Solo Leveling: What If Kamish Was The REAL Jeju Island Boss?

Summary

Kamish’s destructive potential surpassed Ant King, posing a grave threat to humanity.
Jeju Island wouldn’t have survived Kamish’s rampage, leading to widespread devastation.
Sung Jinwoo could have stopped Kamish, utilizing his shadow army and strategic brilliance.

I stood by, witnessing an audacious endeavor unfold – a joint operation by elite Korean and Japanese hunters, banded together in pursuit of a common goal on the mystical Jeju Island. However, the enigmatic Ant King, the formidable boss hidden deep within the labyrinthine dungeon, proved to be a merciless adversary. With an ease that was chilling, he systematically dispatched several high-ranking S-rankers without so much as a bead of sweat.

Despite Sung Jinwoo overpowering him and saving numerous lives, it’s intriguing to consider what might have transpired if a different dungeon boss had been present instead. Given the scarcity of S-rank dungeons, humans rarely encountered a boss of such rank; the last time they did was when they battled Kamish in America. If Ant King had been replaced as the boss, how would Jeju Island have fared under Kamish’s rule?

In simpler terms, Kamish was the leader of the initial top-tier gate that emerged on the western coast of America several years prior to Sung Jinwoo’s second transformation. This was the first instance of a threat on such a grand scale for humanity. Recognizing the severity of the situation, the American government displayed both initiative and humility by reaching out for international assistance. Hunters from all over the globe were summoned to the region, risking their lives in an attempt to protect innocent people.

Regardless of their determined attempts, Kamish’s rampage was so devastatingly destructive that it left even the most skilled hunters powerless. This high-tier dungeon boss wreaked havoc wherever it went, reducing entire cities to ruins. The aftermath brought about massive chaos and the loss of countless civilian lives, as well as over a hundred elite S-rank hunters.

It was mainly Kamish who caused most of the destruction and loss of life. He wasn’t restrained until the present National-level Hunters united to confront him directly. In absence of their intervention, Kamish could have plunged America into an unprecedented crisis.

What if Kamish Replaced Ant King as Jeju Island Dungeon Boss?

Jeju Island Raid Squad Would Not Have Survived Kamish’s Rampage

In just a few short days since its birth, the Ant King found itself facing off against the Jeju Island raid party. With an almost lethal blow to the squad, it showcased a power that suggested great things were yet to come. However, fate led him into the path of Sung Jinwoo, a figure as potent as himself. On the other hand, Kamish, who had been around for centuries, crossed over into the human world after the dungeon rupture. Given his extensive experience, he was well aware of his abilities and limitations, making him far more devastating to humanity than the Ant King in inflicting widespread suffering.

If it had been Kamish leading the secret Jeju Island dungeon instead of Ant King, things might have unfolded quite differently. Given his nature, he likely would have abandoned the Ant Queen within the caves and focused on the hunters outside. In this scenario, he could have initiated a massacre against the Japanese squad.

In the face of Kamish, even a skilled fighter like Goto Ryuji would have been overwhelmed, along with the rest of his team. They would have perished swiftly upon setting foot on Jeju Island. The only possible outcome for any member of the Japanese squad to survive would be if they recognized Kamish slaughtering their comrades and fled immediately, understanding that they had no chance against the magical creature.

In this situation, Kamish likely wouldn’t have been playing around with the Korean team within the Ant Queen’s lair, more like the Ant King does. His intense thirst for human blood is well-known, so he would have relished in slaughtering each hunter he encountered without giving them a chance to escape. By the time Sung Jinwoo arrived on Jeju Island in this hypothetical scenario, all he would have found were dead bodies.

Would Jinwoo Have Stopped Kamish?

Only Jinwoo Has the Power to Stop Kamish Alone

In stark contrast to the Ant King, Kamish exhibited an insatiable thirst for blood and possessed immense strength. Previously serving the Monarch of Destruction, this dragon demonstrated his power when he confronted humans. Remarkably, despite a coalition of over a hundred elite S-rankers from various regions attempting to oppose him, the country was still overrun by him.

Over time, I’ve significantly increased my strength compared to earlier. However, strangely, I sense a part of myself fading each time I grow stronger.

Jinwoo successfully overcame Ant King without suffering major harm, a notable accomplishment indeed. However, it’s crucial to remember that the top-secret boss of Jeju Island’s S-rank Gate hadn’t yet fully realized his potential. While Jinwoo’s victory is commendable, facing Kamish would prove to be a much tougher battle.

If Sung and Kamish engaged in combat, it’s clear that Kamish would have tested Sung’s physical endurance to its maximum. It might be interesting to consider that Jinwoo’s strength lay in his ability to recover from severe wounds. This trait could have been decisive, as the National Level Hunters were able to conquer an S-rank dungeon boss because one of them was a healing specialist.

In a different wording: The clash between the two would’ve been much more fierce, but it would’ve been advantageous for Jinwoo to summon his shadow army as well. Notably, Jinwoo has proven himself to be a strategic genius, swiftly evaluating situations and inventing smart tactics to counter his adversaries. Although Kamish could have inflicted substantial harm, he ultimately would have been defeated by Jinwoo’s cunning strategies.
