While episode 1 was still quite light, in episode 2, fans witnessed a breathtaking confrontation between Sung Jin-Woo and Ice Elf, a mysterious and dangerous creature. This was an important turning point, opening up new challenges in the main character's journey.
Summary of episode 2
Encounter with the Ice Elves
Not keeping the audience waiting long, Jin-Woo and his group quickly encountered the Ice Elf tribe. The strange thing is that only Jin-Woo can understand and talk to them, this must be a new ability due to the influence of the system. The elves also interacted with Jin-Woo from the voice in his head and offered him to hand over his teammates in exchange for his safety. Jin-Woo of course refused and was ready to fight to protect his teammates. To reiterate, Jin-Woo was determined to get the whole team out, especially Song-Yi because he was the one who led her to enter the red gate, and he was forced to bring her back safely.

Refusing the goblins' offer, Jin-Woo knew he was about to fight because their leader had appeared - Baruka. The battle was extremely difficult because Baruka was not an ordinary opponent but had superior strength, maybe even equal or stronger than Jin-Woo.
The real war begins between Jin-Woo and Ice Elf
In Solo Leveling Season 2: The Confrontation Between Jiwoo and Ice Elf, Jin-Woo did not need to say much and also showed off his powerful dark army - the warrior army and the large white bear appeared. Baruka also seemed excited because it had been a long time since there was a battle of equal level. The two armies rushed at each other and both sides suffered many casualties.
Baruka with his power made Jin-Woo's dark army face many difficulties. Sung Jin-Woo was surprised by Baruka's power but still maintained his composure. He summoned the strongest dark generals, especially Igris and Beru, to block the opponent.

Jin-Woo and Igris fought Baruka, Jin-Woo used stealth to stab him in the stomach, and at the same time summoned Igris to swing his hammer to finish Baruka. His army was all killed by Jin-Woo's army.
The battle was won, the gate opened and everyone returned with relief. Outside the gate was already 3am (it had been a week outside when the team entered the red gate), the red gate turned green and everyone walked out. The guild leader couldn't believe that the low-level hunters had returned safely, while the A-rank and B-rank hunters would never return. After that, the guild leader decided to recruit Jin-Woo into his guild. Jin-Woo's spoils were quite good, he got a good dagger, but he couldn't summon the soul of Baruka to take under his command.
