The Jeju Island Raid Arc finally kicked off in the latest episode of Solo Leveling Season 2 -Arise from the Shadow-. Although the battle of the S-Rank warriors against the relentless ant army appeared to be progressing well at first, their situation became more horrific in Jeju Island when a humanoid ant-like monster appeared to brutally eliminate one of them, ending Episode 10 with a gory cliffhanger.
The official website of Solo Leveling has released preview stills, official synopsis, and staff information for the eleventh episode of Season 2 (Episode 23 overall), which is titled It’s Going to Get Even More Intense. The episode will focus on the S-Rank hunters' battle against Beru, the Ant King, and as the episode title suggests, we can expect to see more intensity, and of course, more gore. None of the preview stills show the presence of Sung Jin-woo, so it's likely that we won't see him much in action in the next episode, but with how desperate the battle is getting, it looks like he will eventually have to get involved.

As the battle progresses smoothly for the S-rank hunters, a human-sized, winged ant-like monster covered entirely in black exoskeleton appears before them. The hunters become the hunted. Confronted with an unprecedentedly powerful force, they are forced into a desperate struggle. Everything has led to this moment—the final battle, fought with every ounce of strength, is drawing to a close.

What is Solo Leveling Season 2 about?

Crunchyroll shared a description for Solo Leveling Season 2:
It's been over ten years since gates that lead to another dimension have begun appearing across the world. The battles between the magic beasts inhabiting the dungeons through the gates and the human hunters who have awakened the abilities to fight them show no signs of ending. Ordinarily, a hunter's abilities do not change upon awakening, with their rank never increasing. However, the low-ranked Sung Jin-woo, known as 'The Weakest Hunter of All Mankind,' gained the ability to level up through battle during a raid on a double dungeon. Having completed a job-change quest that earned him the job 'Shadow Monarch' and command over an army of shadows, Jin-woo heads into battle seeking the ingredients for the Elixir of Life to save his sick mother.
