Seon also knows as the "Sword God" was the leader and co-founder of Cheonghwado together with his oldest friend and comrade ,The Spear God. He was also the first disciple of the Martial King and was regarded as one of the Obelisk's "Nine Kings".
Later after Cheonghwado's fall and his continued use of "[Cannibal]", Sword God eventually became "Faceless" due to assimilating numerous souls into himself.
Physical Appearance[]
As the Sword God, he was described as being physically imposing and fit. Similar to the "Hoarder", the Sword God also wore a mask that obscured his face, with him wearing a Lion Mask.
Without his mask on, The Sword God was described to be a handsome middle aged man. After his battle against the Summer Queen, he lost his left arm.
Personality[]
Similar to all the High Rankers and Clan Leaders within the Tower, Sword God is shown to constantly hunger and desire more power for himself and is shown to be completely unrepentant in his actions to obtain it. This is shown where he had little to no qualms with whatever method he deemed "necessary" to obtain more. With him having displayed immense amounts of amorality, malicious manipulation/intent, power lust, avarice and downright evil intentions both done by himself personally or under his orders with little guilt or regret. As seen where he personally ordered and oversaw the usage of using hundred-upon-thousands of lives from the players within the Tutorials in order to create the Philosophers Stone and was shown to even Manipulate and Trick even his closest subordinates such as the Saber God to use him as a sacrificial pawn to increase his power further and kill him off when he no longer had any use for him.
However despite his usual malignant traits common to the Ranker of the Tower, The Sword God has also displayed levels of more positive traits to him as well. This is seen where he can be charismatic and caring leader to the point that he could genuinely gain the trust and respect of all of his subordinates of Cheonghwado and has shown a level of concern for their well being during battle. And despite his callous treatment of the Saber God, The Sword God has shown to be capable of feeling genuine feelings of friendship and care for the Spear God due to him being his oldest friend and first supporter after striking out on his own to form his own Clan. He was also noted to favor Leonte despite his prior allegiance to Arthia and actually allowed him to borrow his God Level Weapon, Guangnir, to help him in battle.
This is seen during the aftermath of Cheonghwado's War with Red Dragon, where after his defeat and learning of the Spear God and his subordinates gruesome deaths protecting him as they evacuated him away from the battle and subsequent ravaging of Cheonghwado's remaining safe houses and territories by enemy soldiers and rival clans taking advantage of the situation to eliminate him, he cried genuine tears of sadness and felt grief at the loss of his oldest friend and loyal subordinates.
The Sword God was also shown to possess a strong will and powerful ambition, as noted by his teacher the Martial King during his training under him, where he was noted to put everything on his lessons to improve himself and finally his Independence to build his own clan with Flann. Later despite being defeated and the gruesome scene of his subordinates mangled bodies as meat shield to protect him, The Sword God was shown to not be discouraged by his losses and was shown to only solidify his resolve to become even stronger and rebuild his clan.
Synopsis[]
Background[]
Sword God training with Flann under Nayu’s mentorship
The Sword God was born mute and incapable of speaking and as such during his days prior to becoming a Ranker suffered much abuse,bullying and ridicule for his disability that later served as one of his motivators to obtain power and enter into the Obelisk. Although the exact circumstances are unknown, The Sword God, soon became the very first disciple of Nayu, the Martial King of the powerful One-Horned Tribe hailed as the strongest individual produced by the tribe in its thousand year existence.
Upon being taken in as a Disciple, Nayu gave him the challenge to create his own Mugong Martial Art Technique before teaching him his Eight-Extreme Fists technique. A challenge he completed within 30 Days, the highest accomplishment every accomplished during the tribe's history. Impressed by his power and potential, The Martial King then proceeded to train him in the usage of his personal Mugong of the Eight Extreme Fists that the Sword God then adapted into his own version called the Eight Extreme Sword Techniques.
Also during his time in the Tribe, The Sword God had also befriended the Martial King's brother, Flann. Who then become his closest and life long friend and his first ally. Eventually after learning all he can from the Tribe, The Sword God soon made his decision together with Flann to leave the tribe behind and form their own Clan within the Tower.
As he began climbing the Tower and completing its trials, the Sword God soon began making a name for himself as the Tower's strongest Swordsman that soon gave him his current moniker as the Sword God.
During his time in the tower and completing its trials, his most favored memory was the Trial stated to be the one within 20th Floor of the Tower. Due to the Five Mountains of Penances trial depraving him of his sense's and him gaining the skill of [Open Speaking] that finally granted him the ability to verbally communicate with others.
Eventually after successfully founding and creating his own clan called Cheonghwado and rising to the top of the Tower's most influential and powerful Clans, the Sword God eventually came to blows with Cha Jeong-woo and his own clan of Arthia due to finding them to be an eyesore due to their sky rocketing success despite them being much smaller and younger than even compared to his own clan.
Eventually the Sword God then agreed to the grand alliance with the other eight clans in order to destroy Arthia and aligned with them. During this time, it was known that he willingly took in Leonte despite his actions of willingly betraying Arthia and gave him a high position as one of the Martial Gods of his clan.
Skills & Abilities[]
Swordsmanship[]
Fitting with his title, Sword God was noted to be the most powerful and most skilled swordsman in the entire Tower and was noted to have mastered various sword styles, techniques and even invented and created his own unique style by combining his various unique skills and techniques that he had acquired in the Tower's Trials and the Martial Art's techniques he learned from the Martial King.
- Eight Extreme Fists: Eight Extreme Swords: Eventually upon being trained in Nayu's personal Mugong Martial Arts, Sword God would adapt the techniques into his swordsmanship and successfully converted the Hand-to-Hand techniques into Sword Based techniques.
Mugong[]
During his time training and learning in the One-Horned Tribe under the Martial King, the Sword God was noted to have passed Nayu's test of inventing his own unique Mugong technique under only 30 days, a record un-achieved by any of the One-Horned Tribesman or any other of their students at the time. Later he would then be taught Nayu's own extremely powerful Mugong, the Eight Extreme Fists, Which he would then adapt for his own use.
Skills[]
- [Open Speaking]: A Skill obtained during his trial on the 20th Floor in the Five Mountains of Penance. The Sword God has effectively obtained the ability to directly "speak" to someone by directly transmitting his thoughts in to their mind. Due to him having been born mute, this Skill is the Sword God's most regularly used due it making communication much faster.
- Cannibal: After Leonte brought back information on the newly translated Emerald Tablet in order to create the Philosophers Stone, Sword God successfully obtained the Skill, Cannibal. Where by extracting and eating the hearts of other Rankers, he can successfully absorb and assimilate their skills, mana and power in order to greatly boost his own power.
- Sword Manipulation: The Sword God has also shown to have an unnamed skill to telekinetically manipulate and control up to four sword simountaniously with his mind.
Items[]
Due to his status as the leader of one of the Top 9 Clans and as a High Ranker, Sword God possessed numerous high level items and even God level Weapons in his arsenal.
- Gungnir: The Divine Weapon of Odin the chief leader of the Asgardian Gods. The weapon itself was stated to have no exact form and was instead stated to be able to morph itself into multiple forms to better suite its user. With it having been described as a Sword, Spear, Axe, Knife or a Whip. Although by unknown means, it was shown that the Sword God can actually loan out this weapon despite Godly Weapons typically being bound to its user in order to boost the powers of his subordinates. As seen where he loaned it to Leonte in order to give him an edge in battle due to him only being ranked as Low High Ranker. When not in use, the Weapon would typically be in Bracelet Form until used. Its been stated that the Sword God can utilize Gungir's true power unlike Leonte and once activated it was stated that the Weapon could kill the Summer Queen in one blow, Albeit using its true function requires a considerable amount of time to activate and a single use of the weapon requires gigantic amount of magic power to use.
