Chapter 95: Chapter 95: Sienna Alsker

The snake girl possessed a striking, serpentine beauty. Her skin was a mesmerizing shade of blue, adorned with intricate streaks of black that rippled like the scales of a snake. Her eyes, deep and penetrating, were a shade of gold with diagonal slits, glowing with an otherworldly intensity.

She wore a stunning purple dress made from beast skin, which clung to her curves, accentuating her unique beauty.

[ Appraisal ]

[ Name: Sienna Alsker ]

[ Species: Viperscale Medusa ]

[ Rank: Lesser Demon ]

[ Affiliation: Naga Tribe of Dark Forest ]

[Abilities:

1. Poisonous Miasma Control

2. Petrifying Gaze.

3. Naganian Transformation.

Aengus watched her details with interest.

"So, there's a whole hidden tribe of Snake demons in the Dark forest." he grinned.

"And why should I do that, Sienna Alsker?" Aengus asked, his profound gaze fixed on the desperate for a particular badly burned Naga.

Sienna looked up at the half-breed demon, fear gripping her heart. Silent apprehension filled her as she realized her Petrifying Gaze had no effect on his overwhelming physical and demonic power. She also noticed the strange demons following him with respect and reverence.

"Oh? And what if you betray me?" he asked, his tone cold and calculating. "Why should I believe you?"

Seeing a glimmer of interest in Aengus's eyes, Sienna exhaled a breath of relief. She knew this might be their only chance.

"Lord, we can offer our Naga Pearls to you. With them, you can control our lives and deaths, as they are spiritually connected to us," she quickly offered, hoping it would be enough to sway him.

Without hesitation, Sienna magically produced a glowing green pearl from her body and handed it to Aengus.

Aengus examined the pearl with interest.

[Appraisal:]

[Medusa's Pearl]

[Description: A spiritual object connected to the Naga/Medusa species, primarily used for communication over long distances. It can also increase a human's soul strength.]

Aengus's eyes widened in shock as he read the description. His gaze sharpened, suspicion growing. "Wait, did you use this pearl to call for help?" he asked, his voice hardening as he eyed Sienna and her father with growing mistrust.

Sienna's face paled as she quickly replied, "No... I didn't. Our tribe is too far from here. It only works within a certain distance. But I can't promise anything about the others; their pearls are stronger and have a wider range of communication." She glanced nervously at the dead bodies around them, hoping to assuage his concerns.

Aengus wasn't satisfied. "Ask your father if he used his pearl," he demanded, gripping Sienna's pearl as if ready to crush it at any moment.

Sienna turned to her father, who winced in pain. "Argh... No, I didn't. But I did try. It was likely only received by my daughter since she was the closest," her father admitted, his voice strained as Sienna hurriedly tended to his wounds with some strange herbs.

"Yes, it's true," Sienna confirmed, her voice steady as she added, "We should leave this place, my lord." She hoped this would earn her some trust from Aengus.

Aengus hummed in thought before nodding. "Okay. Give me your spiritual pearl first," he commanded, his gaze shifting to Sienna's father, Sanka.

Seeing no other choice, and urged by Sienna's pleading eyes, Sanka reluctantly handed over his pearl. He sighed heavily, realizing that their fate now rested entirely in the hands of this powerful stranger.
