Solo Leveling Season 2: Rise from the Darkness – Review Episode 1 + 2
Episode 1 of Solo Leveling Season 2 is not like the previous part with breathtaking action scenes but opens with a light atmosphere and introduces new characters.
Sung Jin-Woo's Life After Awakening
Episode 1 begins with Sung Jin-Woo, now a powerful hunter, living a normal life with his younger sister Sung Jin-Ah. As if transformed, Jin-Woo appears with a mature and handsome appearance to attend his sister's parent-teacher meeting. The teacher knows that Jin-Woo is a hunter, so she asks him for a not-so-easy task - to help Han Song-Yi, an E-rank hunter (and Jin-Ah's friend), lead her on a raid. The participation is to learn experience but in reality, to show her the dangers of being a hunter and give up this aspiration. Jin-Woo, although not enthusiastic, still agrees to help.
Next is the introduction of new characters before opening the next dangerous events.
Raid and Incident at Red Gate
Joining the raid, no one knew Jin-Woo's abilities and thought he and Song-Yi were only E-rank. The group was assigned to raid a low-level dungeon. After everyone had passed through, a red gate suddenly appeared, sucking everyone into a completely different space.
Everyone was scared because the red gate was the most dangerous. The team would not receive any support from the outside and could only escape by defeating all the monsters or completing its mission. Otherwise, everyone would be trapped and exhausted to death!
The dangerous frozen land
Solo Leveling Season 2: Rise From Darkness, the first battlefield is an icy land filled with monsters. As soon as they entered, a hunter was shot dead. At this time, the captain suggested dividing into two groups and choosing the strongest people. In that group, Jin-Woo was in the group with many weaker hunters and he was forced to protect them all.
With his overwhelming power, Jin-Woo exerted his leadership role and protected the people from the vicious Ice Elves and polar bears.
Defeat the Ice Bear and expand your army of darkness
A large pack of white bears appeared and attacked the other captain's group first. Jin-Woo's group also confronted them right after. He single-handedly took care of them all and was promoted in the system. That evening, Jin-Woo's group peacefully ate grilled bear meat and chatted happily.
Jin-Woo then used stealth to find and defeat the last bears in their lair. There were too many of them so Jin-Woo summoned his army and Igris appeared to receive his first command. The demon army won after the leader of the white bears was defeated by Igris. Jin-Woo used his ability to turn them into shadow warriors, expanding the power of his army.
New secrets and warnings revealed
The important detail of this Solo Leveling Season 2: Rise From Darkness episode is that Jin-Woo begins to discover clues about the origin of his power and the secrets of the system he is affected by. Jin-Woo also receives a reminder from the system that he will have to face a greater force in the future.
As for the other captain's group, only he survived because he was massacred by the ice elves. Episode 2 ends with the appearance of a new boss - the king of the ice elves. How will Jin-Woo face this creature because they have knowledge, use more complex weapons and are much more cruel?
