NOVEL NEXT Chapter 147: The Strongest Brave, Faith Becomes God
Innate Divine Strength, fierce in battle, and when fighting as a team, she would sometimes enter berserk mode for a short time to coordinate with her teammates.
In berserk mode, Illya's combat power would soar, even surpassing that of a hero for a brief period.
She was a born warrior. After her death, the Heroic Spirit Hall valued her, so her becoming a heroic spirit was only natural.
Natural... but also not natural.
Amelia wasn't a Spirit Summoner; she couldn't summon Illya.
He was, though, and had summoned Heroic Spirits multiple times, yet Illya never once responded to his summons.
The most eager to answer his summons was the Fantasy Heroic Spirit, Flame Queen Helen, with her cool entrance and catchphrase, "Lance, save me."
Given that Illya was a Heroic Spirit, why hadn't he ever summoned her even once?
I understand now.
She looked down on him as a Spirit Summoner.
With Illya's combat strength, she had the right to choose her Spirit Summoner.
Besides that, there's another possibility: Illya might have become the Guardian Heroic Spirit of a certain Spirit Summoner.
She could also become a Contract Spirit.
If she had become a certain Spirit Summoner's Contract Spirit, then indeed she wouldn't respond well to other summoners' calls.
This possibility could also be related to the identity he used when summoning Heroic Spirits.
To become a Spirit Summoner, you need to meet certain preconditions. If you don't meet the standards, you can't become a Spirit Summoner.
The identity he used for his first Heroic Spirit summon was that of a kingdom general, known for his loyalty and valor, guarding the frontier.
He had made great contributions to protect the Human World, and his deeds were legendary.
This made him successful in becoming a Spirit Summoner, earning him the qualifications to summon Heroic Spirits.
[The Nonexistent Potion Master]... This identity might also be able to summon Heroic Spirits. Next time I could try using this identity to summon one.
When using the identity of a Human Spirit Summoner to summon Heroic Spirits, you can only summon Heroic Spirits who are also of the Human Race.
There's a small chance of summoning Heroic Spirits from other races, but those from other races won't become Contract Spirits for Human Spirit Summoners.
At most, they could be Temporary Spirits.
If war breaks out between humans and other races and a Spirit Summoner appears on the battlefield, even if they're both Heroic Spirits, they will fight to the death.
The realm of Heroic Spirits is the destination for all Heroic Spirits, but there's likely several factions among those in the Heroic Spirit Realm.
Illya's combat power is formidable.
Next time, I'll try to summon Illya from the realm of Heroic Spirits.
"Do you still remember Illya?"
"I remember."
"Oh, it's normal for you to remember Illya. When she would charge at people with the ball, you were always able to dodge promptly and then catch her before she fell.
Illya's enviable figure was ruined by that Extraordinary Elixir you gave her... the potion's gone."
Whenever Amelia thought of her former teammate, the image of Illya's unbalanced gait and the times Illya bumped into her would come to mind, that bouncy touch... she was green with envy.
She envied Illya, and Illya envied her.
Later on, Illya some how thought of Lance and asked him to mix a potion... resulting in her good figure being wasted away by the potion...
She once asked Lance privately if he could mix her an Extraordinary Elixir that would speed up her body's development. Lance at the time said... maintain a normal diet, and as long as the nutrition is there, the body will naturally develop quickly.
"So Reg became a deity, and Illya became a Heroic Spirit?"
"Reg's situation is rather special... Have you heard of Domains?"
"Domains... It seems... I have."
He was aware of Domains, but those who could establish their own Domain were few and far between; many Saints and Divinities might never open their own Domains.
For a strong person who has established their own Domain, once the Domain is unfolded in battle, the person within their Domain becomes god-like, commanding wind and rain at will.
The strong ones trapped within a Domain would be in trouble. Whether they could mobilize the original energy of the world was one thing, but even if they could, that energy entering the Domain... might just become the energy of the Domain's master.

That's incredible.
Listening to Amelia's words... it's clear that Reg must have established his own Domain.
Having a Domain means that even if Reg was not a deity, his lifespan would be far longer than those without a Domain, and when it comes to lifespan... not even a Demigod might outlast those with a [Domain].
Incredible. If Reg, who has a Domain, gathered Divinity and ignited Divine Fire, going to the Divine Realm... he'd at least be a lesser Deity, and perhaps even an intermediate Deity.
Once in the Divine Realm, after a few thousand or ten thousand years of diligent cultivation, it wouldn't be impossible for his Divinity to be promoted to a higher status.
I'm jealous.
Is this the formidability of someone with a Golden Destiny?
"Reg has established his own Domain?"
"Yes, he established his own Domain five hundred years ago. Before Illya died, he shared some insights into establishing a Domain and things to pay attention to with her, but in the end... Illya never established a Domain of her own before she died.
The last time I saw him, he shared all his insights into Domain establishment, along with the preconditions and things to note with me, but unfortunately, up to now, I haven't been able to find the 'seed' needed to establish a Domain.
But that's fine. I'm not obsessed with becoming a deity. As an elf, my lifespan is far longer than that of humans, and living for two or three thousand years is no problem."
While talking, Amelia was constantly observing Lance's expression. She thought that hearing about a teammate establishing a [Domain] should have made Lance envious or surprised, right?
Moreover, she told Lance that she had gained insights from Brave Reg about establishing a Domain, along with the conditions and considerations.
Lance, being a Potion Master and Beast Tamer, must also want to establish his own Domain, right?
