Formerly known as the Greatest Fragment of Brilliant Light, Ashborn was renowned as the Strongest Ruler. His unwavering loyalty to the Absolute Being, despite uncovering the truth of his existence, led to him acquiring the powers of the Shadow Monarch. This ability allowed him to rule over the dead, following the demise of the Absolute Being by the other Rulers. Tired of the ceaseless conflict between the Monarchs and the Rulers, Ashborn chose to pass on his powers to Jin-Woo, hoping that he would bring an end to the perpetual war.

The Menacing Antares

Antares, also known as the Dragon King, emerges as the primary antagonist towards the conclusion of the Solo Leveling manhwa. As the Monarch of Destruction, he stands as the eldest and most powerful Monarch in the story.

In his conflict with Sung Jin-Woo, Antares displays an array of abilities and powers that initially overpower his adversary. His sole purpose in the narrative is to bring death and destruction, an apt motivation for any antagonist.

The Formidable Thomas Andre

Thomas Andre, the strongest Nation Level Hunter, is undeniably one of the most significant characters in Solo Leveling. Despite his initial portrayal as an arrogant and proud individual, Andre transforms into a beloved figure following his battle against Jin-Woo.

He stands as the only human capable of inflicting damage on the Beast Monarch during their confrontation, proving himself worthy of his title as a Nation Level Hunter.
