Choi Seonyeon’s <Resistance> was a skill that either reflected or nullified the opponent’s skill. Both were problematic for Cheonghyeon. It was annoying that his skill didn’t work on it, but if he tried to turn its arm to dust and ended up turning his own arm to dust, that would be even worse.bcf1328b93b6c3fd

The Haegak Cheonghyeon knew was originally a giant deer. Its hide was tough enough to ignore most skills, and it could concentrate and release power through the tips of its branched antlers. Each sphere of energy it released had the power reminiscent of a dragon’s breath, leaving nothing but ruins in its wake.3d1029cb253df435
