.

From Sienna's perspective, the transformation was beyond anything she had ever witnessed. "What's happening there?" she muttered, her voice barely audible as she watched the scene unfold with bated breath. The air around Aengus seemed to shimmer with an alien energy, and she dared not make a sound.

When the synthesis finally concluded, Sienna could hardly believe her eyes. Where Aengus had stood, there now lay the once-dead Naga, very much alive. But this was no ordinary resurrection—the creature before her was a towering Naga with five heads, each one exuding a deathly chill that sent shivers down her spine. Aengus himself was nowhere to be seen.

"What the hell?" Sienna cursed inwardly, her mind reeling. "Did he somehow transform into a Naga? But that should be impossible!"

She struggled to make sense of it. "What kind of monster is my new master? He's completely beyond anything I could have imagined." The realization hit her hard: if Aengus could do this with a Naga, what else was he capable of? Could he transform into other powerful creatures, like the Darkness Demonic Dragon—a being of calamitous power? The possibilities were terrifying.

But then, a thought crossed her mind. "Wait, does this mean we've unknowingly hit a fortune? This could explain the respect and reverence his subordinates have for him." Her fear began to give way to a strange hope. Could following Aengus be the key to escaping the tyranny of the Naga King? Could this be their chance to finally leave the dark forest that had been their prison for so long?

In his new Naga form, Aengus felt the immense power coursing through his veins. His senses were heightened, and the world around him seemed to shrink as he gazed down at his subordinates, who now appeared tiny in comparison.

He quickly accessed his stats to see the full extent of the changes and new abilities this transformation had granted him.
