However, the Rulers themselves begged Ashborn to join them to win the war. He joined the Monarchs to combat the Rulers and came to be called the Shadow Monarch.Īshborn was so powerful that the Monarchs, fearing his power, betrayed him, and left him to die at the Rulers’ hands. Inside of him was sealed a powerful and terrifying power capable of ending everything, i.e., the power of death.Īfter waking up, he discarded any remains of his previous life, tearing off his wings and forging a mighty armor out of the surrounding shadows and making a brand new army of Shadow Soldiers. However, he was killed for staying loyal to his creator and opposing the Rulers who wanted to destroy the Absolute Being for orchestrating the never-ending war between them and the Monarchs.Īfter ‘dying’, he realized that the Absolute Being had planted a failsafe inside of him, for when everything went wrong. AshbornĪshborn was the Greatest Fragment of Brilliant Light created by the Absolute Being. He is the only character in the series that Jin-Woo, i.e., the main character, could not kill until the very end, and therefore, he definitely deserves the 4th position on this list. In fact, all eight Rulers were needed to defeat him. It was stated that he could even deal with the Shadow Monarch easily.Īntares came close to killing Jin-Woo once but was stopped by the Rulers. Just a simple swipe of his claw led to more than half of Canada and several high-ranked hunters getting destroyed. Just like Ashborn, his power was so immense that he could not find a human host to enter Earth, due to this, he was the last one to arrive with his army of destruction through the gate in Canada. He was the final antagonist of Solo Leveling.

He was the strongest Monarch who invaded Earth along with others to wage war against Rulers. AntaresĪntares was the Dragon Emperor and the Monarch of Destruction. READ: What is a Monarch in Solo Leveling? Is Sung Jin-Woo a Monarch? 4.
