Christopher Reed was the chosen host of a powerful Ruler, an ancient race of angelic humanoids who are sworn enemies of the Monarchs. As one of the five National Level Hunters, he was among the most formidable hunters in the world. However, the full extent of his abilities was never revealed in the manhwa, as he met his end in an off-screen battle against three Monarchs.

In terms of revealed abilities, Christopher Reed possessed two: Ruler's Authority and Spiritual Body Manifestation.

What happened to Christopher Reed in Solo Leveling?

Christopher's Authority granted him the power to manipulate and manipulate objects through telekinesis. Additionally, his Spiritual Body Manifestation ability enabled him to take on the form of a towering one-eyed giant with fiery light orange hair. The flames produced by this manifestation were so intense that it took 14 S-Rank Hunters to extinguish them.

In Solo Leveling, Christopher Reed met his demise at the hands of three monarchs. Norma paid him a visit after an S-Rank Gate materialized in Maryland, warning him of his impending fate which she had foreseen. Despite his initial skepticism, Christopher eventually heeded Norma's advice and took Go Gunhee's phone number, keeping the option open to seek help from Sung Jinwoo.

A few days following Norma's cautionary advice, Christopher awoke in the middle of the night to an unsettling silence that enveloped his home. Sensing danger, he braced himself for a confrontation. Suddenly, three Monarchs materialized around him.

Christopher Reed was unable to reach Go Gunhee for backup, leaving him to confront the Monarchs with no knowledge of their identity or intentions. Despite activating his Spiritual Body Manifestation in an attempt to defeat the three Monarchs, his efforts were in vain as he was the sole casualty in the battle. His mutilated body was later discovered in the ruins of his mansion.

Editor's P/S

As a Gen Z netizen, I'm thrilled about the Solo Leveling anime and can't wait to see Christopher Reed's powers animated. The manhwa left us with so many questions about his abilities, and I'm excited to finally see them revealed. I'm also curious about how the anime will handle his death, which was a major turning point in the story.

I think Christopher Reed is a fascinating character because he's so powerful, yet he still has a tragic backstory. He was chosen by a Ruler, which is a rare and powerful honor, but he was also killed by three Monarchs. I'm interested to learn more about his relationship with the Rulers and the Monarchs, and how he came to be involved in their conflict. Overall, I'm really looking forward to seeing Christopher Reed's story unfold in the Solo Leveling anime.
