Chapter 1219 She Burned To Ashes

[Your soulbound Saena is consuming too much energy from the sun that her body can handle.]

[Your Aether Energy gauge has dropped to zero.]

[You no longer have Primordial Essence.]

Adrian can no longer support Saena as he no longer has the necessary means to. He shouted at Saena to stop as he feels that her life force started to dim out with her actions. The more sun energy that she consumes, then the more her life force becomes depleted.

"Saena! Stop!" Adrian shouted but he was not heard by his soulbound, or she did not want to hear him.

Saena can no longer stop herself or want to stop herself because she knew that it only took a little more to complete her goal. She could feel it in her stomach as the energy of the sun that she collected can be seen affecting her as she starts to radiate it as well.

"Help me stop her!" Adrian shouted in panic as he started to fear that Saena will die forever.

One thing that summoners know is the fact that their soulbounds can permanently die if the soul link is either severed or it gets depleted. If a summoner's soulbound's soul link is severed and their soulbound dies, the soulbound will permanently die. If the soul link is depleted, then that means their soulbound's life expectancy is finished.

The game has been out for about three years if the beta test is added. The average life of normal monsters can span to five to ten years which is why some soulbounds have already died in the game. Summoners that did not train or evolve their soulbounds experienced the death of their bonded monster.

It is not easy but that is the truth which is another sad truth about the summoner job class. If you do not make your soulbounds powerful, then they will die within their life expectancy. This is one of the reasons why summoners can seal numerous monsters without limit but that comes with a price. There are also rare cases where the soulbound monster dies when the soul link is severed.

Rare cases include the soulbound monster to break the soul link because they are not treated correctly or with the bare minimum. The soulbounds that are then released will die in the wild because they are now considered as monsters. Adrian could feel that Saena is dying because their soul link is becoming thinner.

Adrian's shout in panic made the other's move but they cannot handle the heat of the miniature sun. Even with their golden armors out and Vitae healing them, they cannot get close to Saena to stop her. The miniature sun is close to becoming a black hole as its energy started to become critical.

A miniature sun is still a star despite being small and a black hole is created when a star explodes. Adrian tried to fly towards Saena and stop her but even he cannot get close due to the heat. Saena could be seen starting to be engulfed in flames, but she did not stop.

Cairo also tried to get close as well but even he got burned despite being the Champion of the Sun God. Cairo's burn is not to the same extent as the others, but he still got burnt when he got extremely close. If the Champion of the Sun God himself is burned, then what can the others who do not have great heat resistance have.

[You cannot summon Kanlaon because of the strain on the soul link.]

[You cannot summon any soulbound at the moment because one of your soul links is weakened.]

Due to the holy area that hey are in, Adrian's soulbound was forced back into the Soul Chamber. This is the reason why he needed to summon Saena earlier when it was her time to evolve. It also takes a toll on the soul link when soulbounds evolve which is why Adrian did not summon the others to make sure that Saena succeeds.

Adrian can only look in horror as Saena is burning in flames, but she is still absorbing the energy if the miniature sun. She is the only thing that is making sure that the miniature sun does not explode despite its energy becoming critical. She is the only thing that is holding the miniature sun back from hurting them.

"Greater Seal: Saena!" Adrian shouted but nothing is happening.

Saena's magic circle is not appearing or rather she is not accepting the command. Adrian is stunned because he knows that Saena will truly die at this rate. Adrian does not want Saena to die because she has stuck with him in his rookie days and even until now. Despite her being something that is made of code, he has grown attach to it like an actual pet.

"Aetheros Domain."

"Aetheros True Form."

Adrian knew that he cannot take any chances and transformed to his true form. He knew that this is the only thing that can potentially save Saena. Not something that can save her a hundred percent, but it will give her the chance to survive. The defenses of the Hidden Temple of the Sun God activated because it felt strong foreign energy that did not or should not belong to the temple.

Numerous floating pyramids suddenly scattered in the air in an attempt to purge the source of his foreign energy. Cairo immediately commanded the security sentries to stop what the are going to do as he knew that Adrian will be attacked. Adrian did not care about the security sentries as his only concern is to pump as much aether energy towards Saena as much as he could.

Aether energy filled up the temple as Adrian made sure that Saena is healed with everything that she has got. He even asked helped from Vitae, but her spell gets burned by the intensity of the miniature sun. In the end, the only one that Saena can get help from is Adrian himself.

"Almost! You can do this, Saena!" Adrian shouted as he could feel that the miniature sun is starting to fetter.

The miniature sun is becoming less powerful as Saena is now on the verge of absorbing everything from it. Saena pushed herself to extreme to the point that her soul link with Adrian became as thin as a thread, but she did not die. Adrian almost cried with relief as Saena did not die as he turned back into his normal form.

Saena's body looked like she is filled with the energy of the sun as she is glowing with sunlight. The security sentries also backed down when Adrian reverted back. Adrian came close to Saena as he wanted to congratulate her for living even though she did not evolve.

"It is fine if you did not evolve. The good thing is that you are still alive." Adrian stated as he came close to Saena to pet her.

Saena then looked at Adrian with a knowing gaze, but she suddenly emitted strong energy of the sun that rivaled the miniature sun earlier. Saena told Adrian to not come near her as she is now unstable and could potentially kill him. Adrian did not care as he once again tried to seal Saena back to the Soul Chamber to undo everything.

Saena did not accept the command and flew up in the sky as she started to shine like a sun. Saena emitted a powerful cry that echoed in the temple. When Saena did so, her body started to be overtaken by powerful sun energy to the point that one can visibly see her being consumed by it. She is being eaten by the energy of the sun from the inside out.

Adrian shouted for Saena to stop as she is attempting to digest and absorb the intense energy of the sun that she ate. Saena's small body could be seen burning in intense heat as she started to become ashes. Adrian looked in horror and shock from what is happening to his soulbound as he knows that Saena is dying.

Adrian could feel that his soul link with Saena is starting to sever to the point that he is getting hurt as well. Saena looked at Adrian one last time as she suddenly severed her soul link with Adrian. With Saena effectively severing her connection with Adrian, he can no longer feel the intense pain that she is experiencing.

'',

Adrian looked in horror as he could feel the thin thread that is his soul link be cut. He felt as if a part of him is lost when that happened. The pain that he felt from the soul link was the only visible thing that told him that Saena is fine. When the soul link is destroyed, Adrian felt the emptiness as if he lost a limb.

[Your soulbound, Saena, has cut off your soul link with her.]

[You will not receive the backlash of the broken soul link as it was already weak.]

[Saena has died.]
