Sung Jinwoo will again put his strength and ability to the test as he’s about to face a C-class dungeon boss in Solo Leveling Episode 6, titled The Real Hunt Begins. After the previous episode’s major cliffhanger, the upcoming episode’s preview teased that Jinwoo is about to go on a deadly battle, and it remains to be seen if he can bring a much stronger monster down this time.
The Solo Leveling Episode 6 preview gives a glimpse of Hwang Dongsuk, who has betrayed and left Jinwoo and the D-rank hunter Yoo Jinho to fight the C-class dungeon boss alone in the previous episode. Set in a dark place, he has a furious look on his face after what he did to the two low-ranking hunters. The next still shows Jinhoo, who appears afraid and surprised, probably after seeing Jinwoo man up and bravely face the huge monster alone.
A solo still of Jinwoo is then revealed. Confident of the strength he has developed with his continuous training, he’s ready to take this fight to another level. However, the next preview features Jinwoo seemingly attacked with all the dust around him. For the last still, his eyes start to glow as he gets bloodily injured.

What to Expect from Solo Leveling Episode 6
Warning: Major Episode 5 spoilers ahead. Read at your own risk.
After going deep into the dungeon, Jinwoo and his group found a place full of mana ores in the previous episode. Dongsuk planned to harvest the mana so that they could use it in exchange for money. However, as he asked his team about the tools they needed, they pretended they left them in the car, making Dongsuk leave Jinwoo and Jinhoo behind to get the equipment back in their vehicle.
However, little did Jinwoo and Jinhoo know that Dongsuk and his people had an evil plan to trap them and use them as baits for the boss while they harvested the few mana they could. From there, Jinwoo will be given a new quest to complete in Solo Leveling Episode 6 as he faces and battles the gigantic spider.
You can read the synopsis below:
It seemed like they were progressing smoothly through the C-class dungeon, but things changed completely when they stepped into a space covered in mana ore where the boss was sleeping. In order to monopolize the mana ore, which can be made into a large sum of money, a member of the party betrays Shun and Kenta and locks them in a cave. What is the new ‘quest’ given to Shun after the deadly battle with the boss?
