Solo Leveling Season 2 Drops First Look at Episode 18, Setting Up Jinwoo's Next Rescue

After a gripping cliffhanger, the anticipated sixth episode of Solo Leveling Season 2 has just revealed its story, teasing Jinwoo's next rescue mission in a dangerous dungeon. In Solo Leveling Season 2, Episode #5, Sung Jinwoo accepted the offer to be a carrier for the Strike Team B of the Hunters Guild to watch the monsters inside an A-Rank dungeon just ahead of his official announcement as the country’s tenth S-Rank Hunter. However, after Jinwoo helps Strike Team B from the shadows to defeat a horde of powerful high orcs, they are trapped by a barrier set by the shaman dungeon boss Kargalgan.

Although Sung Jinwoo already has powerful shadow soldiers, whether they are as strong as dozens of A-Rank monsters will be put to the test in the upcoming episode, according to a post on the series’ official website, which revealed that Solo Leveling's episode 18, titled "Don’t Look Down on My Guys," will feature an all-out battle.

The Hunters Guild Arc Will See Its End in the Upcoming Episode

Solo Leveling’s official website disclosed the story of episode 6, revealing that Sung Jinwoo will have to rescue the A-Rank Hunter in charge of Strike Team B, Son Kihoon, who is being used as a toy by Kargalgan just for fun. Additionally, the A-Rank boss Kargalgan appears to be a more powerful threat than the one measured by the Hunter Association, which caused the Hunters Guild not to send their strongest hunters, which means that even though Jinwoo was only an observer and didn't plan to get involved, he would have to reveal his true strength in order to battle the high orcs led by Kargalgan.

The great orc sorcerer Kargalgan, who had been lying in wait for Jinwoo and his friends, toyed with Kihoon, a commander of the attack force Strike Team.
As the Hunters' turn to despair, Jinwoo comes to the aid of the dying Kihoon. From Jinwoo's own shadow, various soldiers covered in light rise up and confront the High Orc's army.

The last time Jinwoo defeated two powerful bosses was inside the Demon Castle in Solo Leveling episode #3, and this will mark the first time in the series that he will have to fight against a high level mage-type monster—which has proved to know even the human language—while being severely outnumbered. So, more than just concealing his identity, Jinwoo will have to focus on a great strategy to defeat Kargalgan while protecting the Hunters Guild members.

The Hunters Guild's Vice Master Has Been Curious About Jinwoo’s Identity

Sung Jinwoo has been hiding his powers so as not to be mistaken as a false ranker while he is waiting for the three days set for the association for his retest to pass, so he is currently still an E-rank hunter. However, Cha Hae In—who has been acknowledged by Jinwoo to have a power level close to Chairman Go Gunhee—could sense something was different about him and went to look for him with the members of the mining team.

Since Solo Leveling Season 2 episode #5 ended with Cha Hae In outside the gate wondering why Jinwoo went inside with Strike Team B, this set the stage for her to enter the dungeon to aid her team members and find out what the real intentions of Jinwoo are. Nevertheless, Jinwoo’s presence is increasing in the story, which means that he will face new conflicts and maybe gain more allies as he continues to level up in Solo Leveling's anime.
