Hwan Seongon

Hwan Seongon (환성곤, Hwangseon-gon) is a mysterious person who was collecting spirit stones to save his daughter, Hwan Seong-A and one of the Strong Hundred. He transferred as a replacement Chemistry teacher in Jihan's school and he has connections with the Existence Eater.

Appearance[]

Hwan Seongon is a middle aged man often dressed in a black suit and wears sunglasses. He has a ring on his left hand with a chain connected to a silver bracelet on his wrist. When he take off his sunglasses, it is shown that his eyes have a black sclera and glowing yellow irises which makes him look like a demon.

Personality[]

He acts emotionless and composed most of the time. Apparently he has very little to no regard for bystanders since he threatened to kill Han Jihan in two occasions but when Jihan saved his daughter he thanked him. The only thing he considers important is his daughter. He has stated that she is more important than his life and became overprotective of her while being angry at Jihan for going on a date with her, constantly showering him with killing intent. He could be seen as a very preoccupied father so he doesn't care about anything that is not related to his daughter.

History[]

Plot[]

The Quest Above My Head[]

Seongon suddenly attacks Kwon Shiyeon in order to assess her skills and he summons the fire-breathing Cerberus to fight her, but Han Jihan wanders into the Illusion Barrier that took place. The hyperactive Cerberus starts growling while leaking flames from his mouth but Seongon calms it with a pat. After taking a glance at Shiyeon's abilities, he recounts the facts he knows of on the Soul Blaze Fist Martial Art style and commented on how he's surprised by her battle with his summoned beast. Shiyeon demands for the reason why he attacked her and Seongon answers this truthfully. When Shiyeon asks for him to elaborate, Seongon cuts her off and states that they'll communicate with actions. He sends his canine at her and during that same moment Jihan tries to escape but is caught by another summoning belonging to Seongon, the Black Slime. Seongon manipulates the sludge into coiling around Jihan's leg and lifts him up to a more visible location. Seongon questions if Shiyeon is thinking of running but threatens to tear up Jihan if she does so and creates a ring of Black Slime around him. Seongon acknowledges that she won't have any trouble with leaving but states Jihan might die. Shiyeon calls him a coward and questions if he intentionally brought a civilian into this but Seongon reassures her that if she's to fight at her full strength, no harm will befall on Jihan and clarifies that Jihan involved himself. Shiyeon doubts this but Seongon queries why he would lie although he admits that it's peculiar since Jihan's a civilian yet he got into the Illusion Barrier. He orders Shiyeon to attack but warns that she will die as well if she betrays his expectation. The Black Slime starts reacting and the canine charges at her.

Abilities[]

Being a level 46 makes him a really powerful character shown so far, he has not been seen fighting for himself since his summons do the fighting. He also requested 'Witch of Slaughter' to kill all the cleaners who are targeting his daughter. While she stated that she can easily kill enemies whose strength are at B - rank or lower, Hwan himself told her to notify him when an A - rank shows up as he will deal with them personally, although he is stated to be weakened. In the earlier chapters his level was shown to be 46, but it can be due to the seal he placed on himself to accumulate mana for his daughter's ritual, so his power is to be expectantly higher. The President of The Company refers to him as an "SSS-ranked monster". In the Arc of the Great Labyrinth, Shin Seonil and Han Jihan estimated his level shown is more than 200, and is confirmed to be one of the Heavenly Thousand.

• Black Soul: Like his daughter, or perhaps this is a heredity trait, Hwan Seongon's soul nature allows him to connect and draw power from dark dimension. Theoretically speaking, this allow him access to 'unlimited' amount of dark energy.

His more used abilities shown are till now:

• Summoning: Hwan Seongon has the power to summon a variety of monsters.
• Absorbing Sphere: This is a red floating energy sphere that can absorb spirits inside a barrier, then the sphere itself is absorbed by Hwan Seongon with unknown effects.
• Teleportation: He has the ability to teleport himself and others. When this is done they are enveloped by shadows and disappear.
• Forbidden Root Corrosion: A forbidden technique that requires a lot of mana for the user. It absorb the 'root' of the user's power. In exchange, it becomes a powerful purification source to heal people. It supposed to be fatal for the user, but Hwan Seongon can survive it thanks to his Black Soul.
• Black Demon's Meal: It wipes out the existence of your opponent. And turns their very soul into a concentrated gem. He consumes these gems to become stronger. Just as the ability says, it is an ability that allows you to consume others.
