by

Summary

  • Demon King’s Longsword is Jinwoo’s strongest weapon, providing +350 Attack and “Storm of the White Flames” effect.
  • The weapon has different appearances based on its current wielder.
  • While Jinwoo prefers daggers, the Longsword is his strongest weapon, surpassing his Demon King’s Daggers.

In the concluding episode of “Solo Leveling Season 2: Emerging from Shadows“, Sung Jinwoo advanced to Level 100, a significant milestone for the upcoming third season, and unveiled one artifact acquired during his fight against Baran in the eighth episode of season 2. Notably, this artifact was The Demon King’s Longsword, which lived up to its name as it once belonged to the former Demon King, Baran.

Just how powerful is this new weapon, and how does it compare to the others in Jinwoo’s arsenal?

About The Demon King’s Longsword

A Blade that Belonged to the Monarch of White Flames Himself

Previously mentioned was the Demon King’s Longsword, one of the items Jinwoo obtained from Baran’s dropped loot. This weapon is exceptionally strong in melee combat, granting its wielder a +350 Attack boost and the “Storm of the White Flames” ability, which triggers a random lightning storm when swung. Jinwoo utilizes this ability to cut through hordes of enraged ants, paving the way for the Korean S-Rank evacuation team on Jeju Island. The sword’s design aligns with its foreboding name, featuring a light-toned blade with a central black tendril running along it.

The Demon King’s Longsword adapts its appearance based on its user. For example, when Baran held it, it had a light blue blade with a yellowish guard and grey hilt. When Sung Jinwoo wielded it, the sword kept its light blue blade initially, but the handle and guard turned pitch-black. Later, Jinwoo gave the sword to Igris for regular use, and eventually, it became Cha Hae In’s primary weapon.

In the mobile game “Solo Leveling: ARISE”, the Demon King’s Longsword, a top-tier SSR item, boasts an intriguing and unique description. This sword holds a thunder spirit named Grouse inside it. Furthermore, similar to many fictional demon swords, it bears a “cursed” attribute, sapping the life energy of its wielder to power its formidable abilities.

The Demon King’s Longsword originated during the lengthy conflict between the Monarchs and the Rulers, a time marked by Monarchs wielding their swords against each other in a struggle for subservience to Kamish, the Dragon King. Following a startling act of betrayal that left him impaled with a longsword, Grouse’s rage transformed into a potent electric charge. Baran managed to keep hold of the sword amidst the surging electricity, and when peace was restored, the sword emitted an energetic hum.

How Does It Compare to Jinwoo’s Other Weapons?

Currently the Strongest in Jinwoo’s Arsenal

In the course of “Solo Leveling Season 2 -Arise from the Shadow”, Jinwoo acquires the Demon King’s Longsword as his most potent weapon, earning it an S-Rank status. This sword, as portrayed in the Solo Leveling comic, is imbued with the raw power of a Demon Lord. The Storm of the White Flames ability is depicted as conjuring a whirlwind of continuous lightning within a certain area. With its impressive attack power of +350, this sword surpasses even Jinwoo’s Demon King’s Daggers, which he wielded during his fight against the Ant King and boast an attack power of +220 (for each dagger).

It’s likely that if Jinwoo were a skilled swordsman, he might often wield the Demon King’s Longsword due to its superior power. However, his preferred weapons are a pair of daggers, so it seems he tends to use other weapons from his collection more frequently. Although the Demon King’s Longsword is his most powerful weapon (by quite a margin), Jinwoo is more likely to employ other weapons in his inventory. As we move forward beyond the Jeju Island Raid Arc, Jinwoo will encounter even stronger enemies and potentially acquire greater loot, which means this is only the start of his journey towards becoming even more powerful.
