Chapter 152
An uninhabited island owned by Hwang Mir.
On that small island stood a villa all alone.
Sage Lunaris kept the corpse of a guardian inside this villa.
And she was waiting here, concerned about the monsters that would be dispatched, their sizes growing larger.
As time passed.
Kang Geon evolved the Medical Mushroom into a Medical Angel.
After confirming that it had the ability for resurrection.
Without delay, he immediately dispatched the Medical Angel to Sage Lunaris.
“Uh? Is it here?”
In front of Sage Lunaris, a thin air.
Pink liquid began to round and gather.
The liquid gradually increased in size.
Eventually, it started to take on a human form.
“Fortunately, it seems the size is the same as when it was in the Ancient Labyrinth.”
By the way, the method of dispatch varied each time.
Sometimes it would tear through dimensions to appear.
Other times, it would naturally reveal itself.
There were various ways, but this time was one of natural appearance.
Beeeep!
The Medical Angel had completely taken shape.
And upon spotting Sage in front of it, it waved its hand with delight.
Beeep, beeeep!
The Medical Angel instantly recognized Sage as Kang Geon’s assistant.
Having seen the Assistant Index before.
And also feeling a familiar vibe from her.
It felt like they were connected by threads of fate.
Sage quickly sent a chat.
It was a message stating that the Medical Angel had arrived safely without any changes in size.
Afterward.
She cautiously approached the Medical Angel and greeted it.
“Nice to meet you, I’m Sage Lunaris. This is my first time seeing you in person.”
Beeep!
The Medical Angel responded cheerfully.
“We don’t have time, so let’s get to the point. Do you know why you were dispatched here today?”
Beeep!
The Medical Angel nodded.
It already knew the reason for its dispatch.
Before its evolution.
It had roughly heard from Kang Geon about the situation on Earth and the need to resurrect the guardian.
“I’m glad you know. Then let’s go resurrect the guardian right away.”
Beeep! Beep beep!
Sage led the Medical Angel to the villa.
The Medical Angel gently held onto Sage’s garment, following her pace.
In the calm silence.
Sage and the Medical Angel entered the interior of the villa.
Then, a large coffin placed in the center of the living room greeted them.
“The guardian’s corpse is stored inside there.”
Beeep.
Sage stopped in front of the coffin.
Her cautious hand touched the lid of the coffin.
Eventually.
Creaaaaak—
With a heavy sound, the lid slowly slid open.
Inside the coffin lay a creature resembling a human, the peaceful corpse of the guardian.
“How is it? Can you resurrect this one as well?”
Beep beep.
The Medical Angel blinked its eyes.
And slowly circled around the coffin, observing the guardian’s corpse with careful eyes.
Seeing that, Sage Lunaris fell into a moment of thought.
Just how far could the Medical Angel’s resurrection ability reach?
Cases where the deceased had just died.
Cases where the deceased had died long ago, but the soul still lingered.
Cases where the soul had left the body.
Cases where the soul had left the body and had already been reincarnated.
The first case had already been confirmed.
Before being dispatched, it had showcased a miracle by resurrecting the Poison Apple.
‘To be honest, there’s no way it could work for the third and fourth cases, and I’m not even hoping for that… Please let it just reach the second case…’
While Sage earnestly hoped.
The Medical Angel suddenly stood up, fluttering its small wings.
Beeep, beep beep!
In that moment.
The condensed pink liquid burst forth from the Medical Angel’s mouth like vomit.
In an instant, the liquid enveloped the guardian’s body.

The assistants on Earth.
Seo Dan-bi, Shin So-mang, Ha Yumi, Hwang Mir.
The four women crossed the sea on a yacht and arrived at the island where Sage was staying.
The yacht was, of course, owned by Hwang Mir.
“Wow. I thought it would be the size of Dokdo since it’s a small island, but it’s much bigger than I expected.”
Ha Yumi, who first set foot on land, exclaimed.
Shin So-mang followed, disembarking from the yacht and admiring the island’s scenery.
On the other hand.
Seo Dan-bi acted as if she was familiar with the place.
She roughly scanned the island’s views and moved toward the villa with Hwang Mir, urging the lagging two.
“What are you doing? Let’s explore later and hurry up!”
“Ah, yes!”
“Okay!”
Ha Yumi and Shin So-mang quickly followed behind Seo Dan-bi.
Curious, Ha Yumi asked Seo Dan-bi.
“Seems like Pururu has been here a few times?”
“I came twice with Mir a while back.”
“Just the two of you?”
“Yeah, we usually play just the two of us. Plus, Mir extremely hates getting hit on by guys, so we purposely come to places like this without people.”
“Anyway, if you’re with Pururu, you won’t ever get hit on anywhere!”
Suddenly, Shin So-mang chimed in.
Seo Dan-bi deliberately ignored her words.
Although she had often been approached by guys who boldly hit on her simply because she was a woman, she didn’t want to boast about such things.
Cafes, libraries, restaurants, even funeral homes.
Regardless of time and place, being hit on by guys acting like they were in heat was merely an embarrassing past.
As Seo Dan-bi kept silent,
Hwang Mir, who was walking ahead, glanced back and said.
“You don’t know much. Our Dan-bi is unexpectedly popular with guys. So many guys try to get her number everywhere she goes.”
“Really? If you’re that popular, why are you still single? It’s not like you’re busy like me.”
Ha Yumi looked at Seo Dan-bi’s face in surprise.
“Popular? Why?”
Shin So-mang tilted her head in genuine confusion.
Her expression had no malice whatsoever.
Was she just lucky to look cute?
That thought crossed her mind, but she didn’t voice it.
“What should I say if you ask why…? Well, honestly, if you look at it objectively, Dan-bi is pretty cute. You have to admit that.”
“Is that so?”
Shin So-mang made the same expression she often used as an emoji.
That expression annoyed Seo Dan-bi, causing her to give Shin So-mang a light smack on the head.
“Ow! Why did you hit me?”
“Just because.”
As Shin So-mang pouted and glared at Seo Dan-bi.
Seo Dan-bi turned her head sharply and walked faster.
The four women arrived in front of the villa.
The villa’s door was open, and as they entered, they spotted three women sitting on the living room sofa.
“Oh? You’re already here?”
Beeep? Beeep!
Sage Lunaris.
The dispatched Medical Angel.
And.
Puu? This time, it’s weak humans!
A girl with two pairs of unique horns on her head, two thick and long tails growing from her back and butt, and green eyes and hair captured the assistants’ gazes.
She was the guardian of Earth, resurrected by the power of the Medical Angel.
*
Pururu—Gon-ah! The guardian is resurrected!!!
Mysticism—
Rize Nova—Oh! Seems like it worked!
Boglebogle—That’s a relief.
Luna-chan—We already resurrected, but I forgot to talk. >.< Yumi—Looks like her appearance changed a bit after resurrection!
Mirstin—She got a tail! She’s so cute!
Mirstin—And the Medical Angel is super cute too! I’m currently petting her!
The assistants’ chat lit up.
It seemed the dispatched Medical Angel had succeeded in resurrecting the guardian of Earth.
Afterward.
They heard a bit about the guardian.
The guardian’s name was ‘Nohkya.’
When Sage Lunaris roughly assessed, she appeared to have a danger level of about E.
And just as Sage had guessed.
Nohkya was indeed a being who had protected Earth from the Dimension Barrier since ancient times.
She had been kidnapped and killed by humans while sleeping, maintaining the barrier completely.
“…So, how is the Dimension Barrier now?”
Luna-chan—I just checked, and it’s still unstable…
“Have you asked Nohkya to spread a new barrier?”
Luna-chan—I already asked.
Luna-chan—But she said she couldn’t.
Is she perhaps unhappy because humans killed her?
Feeling like she no longer had any value in protecting them?
Such thoughts quickly flashed through.
But that was not the case.
According to Sage.
Nohkya had been killed by humans, yet she didn’t show any feelings of hatred and seemed to still love humans.
Luna-chan—It’s not that she doesn’t want to spread a new barrier, but that she can’t anymore.
Luna-chan—She said she has no power to spread a barrier anymore.
“She has no power anymore?”
Luna-chan—Yes. Nohkya, during her dying moments, poured all her power into strengthening the Dimension Barrier. That might be why it remained even after she died. It was also due to her soul still lingering on Earth.
Luna-chan—Of course, there is a way for her to regain her powers…
“What’s that?”
Luna-chan—She can ask the deity she used to serve for help to regain her powers.
Luna-chan—The power to spread the barrier, the power she sustained the barrier with. She said all of this was not her power, but borrowed from the deity.
Luna-chan—However, she can’t use that method anymore.
Luna-chan—Nohkya’s connection with the deity she served has been completely severed.
Luna-chan—It happened because she was taken under another deity during her resurrection.
“Huh? Taken under another deity?”
Suddenly?
Could it be that during the weakened state of the Dimension Barrier, a deity from another dimension approached the guardian?
Just as that thought crossed Sage’s mind.
Another chat from her came in.
Luna-chan—The Medical Angel is also a deity, you know.
