Lia relentlessly assaulted the S-rank demon, predicting its evasive maneuvers and slamming into it with precision, shattering bones and organs while her spirit magic repelled the backlash. As the demon struggled to counter, she unleashed a barrage of purifying light rays from the sky, obliterating the surrounding forest, hills, and waters in a cataclysmic rampage fueled by her pent-up frustrations. Retrieving her sword, Lia invoked the divine spirit Kawaki, channeling the Law of Judgment to summon a colossal thunderbolt that struck the half-dead demon with heavenly punishment.

Only three kinds of spirit beasts from the spirit realm can be summoned.

The initial and most prevalent among them are the evil spirits.

It's well-known that the spirit realm brims over with miasma, where the majority of areas suffer from deep pollution by corruption and miasmic decay.

Every living thing, whether monster or spirit, dwelling in that realm stands as a corrupted entity, forming the bulk of the spirit realm's inhabitants.

Numerous evil spirits and monsters faced by Team Astra within the Spire of Ascension came from this very group.

The chief cause for viewing a 'Summoner' type awakener as a huge risk in this world stems from the chance of calling forth an evil entity that brings chaos not just to you but to everyone around.

Frequently, skilled summoners draw forth mighty monsters that slip from their grasp and decline to form contracts.

This explains why summoners here must perform their summoning rituals under tight watch nearly always.

Ellie, called by Liam, hailed from this same group as well, yet she proved mentally sound and non-violent; had another shadow dragon appeared instead, Liam might well have perished that very day.

The next variety of spirits resides in isolated tiny zones of the spirit realm untouched by corruption, viewed as ordinary spirits free from any ties to malevolent natural powers.

Such spirits have largely dwelled in these detached spirit realm areas from times long past, managing to endure without ever touching miasma.

Alternatively, King Allen and the legendary healer Astra saved them, relocating them to cleansed sections of the spirit realm that Astra herself purified for their survival.

Around the globe, the majority of summoners invoke these spirits, forge pacts with them, and deploy them in combat.

Liam's wyvern along with his other summons fit into this class.

Beyond these pair of groups lies a third one, made up of spirits utterly contrasting the evil ones from the spirit realm.

These spirits wield potent purification spells and rank as exceedingly scarce and formidable.

The bulk of them dwell in the demi-god level, seen as the innate foes of evil spirits and demons alike.

Such spirits go by the name of divine spirits!

Divine Spirit General Kawaki qualifies as a mighty spirit demi-god in this group, and being a demi-god, he naturally possesses his unique 'World Authority.'

Having existed for millennia, achieving feeble mastery over one's world authority proves impossible.

Even a brainless swine could grow potent enough to demolish worlds after enduring so long amid vast strength and endless chances, much less an intelligent and sly divine spirit such as Kai.

Though Kai can't fully exhibit or employ his 'World Authority' due to Lia's frailty as a vessel, he can still exert a minor sway over the 'Law' of the 'World' linked tightly to his 'World Authority.'

That 'Law' stands as the 'Law' of 'Cosmic Order and Judgement'; it governs the upkeep of cosmic balance and delivers severe retribution upon wicked beings via heavenly tribulation!

This matches the very 'law' that once appeared in King Alex's blade, aiding his battles against mighty foes to the last as the 'Sword of Cosmic Order, Raksha.'

Entities like Kai boast tremendous might, yet they form the tiniest fraction among this world's spirit populace.

Evil spirits dominate in numbers, trailed by normal spirits, with divine spirits coming last.

Since evil spirits hold sway over almost the whole spirit realm, summoners often risk drawing forth wild, senseless evil creatures.

The odds of pulling a normal spirit hover under one percent, to say nothing of a divine one.

Hence, pursuing the summoner path in this realm carries extreme danger; one can't predict the sort of entity they might suddenly loose on the world.

Liam hadn't even awakened yet when he called a top-tier S-rank shadow dragon!

Such a top S-rank dragon could clash with scores of typical S-rankers alone, given dragons' inherent superiority in power over regular beings, plus greater smarts and elemental ties than nearly all worldly creatures!

While no cases exist of someone summoning an SS-rank evil spirit in their early stages, the chance of it happening isn't nonexistent.

Just a standout summoner like Liam, who'd already brought forth a strong allied beast on his debut attempt, escaped the usual monitoring.

Primarily since, should he call something hazardous, Ellie allowed him to handle it solo.

The key factor enabling Lia to summon Kawaki, that formidable divine spirit, lay in his bond to her lineage through a mighty pact.

For ages, he had awaited a fresh inheritor of the silver bloodline gifted enough to seal a firm contract with him.

Though Kai sowed dread among the dragon kin and acted oddly himself, to his summoner, he served as the ideal ally and priceless boon.

With Kai as her strength, Lia didn't just gain an SS-ranker under her command; it highlighted her staggering prospects ahead.

Down the line, when Lia hits SS rank, she'll merge two SS-rankers into herself, wielding dual world authorities simultaneously!

She'll command her personal world authority, plus tap into Kai's indirectly for her benefit.

Opposing her would feel eternally like battling a duo of SS-rankers together!
