Last week's episode of Solo Leveling Season 2 - Arise from the Shadow- focused on the S-Rank Hunters' intense battle against the Ant Queen and her relentless army of powerful ants. The episode showcased the incredible abilities and teamwork of the Hunters as they fight the ant army. Though they managed to slay the Ant Queen, largely thanks to a magic-boosted Cha Hae-in, a more powerful threat arrived inside the Jeju Island's lair, and it looked like they were not strong enough to defend themselves. That threat is Beru, the Ant King, a humanoid ant creature, and it seemed that none of the S-Rank Hunters can stop him.
The official website of Solo Leveling has released preview stills, official synopsis, and staff information for the twelfth episode of Season 2 (Episode 24 overall), which is titled Are You the King of Humans. The episode will focus on Sung Jin-woo's timely arrival to face off Beru. The synopsis reveals that he will use potions to heal the S-Rank hunters, but it looks like Cha Hae-in will remain unconscious after being injured by the Ant King.

What is Solo Leveling Season 2 about?
Solo Leveling is based on the South Korean portal fantasy web novel series written by Chugong and illustrated by DUBU, which launched on Webtoon services in March 2018 and ended in December 2021. The manhwa and original novel series is being published by Yen Press in English, and the Japanese version is published by Kadokawa under the title Ore Dake Level-Up na Ken (I'm the Only One Who Has Leveled Up).
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.
