Solo Leveling’s latest chapter just showed us why it is called the best Manhwa of all time. Solo Leveling new prologue, chapter 18, just got released, showing us an intense battle between Sung Suho with the shadow monster, with its god tire art style.
Sung Suho is currently at level 99, and it will take time for him to reach 100 Level. The current stage boss doesn’t look that scary, but he is kind of strong though, Suho might have trouble fighting him. It seems like the apple doesn’t fall far from the tree. Jinwoo’s son is just like him.
Chapter 197 was filled with battle sequences and didn’t tell us much about the plot. Even being a side story, it is still pretty good. Suho is getting strong too fast, and soon he will reach level 100 and become an S-rank hunter. Before all that happens, let’s quickly have a recap of Chapter 197 and the release date of Solo Leveling Chapter 198 (Side Story 19.
Solo Leveling Chapter 197 (Side story 18) Recap
The chapter starts in the middle of the fight between Sung Suho and the shadow monster (an ant with wings). For some reason, the shadow monster was crying while fighting Suho. Suho was also confused seeing that. After Suho defeats the shadow monster, he realizes that the shadow monster is hesitating and leaving itself with a ton of opening instead of attacking, but because of that, he is able to defeat it.
After defeating the shadow monster, a gate opened. Suho entered the gate thinking that he would finally be able to go back home, but instead of going back home, he was teleported to another stage. There were tons of monsters present. Suho was still at level 99. He started defeating every monster.
As he was fighting the monsters on the ground, a few of the monsters started attacking him from mid-air by flying on a dragon. Suho attacked one of the monsters that were flying on the dragon to steal his dragon. As he flew with the dragon, he saw a huge monster with a black knight standing on it. As the knight was showing off his power by explaining about him, Suho attacked him in the middle of his speech without any trouble.
After he defeats the black knight, a shadow dragon hits him with a sonic wave. The wave was so strong that Suho was pushed deep into the ground. Suho then saw a monster in mid-air. To him, it seems like the stage boss. The three shadow dragons kept attacking Suho, so he instantly defeated all of them. To clear up the stage, Suho needs to defeat the stage boss, so he decides to get rid of him first.
When Suho reached the stage boss, the stage boss attacked Suho with an energy boom, but Suho dodged it easily. The energy boom destroyed the whole mountain in an instant. Suho got shocked seeing that. Suho knew it wouldn’t be easy to defeat him.
