7. Sung Jinwoo Vs. Hwang Dongsuk and His Corrupt Raid Team

Jinwoo Kills Corrupt Hunters

Arc: Dungeon and Prisoners Arc
Webtoon: Chapters 25 to 34

A mere few days following his revival, Sung Jinwoo found himself trapped in a dungeon alongside Hwang Dongsuk’s crooked raid team, who harbored the intent to eliminate both him and Yoo Jinho for their own gain from the raid. As they attempted to take his life on multiple instances, Jinwoo’s anger was palpable. Yet, he remained reluctant to engage in a fight.

I am saying you should get ready to become hunted. ~ Sung Jinwoo

Yet, when the System instructed Sung that he was to kill Hwang Dongsuk together with his accomplices, under the threat of death if he didn’t comply, Sung found himself with no other choice. It is worth noting that Jinwoo, despite being merely an E-ranker at the time, possessed a strength far beyond what his adversaries could handle. He effortlessly overpowered and eliminated Hwang Dongsuk and his corrupt associates.

The fight was swift yet powerful, unveiling an unexpected aspect of Sung’s character. That encounter marked the initial time Jinwoo took a life of another human, setting events in motion that would lead to his enmity with Hwang Dongsoo, with repercussions extending far beyond.

6. Sung Jinwoo Vs. Baran

Arc: Return to the Demon Castle Arc
Webtoon: Chapters 76 to 89

Jinwoo, fueled by a deep-seated wish to safeguard his loved ones, seized an opening to heal his ailing mother and wake her from her coma. He risked everything in pursuit of the essential components required for the magical elixir.

Are there others? Others you call king? ~ Ant King

On his journey to the top floor of the temporary dungeon, Jinwoo encountered Baran, the Ruler of White Flames. With his mother’s fate hanging in the balance, this fight was undeniably the most intense for Sung, as he had poured all his passion and effort into capturing the Demon Castle.

Regardless of Baran’s powerful attacks, Jinwoo battled bravely. With each strike and subsequent response, his determination to triumph only intensified. As the fight neared its conclusion, Jinwoo was overwhelmed with emotion, realizing he had discovered the remedy for his mother’s illness and would soon be able to converse with her once more.

5. Sung Jinwoo Vs. Ant King

Jinwoo Rescues Jeju Island Raid Party

Arc: Jeju Island Arc
Webtoon: Chapters 90 to 107

Aware of the impending danger from magical creatures on Jeju Island, Japanese and Korean hunters united in an effort to regain control before it became irreversible. Despite their knowledge about the perilous ants inhabiting the island, they weren’t fully equipped for confronting the hidden lair’s fearsome boss.

In response to Ant King’s relentless killing spree of the hunters, Sung Jinwoo hurried to the island in a desperate attempt to rescue them from their grim fate. The ruthless murders and the subsequent turmoil laid the groundwork for an extraordinary confrontation between two formidable opponents.

In typical fashion, Jinwoo consistently outmaneuvered his rival during the fight, ultimately defeating Ant King, which gained him global acclaim. Prior to this confrontation, an S-ranked dungeon had only been conquered once in recorded history, making his win a feat that no hunter had ever accomplished before, raising his status to unprecedented heights.

4. Sung Jinwoo Vs. Sillad and Rakan

Jinwoo Returns From the Dead to Defeat Two Monarchs

Arc: Monarchs War Arc
Webtoon: Chapters 150 to 166

Following their successful stabbing of Jinwoo, Sillad and Rakan felt certain they had triumphed in the conflict. However, their triumph was brief, as Sung’s heart, ominously black, began to beat once more. Empowered by the true might of the Shadow Monarch, Jinwoo countered Sillad and Rakan with an indomitable spirit.

I am a testament to your battles, the proof of your resilience, and the prize of your hardships. I am death, I am everlasting peace, I am fear itself. (Ashborn’s reinterpretation)

Moments earlier, the pair appeared overwhelmingly powerful, but they were no match for Sung when it mattered most. Effortlessly, Jinwoo defeated them, thwarting their desperate effort to suppress Ashborn’s successor before it became impossible to do so.

3. Sung Jinwoo Vs. Hwang Dongsoo

Desire for Revenge Leads to Dongsoo’s Downfall

Arc: International Guild Conference Arc
Webtoon: Chapters 140 to 149

Ever since his brother’s mysterious death within a low-level dungeon, Hwang Dongsoo had been driven by revenge. When he learned that Jinwoo was being invited to the U.S. for the International Guild Conference on behalf of Korea, he saw this as a chance that he couldn’t ignore.

Dongsoo abducted Yoo Jinho as bait to draw Sung into a snare, believing it would instigate a battle between Sung and Thomas Andre, who would then eliminate Jinwoo to fulfill his revenge. However, Sung became so enraged that he relentlessly assaulted Hwang, causing his willpower to shatter dramatically.

Despite Dongsoo’s strategy partially succeeding and Thomas engaging in a conflict with Jinwoo, neither of them could prevent what was destined to happen. In the end, Sung overpowered Andre and took Dongsoo’s life, thus ending his ill-fated quest for vengeance.

2. Sung Jinwoo Vs. Antares

Jinwoo Defeats the Monarch of Destruction

Arc: Final Battle Arc
Webtoon: Chapters 167 to 177

I once found myself facing off against a formidable adversary, none other than the mighty Antares, the Dragon Monarch himself. Amidst the chaos and turmoil that swept across the globe, it was Sung who bore the weight of the world’s fate on his shoulders during those tumultuous times.

Destroy everything. That is the only mission bestowed upon us. ~ Antares

In a perilous situation where his life hung in the balance, Sung valiantly resisted and managed to outwit the Tyrant of Ruin. What made Jinwoo’s triumph remarkable was his ability to envision a future for mankind that was free from the devastation wrought by the Gates. Not only did he emerge victorious in the conflict, but he also safeguarded the lives of countless individuals who would have otherwise fallen prey to the merciless war.

1. Sung Jinwoo Vs. Kandiaru

Jinwoo Earns His Freedom From the System

Arc: Double Dungeon Arc
Webtoon: Chapters 123 to 131

Since the Double Dungeon incident where Sung miraculously survived and experienced a reawakening, he found himself intrigued by the enigmatic influence of the unusual System guiding his life choices. Being naturally inquisitive, he yearned to trace the roots of this mysterious software.

In my observation, it was a momentous occasion as I witnessed Sung Jinwoo step back into the Double Dungeon once more, a place that held significance for him. Here, he was met by Kandiaru, the ingenious mind behind the System. The ensuing conflict was a struggle for Jinwoo’s liberation from the System, which ultimately revealed secrets that drastically altered his perspective on life.

In the end, Jinwoo’s triumph not only released him from the shackles that had been with him since his reawakening, but it also imparted upon him the realization that he was destined to be the true heir of the Shadow Monarch.
