Flesh, almighty, mesmerized

Comments

I don't like Qasim's character, he is overproud of his skills, and when he fought Yu, he lost because he was too arrogant and underestimated Yu.


Unforgettable scene from the story :




While everyone was looking down on Baeksan Ryu, he managed to show that he was capable.

After making a report, give your grade for the comic(s) you read !
a. Good   b. Average    c. Bad

Reasons : because besides entertaining, this comic also has lesson that we can take, namely don't be too arrogant about the strengths you have, but use those strengths to help weak people.
