BXBX NOVEL Chapter 1222 Simurgh I
The ashes that have absorbed the essence of the fruit from the Tree of Life and Death suddenly gathered like a pool of mud. This pool of mud suddenly started to create a swirling mass that became greater in volume. All of the people in the temple could visibly see that the swirling pool swelled to ten times its original size.
The swirling pool of mass then emitted intense energy that has traces of divinity inside of it. When the swirling pool stabilized, something reminiscent of a head suddenly emerged from it. The head looked like that of an avian creature as it has a beak, but it also has features of a wolf skull.
A loud cry that is a mix of a bird of prey, a wolf and a woman echoed in the temple, but it is actually heard in all parts of the world with varying degrees of loudness. The full body of a being emerged from the swirling pool and its size could easily reach the height of the thirty-meter statues of the Sun God Ra.
A mighty bird creature that has emerged from the swirling pool and spread its majesty to those that behold her. A gigantic avian with feather that are white and shades of copper. A majestic crown on the top of her head that extends when her wings are spread out.
The most notable feature of this majestic bird is the fact that it has a tail that is just like a peacock. Beautiful rainbow-colored feathers that somehow absorb the light from the surroundings. It uses the light to make a sort of veil around it to make it more divine.
[Another Divine Beast has descended to the world once more.]
Adrian looked at Saena with tearful eyes as she did not die. He really thought that he lost one of his most important friends in the game, but she survived. He is thankful for everything that led to this moment, but he noticed that something is not right with her.
[Saena has been revived.]
[Your connection with your soulbound has been restored to the smallest degree.]
[Saena is currently berserk due to her sudden revival. If you do not calm her down and establish authority, then there is a large chance that she will be severed from your soul link once more.]

Adrian could not believe that he suddenly had to suffer when he just evolved Saena into a divine beast. She is definitely not in her right mind as she kept releasing burst of sunlight that seared the area around her. She even roared at Adrian who is her master which means that she cannot differentiate friend from foe at this very moment.
"Sirius, restrain her!" Adrian stated as he summoned Sirius.
Sirius immediately popped out of the magic circle and used numerous shadows to try and restrain Saena. The only problem with that is Saena suddenly exploding with a burst of light that destroyed the shadows. Sirius tried once more but she easily erased the shadows with a burst of light.
"Kanlaon, help Sirius!" Adrian stated as Kanlaon came out of his magic circle.
Kanlaon knew that restraining Saena will not be an easy feat which is why he used all of his dragon balls to the test. The fire dragon ball along with the light dragon ball sapped the heat and light that Saena is releasing in an attempt to weaken her. The frost dragon ball created a freezing zone around Saena to make sure that her temperature drops.
Kanlaon wanted to use the freezing zone to make Saena calm down or lose consciousness, but she is emitting a powerful heat that melts any ice that touches her feathers. Even the fire dragon ball and light dragon ball cannot absorb the sun energy that Saena is internally releasing to keep herself active. Since the other dragon balls are not able to completely restrain her, Kanlaon used the earth dragon ball to make the floor into sand.
The sand beneath Saena\'s feet sank as her weight also increased when she became larger. She tried to flap her wings, but Kanlaon used the wind dragon ball to create a small tornado that pushed Saena down to the sands. Seeing that it is working, Kanlaon used the darkness dragon ball to increase the power of the shadows that Sirius used.
The rampaging Saena could be seen getting restrained, but she is still fighting against them. She is putting great effort into escaping despite the numerous restraints. Some might say that Saena is not that strong, but restraining is vastly different than killing as there is a certain finesse needed in the former.
"Greater Seal: Saena!" Adrian shouted as a new magic circle started to draw itself in the air.
The previous magic circle that appears when Saena is summoned had the image of a white bird on it but this one is different. A giant bird that has white and bronze feathers with the colorful tail of a peacock is seen manifesting. The magic circle did not immediately materialize completely as the image of the Simurgh could be seen slowly being drawn.
Adrian also felt his mana being drained when this interaction happened as his Soul Link started to pulsate. The Soul Link that connected his soul with Saena\'s started to slowly become thicker as the connection is being reforged. This put a great strain on both parties as Adrian and Saena lost a bit of health per second with this interaction.
Saena became even more erratic in nature as a divine beast is not supposed to be easily tamed. Her pure instinct tried to neglect the soul link that she and Adrian already established. Adrian cannot do any other spell while the Greater Seal is in effect which means that it is up to his other companions to help him.
Saena suddenly unfurled her tail and it started to collect the energy of the sun in the surroundings. With each ten second interval that she charged her energy, a feather on the tail illuminated and stored that powerful energy. Cairo felt the vast amounts of energy that Saena gathered and feared something devastating will be released should she fire that.
"Guardian of the Sun God!" Cairo shouted.
A golden golem suddenly came out of a magic circle that Cairo summoned. The golem is made of golden metal that has the same appearance of a sphinx. Cairo then used the staff that he is holding to tap the forehead of the sphinx. The energy of the sun in the surroundings also started to gather around the golden sphinx which delayed the gathering of Saena\'s sun energy.
The enraged Saena instinctively knew that she will be sealed back before she finished gathering enough energy. With a loud cry, Saena\'s peacock tail suddenly released the gathered energy into a powerful beam. The beam of light eviscerated all the magic holding her down and is about to hit Adrian.
Adrian did not stop his Greater Seal spell as that is the win condition in this fight. He would rather accept the damage now and pray that he survives the attack. When the beam of light is about to reach Adrian, a powerful cat beast suddenly appeared in front of him and erected a barrier. The cat beast is none other than Estet that transformed with the help of her goddess.
Sadiki did not stay still as well because he gathered the sands that Kanlaon used to create smaller barriers that absorbed the initial impact of the beam of light. The sand barriers mitigated the damage and Estet blocked the beam that is about to hit Adrian.
Adrian thanked all of them for their support because the magic circle is almost finished. A little bit more and the chains of the seal will appear to drag Saena back to the Soul Chamber. When the dust settled, Saena\'s figure could be seen charging towards Adrian in an attempt to disrupt him, but Kanlaon suddenly coiled up around her like a snake.
Saena crashed to the ground as she was tripped by Sirius. Adrian knew that this is his optimal chance to finished and he did. The magic circle that is needed to seal Saena away is completed at the very last second.
