Solo Leveling Chapter 116: Release Date, Discussion, Read Online

Season 2 of the Solo Leveling manhwa came out recently, with both chapter 111 and 112 releasing simultaneously.

The manhwa is moving forward with the Necromancer arc from the light novel.

For those of you who don’t know much about it, without spoiling much for you guys, let me just say that we will finally get to know more about Sung Jin-Woo’s mysterious abilities and the ‘system’ which helps the hunter do so.

Pretty cool, right? Trust me; you have no idea! In chapters 111 and 112, we saw that Hunter Woo is still as strong as ever and will be moving forward with his guild.

In chapter 113 and 114, we saw Hunter Cha defeating Igris to earn her entry into Jin-Woo’s guild, and her getting defeated by Beru. Now it’s time to discuss what would happen in Solo Leveling 116.

1. Chapter 116 Raw Scans

The raw scans for chapter 116 of Solo Leveling webtoon have been leaked and the rough translation goes like this:

The chapter starts with a couple of hunters from the Knights guild talking with each other, followed by Sung Jin-Woo talking to his ‘friend’ back at the Ahjin guild headquarters.

The Knight guild hunters also arrive at the headquarters and talk to Jin-Woo about a massive A-ranked gate. While I do not understand Korean, it seems like they have indeed reached a deal!

The scene then shifts to the scene where the gate appeared, the Knight guild members are waiting for Jin-Woo and the scene shifts again!!!

Yet another gate has opened and that too in the middle of a school. An orc hand appears out of the gate and crushes the skull of a student standing there – my guess is that this is the school where Jin-Woo’s sister goes.

3. Chapter 116 Predictions & Speculation

Solo Leveling season 2 began with the Necromancer arc from the light novel.

It’s a light novel manhwa, so there is an anticipation that it will showcase the storyline of National-Level Hunters and the true identity of the ‘system.’

As for the next chapter, there are a couple of things that could happen or be revealed. Let’s begin the discussion!

I. Will Cha Hae-In join the guild?

Now that Hunter Cha has put forward her feelings for Jin-Woo, he knows that she’s not here on the orders of her former guild master or Hunter Association’s chairman.

In addition to this, Hunter Cha has also shown her ability as S-ranked Hunter by defeating Igris and standing up to Beru.

If you ask me, no one is a better fit to be the vice-President of Jin-Woo’s guild other than Hunter Cha Hae-In.

II. What did the lady saw in Woo?

We are yet to understand what the lady saw that made her so fearful. She likely saw the system’s true identity – the mysterious Shadow Monarch, Ashborn.

4. Chapter 116 Release Date

Chapter 116 of the Solo Leveling manhwa webtoon’s season 2 has been available to stream for free since Thursday, Sep 10, 2020.

In the next chapter, we will see more on Hunter Cha Hae-in and the prophecy she heard about Sung Jin-Woo.

5. Is Solo Leveling on a Break?

Solo Leveling manhwa went on a long break after its first season ended with chapter 110, and Season 2 came back with Chapters 111 and 112 on August 1, 2020.

Seeing how chapter 114 came right on time makes it unlikely that the webtoon will go on a break any soon.

6. Chapter 115 Recap

The chapter starts with US Guild executive and lady Selma reporting the guild master Andre about their failure in luring Sung Jin-Woo.

She mentions his innate strength, which terrified her to the very core.

Andre and his guild member then talk about the National level Hunters and their famed fight with a dragon Kamish – Andre then shows him that they are currently researching a mysterious relic taken out of that very dragon’s carcasses.

Back in Seoul, we see Sung Jin-Woo is having some fun quality time with his sister, and they both decide the guild’s name to be “Ahjin Guild.”

7. About Solo Leveling

Solo Leveling is a South Korean novel written by Chu-Gong; it was serialized in Papyrus and later in KakaoPage and concluded with 14 volumes and 270 chapters.

Since a portal connecting our world to a world full of monsters and creatures of all kinds appeared, some people have acquired powers and the ability to hunt them: they are called hunters.

Sung Jin-Woo is the weakest of the rank E hunters and barely stronger than a normal human.

One day, he and other hunters find themselves trapped in an extremely dangerous dungeon, and only a few of them survive and manage to escape.

Sung Jin-Woo himself hardly survives and is the only one who completes all the trials in this dungeon. Thus, he begins his journey of becoming the most powerful hunter!
