The Birth of Medical Angel
Inside the pink egg of the Medical Angel. The evolution of Medical Mushroom began.
Target selected. Species: Medical Mushroom.
The target had been selected. Medical Mushroom was both a name Kang Geon had arbitrarily given it and its actual species name. In other words, the arbitrary name had coincidentally hit the mark. Kang Geon had known this. It was recorded in the explorer's journal left by Art Pega Unicorn's mother.
Astral Code (Fox-777) intervention detected.
Astral Code (Sheep-9585) intervention detected.
Evolution to Guardian God-707 canceled.
The evolution paused momentarily. It was due to the two creatures endlessly pacing around the egg.
Astral Code, Fox-777. The intervention of Melody Fox, who possessed the ability to influence other creatures' evolutions. And Astral Code, Sheep-9585. Merino Ulla's intervention had also occurred.
Merino lacked the ability to intervene in evolutions herself. But through her devoted care of the egg and proximity to Melody Fox's buffs, she had faintly contributed. Of course, Merino was unaware of this.
As a result, Medical Mushroom's evolution path changed. To a special form that only a rare few of its species could reach—a humanoid evolution. And among those, an even rarer variant.
Astral Code (Mushroom-7077) evolution resuming.
Initiating evolution to Guardian God-333.
Inside the egg, Medical Mushroom's form rapidly transformed. Its mushroom-shaped body gradually took on a human silhouette. Sheep horns sprouted from the sides of its head, and a pair of small angel wings grew from its back.
Next, its skin, hair, and eyes—all body parts without exception—were dyed pink. Finally, sticky pink liquid oozed from all over its body, completing the evolution.
With a crackling split, the pink egg shattered. From within, a single humanoid monster slowly emerged.
[Beep. Beep-boop-beep.]
It was Medical Mushroom's evolved form. The evolved form closely resembled a human, with no trace of its original mushroom features. However, the source of its core healing ability—its signature pink jelly—remained, covering its entire body.
Anyway, the newly evolved Medical Mushroom was named 'Medical Angel'. Its mushroom traits had vanished, and as the allies noted, it now bore angelic features.
"Hwaaang."
[Kyuuwaang.]
Merino Ulla and Melody Fox approached Medical Angel cautiously, eyes sparkling.
"Medical Sheep got even cuter, yang!"
[Kyuyang, kwuyang!]
The two were completely enchanted by Medical Angel's new form. Not just them—other monsters flocked instantly to see the evolved sight.
[Duumba! You've grown so big, yot!]
[Medical's taken a form like Father's now.]
[Pii! Let's measure heights!]
[Scan complete. Looks decent enough.]
Hedgehog Summoner God. Dog Spider-001 (evolved to Kinogine Arachne). Jellyfish-002 (evolved to Blood Jellyfish Princess). Iris/Vision.
[Sreung, sreung! Kin!]
"Feels nice to touch. Can I?"
[Do not move. Cataloging appearance and traits.]
[That jelly looks tasty-oong.]
Black Magma Slime-003. Azeras. Art Pega Unicorn. Bastet Daong.
[Zapan! Lemme try that jelly! Just a bit!]
[Another cute one joins us.]
Zapan. Even Niara Nephensis.
[Beep...?]
Overwhelmed by the sudden attention, perhaps, Medical Angel huddled up, eyes wide in panic.
To ease Medical Angel's burden, Kang Geon shooed the monsters away temporarily. Then, he brought a mirror for her to admire her new self.
[Beep?Beep...!]
Medical Angel's expression shifted instantly upon seeing the mirror—a mix of surprise and joy.
"You like it?"
[Beep!]
After slowly admiring herself, Medical Angel headed to the apple farm with Kang Geon to test her new SS-grade abilities.
Medical Angel. Her body had a slime-like structure. Every part was made of pink viscous liquid. And she could freely reshape it at will.
Of course, that didn't make her default human form a fake construct. The shape they first saw was her base form. Thus, Medical Angel could be considered a creature with slime traits. No core, naturally.
For reference, Black Magma Slime-003 could also freely reshape its body, even into humanoid form. But it wasn't called a slime-trait creature. That was just an arbitrary fake shape, not its base.
In short: perfect slime for Black Magma Slime. Slime-trait creature for Medical Angel. That was the distinction.
"Ellis, you explain."
He left the explanation to BokgeulBokgeul. She'd know monsters inside out better than him and explain simply.
"Yeah, thanks."
While Ellis kindly explained to the allies, Kang Geon arrived at the apple farm and finished checking Medical Angel's abilities.
First, her healing was intact. Condensing the pink liquid boosted it further.
And as hoped, she could resurrect the dead. Proven by successfully reviving a freshly killed Poison Apple on the farm.
Niara Nephensis confirmed: the original soul had returned to the body.
Kang Geon nodded. He was just about to send Medical Angel to Earth. No time to waste. Even if the Earth's guardian's soul lingered, long-dead bodies might have revival limits.
"Sage has the guardian's corpse, right?"
"Then dispatching Medical to you, Sage."
He immediately used the designated dispatch ticket. While awaiting confirmation of safe arrival, he belatedly checked Art Pega Unicorn's drawing of Medical Angel.
