In the thrilling tale of ‘Solo Leveling’, our protagonist, Sung Jinwoo, transforms from a weak hunter to one of the world’s mightiest beings.

Among the numerous fearsome magic beasts that Jinwoo vanquished, arguably his most remarkable triumph was against Ant King, a high-tier dungeon boss notorious for his ominous abilities.

This accomplishment was remarkable due to the scarcity of S-rank Gates, and vanquishing their rulers is practically miraculous. However, given that Jinwoo defeated Ant King, what transpired if he encountered the initial boss of an S-rank dungeon?

The article poses speculative theories, based on some presumptions. For clarity, we’ve assumed that Jinwoo had a confrontation with Kamish following his triumph over the Ant King. This simplifies understanding as Sung is known to evolve continuously, and it’s crucial to pinpoint his abilities – specifically at a certain moment – to make an informed estimation.

Who Was Kamish?

The First S-rank Dungeon Boss

Long before the central plot unfolded, an initial S-rank Gate appeared in American territories. In response, it’s believed that the government took swift action by inviting top-tier S-rankers globally to handle this sudden predicament. Unfortunately, events took a sinister turn when a powerful red western dragon named Kamish escaped from the Gate after a catastrophic dungeon breach. Fuelled by a thirst for human destruction, this fearsome dungeon overlord rampaged across the West Coast of America.

A diverse team consisting of Liu Zhigang from China, Siddharth Bachchan from India, an unidentified high-ranking healer, Thomas Andre and Christopher Reed from the United States, valiantly took on Kamish, a merciless adversary. Despite the devastation wreaked by Kamish on America’s West Coast, these heroic hunters ultimately succeeded in defeating him, preventing countless other potential casualties.

The group of five successful Kamish hunters subsequently received the prestigious title of National-Level Hunter. Not only this, but they garnered political power equivalent to an entire nation and were recognized as the elite hunters globally. The remains of Kamish were preserved in the basement of the Federal Bureau of Hunters.

Jinwoo’s Victory Over Ant King

A Solo Triumph That Was as Consequential as Kamish’s Fall

Previously, overcoming Kamish was no trivial task since top hunters worldwide united to subdue the inaugural S-rank dungeon boss. For three consecutive years following this event, no Gate of equal rank appeared on Earth. However, this tranquility was shattered when Jeju Island encountered a perilous S-rank dungeon. This situation mirrored the crisis that occurred on America’s West Coast and provides insight into the hypothetical scenario where Jinwoo attempted to conquer the initial S-rank dungeon.

Following the emergence of the Jeju Island Barrier, the South Korean administration made every effort to dismantle it, but all attempts proved fruitless. Then, when a catastrophic event known as the dungeon burst occurred, the area was swarmed by magical creatures, rendering it inhospitable for humans. Over the ensuing years, numerous attempts to reclaim the island ended in failure, with many skilled South Korean hunters sacrificing their lives. In the aftermath, a joint task force comprising top Korean and Japanese hunters was assembled for the fourth Jeju Island expedition, with the aim of freeing the region from the grasp of advanced ant colonies residing there.

Without their knowledge, an elite S-rank dungeon boss lay in wait for them this occasion. As Ant King launched his deadly assault, it seemed as though there was no hope left. The Jeju Island raid party found themselves barely able to strike back while they received critical injuries or fell upon each attack by the dungeon boss.

The game took a new turn when Sung Jinwoo entered the fray and singlehandedly battled Ant King. As Korea’s 10th highest-ranked S-class hunter, he outmaneuvered the Ant King and vanquished the dungeon leader without showing his full might. Jinwoo’s triumph was decisive. The encounter with Kamish, however, proved to be much more perilous and demanded numerous casualties. Yet, it was ultimately Kamish who fell at the hands of five National Level Hunters, most of whom emerged relatively unscathed from the fierce battle.

In his battles, Jinwoo utilized his healing abilities to prevent severe wounds, while top-tier hunters probably relied on an exceptional healer among their group for success. This healer seemed crucial to their victories, as it appears the Jeju Island team was attempting to emulate this by their actions before Min Byung-Gyu fell at the hands of Ant King. Although Kamish’s defeat was impressive, Jinwoo’s victory over Ant King was nothing short of astonishing.

Could Sung Jinwoo Have Cleared the First S-rank Dungeon?

Only Jinwoo Has the Power to Defeat Kamish Alone

Overcoming Kamish was no trivial task; it demanded the joint forces of five National Level Hunters. Although Kamish appeared stronger than the Ant King, the latter proved formidable too. The Ant King single-handedly eliminated top Japanese hunters with a single blow and could have effortlessly wiped out the entire Jeju Island raid party if Jinwoo hadn’t intervened. Even some of the best S-rankers would likely have shared the same fate against the Ant King, and the casualties during Kamish’s rampage would have been as devastating as they were during his.

Suppose I’m a hunter who gets stronger every time I engage in combat. Just how powerful do you think I could become?” (Sung Jinwoo)

From my vantage point, it’s nothing short of astonishing that Sung Jinwoo triumphed over the covert Jeju Island S-rank Gate boss. What truly leaves me awestruck is his apparent lack of exhaustion, suggesting he could have continued fighting under different circumstances. Remarkably, he didn’t even come close to fully utilizing his capabilities during the fight. If Sung Jinwoo had encountered Kamish in America instead of National Level Hunters, that battle would undoubtedly have been far more grueling.

In the confrontation with Kamish, Jinwoo wouldn’t have had the option to hesitate or feel overly confident about the outcome. Instead, Kamish would drive Jinwoo to his utmost physical capabilities and compel him to adapt during the battle to gain an advantage. Interestingly, this wasn’t the first time Jinwoo found himself in such a predicament. Prior to defeating Ant King, he had already vanquished the S-rank Demon Castle by overcoming Baran. On both instances, Jinwoo opted not to deploy his shadow army to battle the boss head-on.

In contrast to National Level Hunters who were suddenly thrust into a critical battle without any prior preparation for such a large-scale conflict, Jinwoo had already gained an edge through his various experiences. Although Jinwoo might have initially faced difficulties against Kamish, he would eventually break through Kamish’s defenses, ensuring victory. Moreover, his shadow army, comprising the Ant King and other magic beasts, would have been capable of engaging in combat within the dungeon, ultimately defeating other magical creatures to safeguard humanity from Kamish’s destructive forces.
