Sung Jinwoo is finally ready to cure his mother of her illness in Solo Leveling Season 2 -Arise From The Shadow- episode 21, but he has some lingering doubts. Jinwoo must also prepare for one of the most impactful moments in Solo Leveling, and Final Weapon has everything you need to know before the episode 21 premiere.
In Solo Leveling episode 20, Jinwoo befriended the demon knight Esil Radiru in the Demon King’s Castle. Although the encounter gave Jinwoo reason to believe he could learn more about the “System,” Esil’s voice and eyes glitched out when she tried to tell him about the war of the demon realm. Meanwhile, a winged ant from Jeju Island made its way to Japan, prompting the Hunter’s Association to launch a joint operation with Japan for a fourth raid.
With the help of Esil, Jinwoo was able to reach the 100th floor and confront Demon Monarch Baran and his dragon, Kaisellin. The fight was quite a challenge, since Baran could manage attacks from Jinwoo and his shadows, Tusk and Igris. Although it looked like his defeat was imminent, Jinwoo used his strength to dismember and finish off Baran, thanks to Esil. With his goal complete, all eyes turn back to the real world and the evolving situation at Jeju Island.

What to Expect in Episode 21
After finally completing the Demon King’s Castle, Jinwoo obtains the Elixir of Life in episode 21 and heads to the hospital to finally cure his mother of the Eternal Slumber disease. However, he feels uneasy, believing he’s stepped into a realm he was never meant to enter.
The Hunter’s Association, led by Chairman Go, urge Jinwoo to participate in the raid to reclaim Jeju Island. This is a rare opportunity to prove himself as the 10th S-Rank hunter and level-up significantly. Despite that, images of his mother and sister, Jinah, continue to take up his thoughts.
