Reincarnated With Three Unique Skills

The Phoenix Empress squinted her sharp eyes, her fiery aura flickering in response as she sensed the young man's presence suddenly intensify. It was undeniable—this so-called Ruination Emperor was not a mere title.

"So strong!"

The female elders exchanged grave looks, their expressions growing increasingly solemn. They hadn't expected this level of power radiating from Aengus. For the first time, the Empress's court recognized the weight of the threat he posed.

Helios, on the other hand, was utterly horrified. It felt as though he had been plunged into an ice cave, his usually blazing dragon blood subdued by the oppressive presence of Aengus' Fiend-Celestial Aura.

When Aengus' glowing eyes landed on him, despite his desperate efforts to shrink into the shadows, his heart raced uncontrollably. He had faced countless enemies on the battlefield, but nothing had prepared him for this overwhelming, primal fear that crept into his soul, seeping into every corner of his being.

"Come here!"

Aengus, with a domineering gesture, dragged Helios through the air using invisible chains.

Helios, unable to defend himself, was quickly pinned under Aengus' right leg, as unyielding as a mountain pressing down on him.

Helios' breath grew haggard, and the sound of his joints cracking echoed in the hall under the sheer force of Aengus' single leg.

All the pride and arrogance that once defined the mighty Fire Dragon King were reduced to a pathetic spectacle—a complete laughingstock.

"We are here to take my Empress' mother home. If anyone has any objection to this, I dare you to try and stop us," Aengus declared, his unwavering gaze fixed on the Phoenix Empress, his supposedly formidable grandmother-in-law.

"Take me back?" Celeste repeated the words as if caught in a dream.

For years, she had longed to hear those words from her husband but never expected them to come from her daughter's husband instead.

Bella tilted her head and smiled. "Yes, Mother. We're here to take you with us. Don't you want to come and live with us? Don't you want to hold your Grandchild in you hands?"

"I can leave this place? Really?" Celeste muttered, trembling as she held back tears.

For so long, she had yearned for freedom. Her adventurous heart had always been stifled in this cold, unyielding prison she called home. Now, her deepest desire seemed closer than ever.

However..

"Rumble!"

The Phoenix Empress clenched her fists, and the entire palace quaked as though struck by an earthquake.

Her small eyes burned with an intense fire, and her whole being trembled with rage. She had been holding back for far too long.

"HOW DARE YOU!"

The Phoenix Empress stood, her fiery feathers flaring out, her shout echoing like thunder. The female elders rose alongside her, quickly forming a defensive formation, ready to act at her command.

Celeste's weak frame trembled under the sheer force of her mother's outrage, her face pale with fear.

"Mother, it will be alright. We are here with you," Bella said gently.

Crouching beside her mother, Bella gently placed a hand on her trembling shoulder to comfort her. "Just tell me—do you want to come back with us?"

Celeste looked at her daughter and Aengus, who exuded unwavering confidence even in the face of her mother's outrage.

"Y-Yes, daughter. Please take me away from here. I want to live freely with you all. I want to hold my grandchild," she affirmed, her tear-streaked face trembling with emotion.

"That's what we needed to hear, Mother. Father will be happy to see you," Bella stated.

"Belial? I don't want to see him," Celeste said, shaking her head vehemently, her tone filled with resentment.

Bella could do nothing about that for now.

She signaled to Aengus, her expression resolute.

"Hubby, send us away."

Aengus nodded and attempted to open a portal, but the space around them rippled, and the portal faltered, unable to stabilize.

Frowning, Aengus turned his displeased gaze to the Phoenix Empress.

"Do you really want to do this, 'Grandmother-in-law'?" he asked, his tone dangerously calm, his narrowed eyes glinting with warning.

The Phoenix Empress scoffed, her fiery wings spreading wide as she took a step forward. The scalding heat emanating from her presence seemed to warp the air itself.

"What are you going to do about it, kid?" she taunted, her voice filled with contempt.

Her every step burned the spatial fabric around them, the tension in the room escalating with each second.

"You're still so narrow-minded, Grandmother-in-law. Perhaps I need to teach you the hard way," Aengus said, his voice carrying an edge that sent a chill through the room. "Watch closely. This will be the fate of anyone who dares to challenge me!"

Under everyone's apprehensive gaze, Aengus extended his palm toward Helios, who had already succumbed to despair. A small void began to form above the Fire Dragon King's horrified eyes, swirling ominously.

"No! Don't kill me!" Helios screamed, his voice cracking in terror. Ahh... You will die a horrible death. The Dragon Emperor will not spare you!"

With those accursed words, the void consumed Helios completely, erasing him from existence in an instant.

The room fell into a stunned silence, every breath stolen by the sight of the Fire Dragon King's abrupt and merciless demise.

Even the Phoenix Empress faltered momentarily, her fiery aura flickering as she processed what had just happened.

The sheer finality of Helios' erasure made everyone freeze in their tracks, their confidence shaken to its core.

"Haha, kid, do you even realize what you've done?" the Phoenix Empress suddenly laughed, her tone dripping with mockery, as if reveling in Aengus' supposed stupidity.

Aengus, savoring the exhilaration of his strength, grinned back confidently.

"Oh, of course. I've made myself an enemy of the Dragon Emperor. Oh no, I'm so scared! What will happen to me? I'm going to die, right?" he said theatrically, feigning despair with exaggerated expressions before pausing abruptly.

His grin widened, his voice brimming with mockery as he added, "You think I'd actually be scared of that?"

The Phoenix Empress' face flushed with rage, her composure shattered by his taunt.

"You're dead, arrogant brat!" she roared, her fiery wings blazing brighter than ever.

Without hesitation, she charged at him, followed closely by the female elders, their combined power surging forward like a devastating storm aimed directly at Aengus.
