Fights between hunters and monstrous enemies were never easy, but some battles stretched longer than expected, pushing even the strongest fighters to their limits. The longest battles were not just about brute strength but also about endurance, strategy, and the ability to adapt under extreme pressure.
Certain enemies refused to fall easily, prolonging conflicts that tested Sung Jin-Woo and other hunters beyond anything they had faced before. Some fights lasted days, while others felt never-ending due to the overwhelming power of the opponents involved.
Whether against a formidable boss monster, an army of enemies, or an opponent with near-infinite regeneration, these battles stood out due to their intensity. The length of these fights was often dictated by the sheer difficulty of dealing a finishing blow.

The Battle Against the Ant King
One of the longest and most gruelling fights took place on Jeju Island, where the Ant King proved to be an opponent unlike any other. The island had been overrun by magic beasts for years, but the hunters who ventured there to reclaim it never returned.
When a large-scale attack was launched to wipe out the ants, even some of the strongest hunters struggled against their monstrous leader. The Ant King was not just powerful but also unbelievably fast, making it difficult for even high-ranking hunters to keep up.
Sung Jin-Woo arrived after the battle had already begun, finding himself in a fight that lasted much longer than expected. The Ant King continuously adapted, forcing Jin-Woo to use a wide range of skills just to keep up.
His shadow soldiers played a crucial role in wearing down the enemy, but it was clear that the battle would not end quickly. The longer the fight went on, the more dangerous the Ant King became, pushing Jin-Woo to unleash his full strength.
It was a battle of endurance as much as power, proving that victory was never guaranteed, even for someone as strong as him.
The Prolonged Struggle Against the Monarchs
The war against the Monarchs was another series of battles that lasted far longer than expected, stretching over multiple encounters. These beings were not ordinary enemies—they possessed nearly limitless strength and an undying thirst for destruction.
Unlike previous fights where Jin-Woo could overpower his opponents within minutes, the Monarchs forced him into drawn-out confrontations where survival was just as important as winning.
One of the longest conflicts involved the battle against the Dragon Monarch, an opponent who rivalled Jin-Woo in raw power. The sheer scale of their fight made it impossible to end quickly, with both sides unleashing devastating attacks that shook the battlefield.
Unlike past fights where a single powerful move could end everything, this battle required patience, skill, and strategic thinking. The Dragon Monarch refused to go down easily, making the fight feel like it would never end.
Even with the full power of the Shadow Monarch, Jin-Woo found himself pushed to his limits. It was one of the few battles where victory was never immediate, proving that even the strongest hunter had his limits.
The Final Battle Against the Rulers and Monarchs
As the conflict between the Rulers and Monarchs escalated, Jin-Woo found himself caught in the middle of a war that had been raging for centuries.
Unlike previous fights that ended after a single encounter, this war stretched across multiple confrontations, with each side refusing to back down. Every battle against a Monarch was part of a larger struggle, making it one of the longest conflicts Jin-Woo ever faced.

Unlike previous fights where he had time to recover between encounters, this battle offered no such luxury.
It was a continuous struggle against some of the most powerful beings in existence, with each moment feeling more dangerous than the last.
The sheer length of the fight made it different from anything he had faced before, proving that true power was not just about strength but also about endurance. Even after defeating his enemies, the battle was far from over, leading to a decision that would change everything.
Some fights in Solo Leveling ended quickly, but the longest battles proved that true strength was measured by more than just power. These drawn-out conflicts showed that survival depended on endurance, patience, and the ability to adapt when faced with overwhelming odds.
Whether against monstrous foes, unrelenting Monarchs, or the strongest dragon to ever exist, Jin-Woo’s longest battles defined his journey as a hunter.
