Could Thomas Andre Solo Clear Jeju Island Dungeon?

Summary

Thomas Andre is a powerful National Level Hunter with exceptional abilities and a strong track record.
Andre would have easily defeated the Ant Queen and her minions during the Jeju Island raid.
Despite his strength, Andre would not have won against the Ant King due to the boss’s deadly poison.

The Jeju Island operation was one of Korea’s most notable missions due to its rich historical background. Few have managed to conquer an S-rank dungeon, and those who did became renowned as elite National Level Hunters.

Among this group, Thomas Andre stands out as the most powerful and impactful individual. However, can he solo conquer the Jeju Island S-rank dungeon like Sung Jinwoo? Given his extensive background, it’s reasonable to think he could handle the mission. But is he truly equipped for the task? Let’s delve into the matter.

Who is Thomas Andre?

The Strongest National Level Hunter

Webtoon Debut: Chapter 83
Anime Debut: Episode 21
Powers: Spiritual Body Manifestation, Reinforcement, Collapse, and Capture

Thomas Andre is exceptionally skilled among global hunters, having overcome adversity from humble beginnings marked by poverty. His unyielding determination and relentless ambition allowed him to transform his circumstances.

Well, being a little frustrated is better than being dead, I’m sure!

Andre found himself blessed with extraordinary abilities upon his awakening, which led him to join some of the toughest battles that have significantly impacted the world. Among his many accomplishments, he is recognized as one of the five warriors who successfully vanquished Kamish, halting his destructive campaign across America. Thomas, on the other hand, heads the Scavenger Guild and boasts a wealth of expertise in managing and combating perilous magical beasts.

Thomas Andre Against Ant Queen and Her Minions

Scavenger Guild’s Leader is Too Powerful for the Ant Queen

As a top-tier national hunter, Thomas Andre has battled magical creatures of all levels. Being among the select few who have encountered Kamish, he is well aware of the danger that S-rank portals usually present. If he were to find himself on Jeju Island and face off against the advanced ants, Andre would be more than capable of handling the situation.

During the attack on Jeju Island, most Japanese hunters were successful in fending off numerous ants by themselves. Given Andre’s impressive size and strength, he would have had a multiplier effect when fighting off any magical beasts that targeted him. By the time Andre reached the Ant Queen’s lair, Thomas could already feel the impending victory.

As stated by the Ant King, the Ant Queen lacks combat skills. In a confrontation with Thomas Andre, she wouldn’t have had a fighting chance, even with her guards present. The Scavenger Guild’s leader could have effortlessly eliminated everyone in the Ant Queen’s domain without suffering any severe injuries.

Thomas Andre vs. the Ant King

Andre Would Not Have Won Against Ant King

Upon encountering the top-tier S-rankers from both Japan and Korea, the Ant King felt like a predator tracking its quarry. He held humans in contempt, considering himself superior. His self-assuredness grew when he effortlessly defeated some of Japan’s elite fighters. When the Ant Queen signaled for aid, the Ant King engaged the Korean hunters within their lair.

Are there others? Others you call king?

Just like the Japanese, the Koreans were no match for his strength. The Ant King toyed with them until he severely wounded many and killed Min Byung-Gyu. He could have wiped them out entirely, but his attention was drawn outside the lair by Goto Ryuji’s formidable presence. Their encounter, even against Japan’s top hunter, was swift, as he beheaded him before he could react. The Ant King would have been invincible if not for someone like Sung Jinwoo, who had effortlessly defeated several high-ranking magical beasts before this.

Previously, Thomas Andre had faced off against a high-ranking dungeon boss, Kamish, but he wasn’t alone in this battle. He was backed by four elite hunters from the national level, one of whom specialized in healing. Their combined efforts were likely essential for the successful completion of that mission. If not for their support, Andre might not have stood a chance against someone as powerful as Kamish. It’s worth noting that although Kamish was stronger than the Ant King, the Ant King was no walkover and could have potentially caused destruction on par with a national catastrophe in Korea, had Sung Jinwoo not acted at the right moment to stop him.

In summary, it can be inferred that by the time Jinwoo engaged in battle with the secret dungeon boss on Jeju Island, he was significantly stronger than Thomas Andre. This is due to his previous victories, such as clearing Demon Castle, an S-rank instant dungeon, and defeating the dungeon boss Baran, Monarch of White Flames. Furthermore, during the battle against the Ant King, his experience proved crucial. Even with this enhanced strength, Jinwoo would have perished if not for his abilities like Longevity and Detoxification, which allowed him to counteract the Ant King’s poison.

Unfortunately, as a Tanker-class hunter, Andre can’t heal his own injuries. Even if he managed to overpower the Ant King for much of the fight, the S-rank dungeon boss just needed one chance to poison him. Given how powerful the Ant King is, it wouldn’t be difficult for him to create such an opportunity. This means that Thomas Andre likely wouldn’t have been able to defeat the Ant King.
