Akryung




 * - Akryung

Akryung (악령, Ahkryeong; "Akryung"; likely 惡靈, meaning "Evil Spirit") is one of Headon's underlings who was assigned to help Rachel to get through the Tower. It is unknown what status he mantains in The Tower.There is also a possibility of him being irregular (ch 56) He entered the Second Floor with 198 other Regulars (200 in total), and teamed up with Androssi and Rachel to defeat them all. He is completely silent, never speaking except for making a few cryptic chuckling noises.

It's uncertain if his team took and passed Lero-Ro's Test and the Door Test, so they could take part in the Crown Game, which was held in another test center. Yet the comic has implied a Regular or his team must pass all compulsory tests (most of the tests on 2nd Floor). Also, the only way his team could skip or "cheat" a compulsory test was to be chosen by Koon Agero Agnis to be his allies and to hide in his bag Manbarondenna, like Blarouse and his team. But they only met Baam's team in the Crown Game so this option wasn't open to him. All the tests on the 2nd Floor were also designed to filter out those who threatened the stability of the Tower, so it's a bit doubtful the Testing Director would exclude his team as Akryung was considered to be an Irregular. After all, he was keeping up appearances.

In the Crown Game he did nothing to either help or hurt Baam's team. For the Position Test he was assigned to the Spear Bearer position, and passed early by hitting an extremely distant target on his first try. According to Androssi, he is very strong. Nothing else is currently known about his history or his motivations. Many recent theories suggest the idea that Akryung is nothing more than a mindless bodyguard, only moving and working for Rachel.

Etymology
In Korean, his name directly translates to "Evil Spirit", beffitting his nature.
