SOLO LEVELING SEASON 2 -ARISE FROM THE SHADOW-

Purified Blood of the Demon Monarch.

Now I have everything I need.

The rate of success and quantity depend on intelligence level?

Jinwoo, are you alright?

Craft.

The Elixir of Life is complete.

But, will this cure my mother's Eternal Slumber?

Iron, you're unusually quick-witted today.

Arise.

The name...

Kesslin... Kekalin...

What was its name again?

Jinwoo, you're terrible at remembering names.

Well, whatever.

Your name...

...shall be 'Kaisel.'

With this dragon, we'll return home in no time.

Let's hold a party when we return!

My father will be delighted!

- Umm... - I want to test

- Hey! - the elixir's effects immediately.

Are you listening?

- We're having a party! - Right, there's a rune stone in the reward.

A joyous party!

No...

Not this either.

Ermm...

Ah, here it is.

Shadow Exchange...

Does this mean I can switch places with my Shadow Soldiers wherever they are?

In that case...

Sorry, Esil, you go back alone.

Huh? What about the party?

The Radis family lives on the 80th floor.

It's too far for a detour.

No way...

Let's meet again if fate allows.

Take care.

Jinwoo, I...

Hmm?

Huh?

I really switched places with the patrol soldiers.

It takes three hours before I can reuse it.

Then the remaining journey...

Kaisel.

We'll use Hunters' magical power as bait to lure out the ants.

Then use special interference waves to disrupt their sensory communication.

The special forces will seize this chance to infiltrate the nest

and eliminate the queen ant, huh?

The issue is whether the interference waves will work properly.

It'd be a lie to say I don't feel uneasy.

However the investigation results are accurate, and the conclusions align with ours.

We've also established a retreat plan if the interference wave fails.

What we should do...

...is to make thorough preparations to send Hunters to that island.

Yes.

Additionally...

Have you been able to contact Hunter Sung?

Not yet.

Yoonho.

We rarely go drinking, so cheer up.

That was funny, wasn't it?

Byung-Gu, I don't understand at all.

Frowning will make you age faster.

Mind your own business!

S-Rank healer, Min Byung-Gu.

He is one of the few Hunters in the world who retired young with all limbs intact.

He's also my life-and-death companion.

Just like his weird sense of humor, he remains an eccentric.

Since when are you so tactful?

Yoonho.

Are you really going?

Yeah.

You saw how Eunseok died.

That's exactly why I must go.

If we let those ants run wild, the whole country will soon become like that.

Since when were you so patriotic?

I have to go either way, so I might as well do it for a good reason.

He said the same thing just like you.

I'm not going. Never.

If you came to invite me, then—

I came to say goodbye.

I might not be able to see you again.

I plan to take the civil service exam.

The civil service exam?

I don't want to see any more blood.

That's why I want to be a civil servant.

But I'm only good at history.

So the exam might be tough.

Are you good at history?

You know how much I love historical dramas, right?

Do you?

But that's how normal life should be.

Battles should remain confined to history.

Yes, you are right.

It's Hunters who are not normal.

Come to think of it,

I haven't met many Hunters who hate fighting magic beasts.

Fighting has become routine now.

Some even enjoy it...

Could it be, that's the condition for awakening...

Yoonho.

You're frowning again.

Shut up and drink!

Very sly, Your Excellency.

Why are you speaking like that?

That burn mark was my fault.

She might not be able to drink it.

Even if she does, no one knows what will happen.

But...

I've witnessed countless miracles from the system.

Including that I grew so much from E-Rank.

I'll trust it.

Mom.

Please open your eyes.

I keep fighting and growing for you.

Please wake up...

Mom...

I couldn't focus all day... Why is that?

The wind feels warm.

You're Jinwoo...

Right?

How long was I asleep?

Four years.

You slept for four years.

How is Jinah?

She's good.

Thank you, Jinwoo.

You kept your promise.

You've become so mature.

But you're covered in wounds.

You must have pushed yourself too hard, right?

It must have been tough for you.

It's nothing...

I'm fine...

I'm fine...

Thank you.

Jinwoo.

Yes...

The patient with Eternal Slumber has awoken?!

Yes, I know it's hard to believe.

Moreover, the patient's body shows no abnormalities.

The patient and their family want to be discharged immediately.

Jinah, you've grown so much.

Mom...

I'm sorry for worrying you.

All my efforts have been rewarded.

I've finally received the real reward.

Thank you all for gathering here today.

As you all know, disasters are now occurring nationwide

due to winged ant magic beasts from Jeju Island.

In response to this situation, the Hunter's Association...

...has decided to initiate the "4th Jeju Island Raid Mission."

This operation will involve not only domestic S-Rank Hunters

but also 10 S-Rank Hunters from Japan.

Hunters of A-Rank and below

will handle maritime surveillance and homeland defense

to jointly support this operation and protect other members.

This time, we are determined to succeed.

Eunseok...

To be honest, I'm scared.

Me too.

But those who can't fight must be far more scared than us.

We'll end this.

This is something only we can accomplish.

We can't let this country become an ant nest.

Darn it!

I'll crush those things with my bare hands...

Yoonho is someone to worry about.

Both in personality and abilities.

The only ones who can help him at critical times...

...are you and me.

Hey...

You do indulge yourself when I'm away.

Alright, let's start our first cleaning in four years.

The three of us will do it together.

This house has aged quite a bit.

The grime won't come off easily.

After all, we've lived here since I was born.

You're right.

This is the scene I've longed for.

But...

My heart is filled with unease.

While being a Hunter...

...did I cross a line that should never be crossed?

Jinwoo.

Huh? What is it?

Has your father contacted you?

By the way, I saw the news.

That you became a Hunter.

Mhm.

Your father was a firefighter before becoming a Hunter.

I married him because I thought he looked cool when saving lives.

You've inherited his trait.

I'm also trying to become a doctor to heal people.

Yes, that's right.

Jinah, you've inherited it too.

Right?

Hello?

Phew...

You handled the press conference well.

Yeah.

Thank you for attending as well.

It's nothing.

I didn't expect him to visit after the press conference.

Thomas Andre.

He's the America's S-Rank national authority Hunter.

I half-expected him to come help.

Given the timing, it was reasonable.

But someone with power tantamount to the national military

usually wouldn't intervene in a foreign country's operations.

True.

But then, why would he...

Maybe as he claimed, he was just passing through.

He may have come to intimidate us regarding Hunter Hwang

or to verify something.

Is Hunter Sung still unreachable?

No, we just contacted him.

He should arrive soon.

We'll depart in four days.

This raid mission has been our long-cherished goal.

Will you lend us your strength?

It's a prime opportunity for leveling up.

A pity to pass up.

I would've thought so before.

I...

Magical power waves?!

It's truly impressive that you can sense it from this distance.

The S-Rank Hunters are warming up at the gymnasium.

If you're interested, you can go take a look.

Instructor Baek!

You're still young, so shouldn't you work on strengthening your legs and back a bit more?

I'm just an office worker now, Instructor Ma!

S-Rank Hunters rarely gather like this.

The magical power wave earlier must have been from them.

Hunter Baek is being pushed back.

If President Baek goes all out, Hunter Ma probably couldn't withstand it.

Hello.

The person wearing the dobok is Ma Dongwook from the Fame Guild.

Why isn't he using full strength?

The opponent doesn't seem like someone he needs to hold back against.

It's undesirable to show his true power in front of so many people.

When he fights at full power, he becomes a real monster.

So the rumors about the transformation-type Hunter are true.

Also, those people over there are from the Knights Guild...

Oh?

They've come too.

They're Japan's S-Rank Hunters and Guild Master Goto Ryuji.

Hmm? Who's that?

Ah...

That's Hunter Sung Jinwoo, who recently became an S-Rank Hunter.

Seems to be a highly capable Assassin.

No. He's a Mage.

A Mage?

Oh?

Isn't that Hunter Sung who embarrassed our Minsung?

No wonder the atmosphere here changed.

So they are this country's top forces.

Somewhat disappointing.

Maybe because I'm always watching Mr. Goto's battles,

they don't look like S-Rank to me at all.

It's too early to judge.

I can't let that comment slide.

Miss Translator.

You were mocking us just now, weren't you?

I can tell even if it's in Japanese.

Brilliant, Guild Master!

You are...

This is the Guild Master of the Knights Guild,

Mr. Park Jongsoo.

Park Jongsoo?

Never heard of him.

The Master is an A-Rank Hunter, not an S-Rank Hunter.

That's probably why.

But we're still one of the top five guilds in the country.

- During this raid mission... - What are you doing?

You'd better not cause trouble.

They're the ones saying we're weak.

Alright, calm down.

Good timing.

Since everyone's here, let's hold a friendly match.

Only S-Rank Hunters will participate.

Are you excluding me?!

You can decide the rules of the match.

That sounds good.

However, Mages are hard to judge in strength, and non-combat Hunters should be excluded.

No problem.

Then only combat-type Hunters can participate.

Being grabbed at the wrists, touched on the back,

and falling to the floor will be considered a loss.

The match won't be one-on-one.

We all go together.

It'll be chaotic on the island anyway.

I understand.

Let's do that then.

Our participants will be:

Hunter Cha, Hunter Lim, Hunter Ma, and Hunter Baek.

Ours will be: Tawata, Kumamoto, Hoshino, and Tanaka.

Then, let the friendly match begin.
