Chapter 1223 Simurgh II
"Greater Seal: Saena!" Adrian shouted once more as the magic summoning circle has finally been completed.
The magic summoning circle created chains out of nowhere and immediately slithered towards Saena. Saena saw the chains and her instincts knew that she will be sealed once more but she fought against it as she is still driven mad. With one last powerful burst of energy, Saena managed to shake Kanlaon off her and the shadows that Sirius used got dispelled once more.
Saena might have shaken off Sirius and Kanlaon, but the chains have already grabbed her. The chains did not physically grab her, but it bound her soul. The chains could be seen entering her body as her soul is bound once more and dragged her towards the magic summoning circle.
Saena tried to fight off the force pulling her, but it is already inevitable because she has already been marked. This would not have been easy if she did not have a lower soul strength compared to Adrian. Saena might have been a Divine Beast now, but she is still a fledgling compared to a Daemos who has obtained divinity.
Since Saena could not fly away despite her great wings, she put strength into her talons and dug deep into the floor but to no avail. The soul chains dragged her as if she is a toddler refusing to go with their mother because they are throwing a tantrum. Seeing that Saena could not fight off the pulling force, all of the bystanders no longer interfered and rested as guarding against a Divine Beast is not an easy feat.
[Your soul link with Saena is slowly being restored.]
A notification informed Adrian that Saena is now close to being back to his control. Adrian could see that Saena is still thrashing about and trying to resist which made him feel a bit sad. He suddenly pondered if what he is doing could be considered selfish, but Saena is not her usual self.
"Saena, do you wish to be free?" Adrian asked wholeheartedly which made the rampaging stop and look at Adrian.
The eyes clouded by rage and power suddenly started to clear up a little. Saena no longer thrashed about and suddenly heard the voice of someone she cherishes the most. A small tear could be seen dropping from one of Saena\'s eyes as she does not want to be set free because she already considered Adrian and the others as family.
Saena suddenly calmed down and looked as if she had recovered from her confusion. She no longer dug her talons on the ground and let herself freely be taken away by the chains. Seeing that Saena no longer resisted, the chains no longer pulled hard instead turned into gentle warm light that caressed Saena towards the magic summoning circle.
Seeing Saena regain her clarity put Adrian\'s heart at ease as he knows that he is not forcing her. The magic summoning circle shined bright before vanishing as Saena went back to her home. A warm feeling could be felt from Adrian\'s heart as if he suddenly felt whole again.

Adrian almost fainted when he saw all the skill descriptions that Saena has. A divine beast is definitely a different breed compared to other monsters. She might not be a damage dealer like Sirius or Kanlaon, but she can definitely handle enemies. What Adrian could not believe is the fact that her healing skills and cleansing skills are all area of effect.
The skill that made Adrian hyperventilate is the Simurgh\'s Bond skill because it makes Saena turn into a powerful monster in her own right. She will basically become a raid boss when in the presence of the tree of life and death. Although the skill might be restricted since the tree of life and death is planted in Avalon, there are ways to make that happen.
Adrian envisions Levin Cloud summoning the tree of life and death in the guild war and Saena being there. She would absolutely decimate the enemies as she will activate that skill. Saena would also be a great protector as all her skills will also be boosted to a disgusting degree.
"Why do I not have a skill that can summon Yewdrassil!?" Adrian lamented as he cannot activate Saena\'s skill by himself.
"Congratulations, Champion Equinox!" The Priestess Estet stated.
"I would like to congratulate Champion Equinox as well!" Sadiki stated.
"I never doubted you! As expected of my idol!" Cairo stated.
"Thanks to you guys. I would have never succeeded if all of you did not aid me. Please accept this as my sincere gift for helping me." Adrian stated as he gave all the carapaces and horns that he has left for Sadiki and Estet.
For Adrian, the monster parts might have been precious, but Saena\'s life is even more important to him. The fact that they helped him so much as he could see that they are gravely injured. When Saena was not properly connected to Adrian, she was actually level 350 and only returned to Adrian\'s level when she got sealed.
