The Demon Castle, with its 100 levels, was where potent demons dwelled, among them Baran, the Demon King. Monarchs are often the most powerful figures in the world of Solo Leveling, but surprisingly, Jin-Woo managed to vanquish one of them. Could this be just a testament to how formidable Jin-Woo truly is?

Understanding the Strength of a Monarch

Monarchs are Beyond the Human World

In Solo Leveling, the world-creation extends beyond our human domain. Among the initially formed species, there are two distinct types known as Monarchs. These extraordinary beings were brought into existence by the Supreme Entity, and their primary function is to ultimately bring about the destruction of this world. Each Monarch governs a horde of monster species, which can be mobilized into a powerful magical force when required.

These beings possess enormous power sources and boast vast energy reserves, unlike humans who grow weaker over time, they gain strength as they age. Following their defeat at the hands of the Rulers, the Monarchs chose Earth as their hunting ground, targeting and feeding off human life to augment their own power.

How Strong was Baran?

In the realm of Demons, Baran held the throne as their ruler, one of the most powerful monarchs acknowledged. Only Ashborn and Antares may have surpassed him in power. However, soon after Ashborn became a part of the Monarchs, it became clear just how formidable he was, causing fear among them. This fear incited Rakan and Baran to plot against him, attempting to end his life. Yet, their treachery met its demise swiftly under Ashborn’s overwhelming strength. Despite being no match for Ashborn in strength, Baran managed to obliterate his shadow army before his own demise.

Who Did Jin-Woo Fight?

In the Demon Castle, Jin-Woo encountered a clone, not the genuine Baran who perished long ago at Ashborn’s hands. Since this was just a clone, it didn’t possess the authentic power that a true Monarch would have. However, it had an impressive aura that left Jin-Woo doubting his ability to overcome it. This illustrates how intimidating the genuine presence of a Monarch can be.

In addition to Baran’s clone, there was Kaisellin, a formidable creature resembling a dragon, by his side. With the aid of his army of shadows and a diversion provided by Esil, Jin-Woo managed to vanquish the clone. Moreover, he transformed Kaisellin into one of his shadow beings, now known as Kaisel.

Can Jin-Woo Defeat A Monarch?

In the realm of power, Monarchs and rulers remain enshrouded in deep mystery. What sets Jin-Woo apart in the human world is his exceptional talent for enhancement, a skill that often falters when confronted by beings of equal ability, namely the Monarchs. However, it’s important to note that Jin-Woo serves as a host for Ashborn, the most powerful among all Monarchs, who boasts an unparalleled strength. With an invincible army at his command and the uncanny knack of turning adversaries into allies, Jin-Woo undoubtedly possesses the might to challenge even the Monarchs.

Delving deeper into the captivating universe of Solo Leveling, I can’t help but feel the thrill as our protagonist, Jin-Woo, uncovers more secrets about this enigmatic world. The moment is fast approaching when he must make a choice: will he align himself with the human race or find himself at odds with them? The anticipation is palpable!
