Solo Leveling Chapter 169: Release Date, Delay, Discussion

Chapter 168gave us an insight into Bellion’s past when he joined the Shadow Monarch’s army. Bellion revealed that he was Ashborn’s first soldier.

Earlier in the chapter, Jin-Woo settled the things between Bellion and Beru by asking Beru to accompany him by being on his left side.

In the aftermath of training, Jin-Woo’s mom senses that something is going to happen. On the other hand, chairman Woo Jin-Chul learns about the true power of the dragon army.

As asked by jin-Woo, he gathers representatives from around the world. Jin-Woo intends to reveal the real upcoming situation to all the hunters.

How powerful is the dragon army? Will Jin-Woo’s shadow army be able to defeat them? Let’s find out.

We bring you the latest chapter updates for this webtoon.  

1. Chapter 169 Discussions and Predictions

In the next chapter, Jin-Woo will reveal the truth to the representatives of all the countries and possibly also to the media. I’m curious about how other countries will react to learning about monarchs and rulers.

Judging from the reaction of Woo Jin-Chul after he saw the powers of the dragon army, they appear to be immensely powerful, which raises the question of whether Jin-Woo’s shadow army is ready to fight them or not.

While Jin-Woo is handling the things back on Earth, his army must be training hard in the other dimension. So it’s difficult to predict who’s going to win since we are yet to see their true powers.

The next chapter is going to be interesting, as the dragon army will most probably land on the Earth. Next week, Jin-Woo’s plan and what he intends to do by gathering the representatives other than informing them will also be revealed.

4. Chapter 168 Recap

After Beru challenges Bellion for the rank of grand-marshall and Bellion accepts his challenge, the two battle with each other with the entire shadow as an audience. After fighting for a while, Beru kneels in front of Jin-Woo.

Sung Jin-Woo asks him why he wants to become the grand-marshall, to which Beru replies that he wants to stay by his side. Jin-Woo responds that he can stand on his left side with grand-marshall on his right.

Beru turns sad, thinking that Jin-Woo favors Bellion more than him, and accepts the offer reluctantly. Another shadow soldier also seeks Jin-Woo’s permission to challenge Bellion, but Jin-Woo commands him to stand behind.

Jin-Woo observes the shadow soldiers holding the marble of greed and doing something using it, so he asks Bellion about what they are doing. Bellion reveals that the soldiers are preparing a place for their master, Jin-Woo, to stay comfortably.

Jin-Woo asks Bellion if he misses the previous Shadow Monarch, Ashborn. Bellion reveals that he self-proclaimed himself as Ashborn’s first soldier when he obtained the power of death, and he trusts in his decisions.

In another scene, Jin-Woo spends time with his family while cooking for them. Jin-Woo’s mother suspects something terrible is about to happen from his behavior. Meanwhile, Jin-Woo thinks about letting the hunters know about the approaching eight armies.

Suddenly, Yoo Jin-Ho’s father shows up at the door after figuring out who saved him from the fatal disease. He asks Jin-Woo if he can do anything to thank him, so Jin-Woo asks him to look after his family if something happens to him.

After a few days, Jin-Woo tells Woo Jin-Chul that enemies are going to arrive from the eight colossal gates that have appeared around the world. Jin-Woo shows him a glimpse of how powerful the approaching armies are.

Jin-Woo asks him to gather representatives from every country. Jin-Woo joins the gathering, intending to disclose what’s going to happen in the next few days to the world.
