Solo leveling has an immersive world where a story occurs eons before Jinwoo’s timeline, where two forces, Rulers and Monarchs, fight against each other for the sheer entertainment of the Absolute Being of their world.
This article will rank the nine monarchs based on their strengths, and battle prowess, ranging from truth-inducing to poison, shooting ice, and spewing fire.
10. Legia

Legia was the King of Giants and the Monarch of the Beginning. He was the most deceptive among the monarchs, so much so that he almost deceived Jinwoo.
He was the only monarch captured by the rulers where. His mana was drained for the humans. He became more weak later on.
Before his detainment, he possessed abilities like Spiritual body manifestation and Truth inducement, in which he formed a Pledge of trust, making the other party incapable of lying.
9. Tarnak

Tarnak was the King of Monstrous Humanoids and the Monarch of the Iron Body. He considered humans so inferior that he had contempt for Jinwoo being the next Shadow Monarch just because he was a human.
Like Yogumunt, he used rational reasoning and acknowledged that he wasn’t strong enough to take down JinWoo without the help of Antares.
He possessed abilities like iron body technique, telepathy, spiritual body manifestation, etc.
8. Rakan

Rakan was the King of Beasts and the Monarch of Fangs. He was a beast fueled by bloodlust like Querehsha; however, he was a coward under his mask of arrogance and big muscles.
Rakan obeyed stronger monarchs like Antares like a puppy and was the first to leave the battlefield; he was a disloyal monarch.
He possessed abilities like Telekinesis, Regeneration, Spiritual Body manifestation, etc.
7. Querehsha

Querehsha was the Queen of insects and the Monarch of plagues. Her pride overflowed to the extent that she didn’t consider Jinwoo a formidable foe and died at his hands.
She was a sadistic monarch and enjoyed killing for the thrill of it. She possessed abilities like Venom Inducement, which allowed her to secrete poison like a snake; being the Queen of insects, she used necromancy by bringing the dead back to life using her maggots and insects.
6. Yogumunt

Yogumunt was the King of Demonic Specters and the Monarch of Transfiguration. He looked like the devil, with gleaming red eyes and two metallic horn-like features protruding from his upper back.
Although he had an air of arrogance, he respected formidable opponents like Jinwoo. He possessed abilities such as Spiritual body manifestation, Portal creation to transport his army, and levitation, which allowed him to float like a bubble and attack his foes.
5. Sillad

Sillad was the King of Snow Folk and the Monarch of Frost. He resembled an elf, and his demeanor was as cold as his icy abilities. He remained enigmatic during battle, avoiding confrontation while the other Monarhs fought head-on.
He uses ice magic and can create fierce icy storms. His Ice breath attack allows him to freeze anything in his path. His other abilities include spiritual body manifestation and sleep inducement.
4. Baran

Baran was the King of Demons and Monarch of White Flames. He was a zealous fighter and would fight against all odds as seen by his duel with Ashborn, upon Antares’s command.
Jinwoo had fought a weaker version of Baran, the final boss of the demon castle, where his strength was displayed.
Baran could summon his hellish army through portals. Like Antares, who shot fire from his mouth, Baran could spit lightning and take out his foes.
3. Ashborn

Ashborn, the original shadow monarch and the King of the Shadows, was one of the strongest monarchs and was the greatest fragment of brilliant light.
Ashborn stood apart from the other monarchs and rulers because he was a peace lover. Fed up with their eon-long fight, he sought a human vessel to end the war.
He has a plethora of abilities, like extracting the shadows from corpses, turning them into his army using shadow extraction, and manipulating darkness using Umbrakinesis. He even possesses rulers authority, monarch domain, shadow preservation, etc.
2. Antares

Antares, the Monarch of destruction, wields the title of the King of Dragons, and he was the strongest among the nine monarchs and the main antagonist. As the title suggests, he was the master of chaos and despair.
Jinwoo had to kill him twice, so you can picture Antares’s might. He possesses many skills like the Breath of Destruction, where he could shoot fire from his mouth and burn several S-rank hunters to ash, Shapeshifting, which helped in stealth, and other skills like Dragons fear, fire magic, etc.
1. Sung Jinwoo

Sung Jinwoo tops the list as the most formidable monarch, coming second to the absolute being. He started from the bottom, from being the weakest E-rank hunter to the strongest in his universe.
Jinwoo gained these powers once he became the original Shadow Monarch’s successor by leveling up solo in the system designed by the architect.
Apart from the powers he inherited from Ashborn, he is an S rank hunter who developed skills like stealth, which lets him erase his physical presence; Bloodlust intimidates his foes and reduces their stats by 50%, and other abilities like dagger rush, dragons fear, quicksilver, etc.
