Ever since becoming the Player of the System, Sung Jinwoo has gathered several shadows in a very short span. These shadows have proven to be extremely invaluable to his success as a Hunter. In the second season of Solo Leveling, Jinwoo acquires Beru, the fallen ant king. Like all shadows, Beru is stronger than his living version. On top of that, he has the potential to grow stronger.
But even if Beru stays at the same level, he can easily take down most S-rank hunters without any problems. Since there is no lack of strong characters, one can’t help but wonder what Beru’s ceiling is like. With that in mind, here are the strongest Hunters that Beru can defeat on his own.

Choi Jong-In
Choi Jong-In is widely considered to be the strongest hunter in Korea. He also serves as the guild master of the Hunters Guild. Choi Jong-In and his guild have been responsible for dealing with countless threats. As a result, his fame has skyrocketed, and people all over the country adore him.
Choi Jong-In specializes in fire magic. He can unleash potent fire attacks that incinerate the target in seconds. Since the scale of his attacks is so enormous, he cannot go all out if his allies stand close to him. At the same time, he is ill-equipped for close-range combat. Needless to say, Choi Jong-In is truly a remarkable fighter, but he cannot compete with someone like Beru.

Yuri Orloff
Yuri Orloff is the strongest hunter from Russia. He prides himself on barrier techniques, and he strongly believes that no one else comes close to him. Despite his arrogance, Yuri is actually a competent fighter, as people across the world know about him. In fact, he was approached by the Japanese government when an S-rank gate opened up in the country.
When the creatures started to emerge from the gate, Yuri’s barriers were able to stop them for a few seconds, but soon it became clear that he was out of his depth, proving that he is not entirely infallible. If he got in the same room as Beru, the shadow would have absolutely no problems decimating him and sending him to an early grave.

Hwang Dongsoo
Hwang Dongsoo is a Korean S-rank hunter. He is an extremely arrogant individual who genuinely believes that he is a cut above the rest. Hwang Dongsoo was so blinded by arrogance that he was confident that Jinwoo didn’t pose a threat to him. But he wasn’t all talk either. As an S-rank hunter, he has a great deal of physical strength.
However, he is nowhere close to being the strongest hunter in Korea. Considering Beru was able to defeat the strongest Japanese hunters, he will demolish Hwang Dongsoo in minutes. The best outcome that the hunter can expect is a quick and painless death.

Cha Hae-In
Cha Hae-In is one of the youngest S-rank hunters in the world. She is renowned for her incredible speed, which allows her to blitz opponents. Her blistering pace allows for last-minute dodges of otherwise lethal attacks.
Cha Hae-In combines her speed with elegant swordplay to bypass her enemies’ defenses and deal a critical blow to them. Despite her accomplishments, she is nowhere near Beru’s level, as evidenced by her performance during the Jeju Island raid. In the fight, Cha Hae-In suffered multiple injuries, leaving her on the cusp of death. It’s safe to say, without Jinwoo’s timely intervention, she would not have survived.
2
Go Gunhee
Go Gunhee is the chairman of the Korean Hunters Association. He was one of the first people to ever reach S-rank, but unfortunately he could not stay on the field for too long because of his deteriorating health. Eventually, he decided to retire, after which he assumed the position of chairman.
While Go Gunhee didn’t get a proper opportunity to show off, it is highly likely that he could take on most S-rank hunters. In fact, he could have fought national-level hunters if his body could have withstood the power of the Rulers. But in his current state, he cannot fight Beru. If he does, the shadow would get rid of him in minutes.
1
Goto Ryuji
Goto Ryuji was the strongest S-rank Japanese hunter. He debuted in the second season of the anime as the leader of the Japanese hunters. Going to Ryuji was a cunning and dangerous person who had several tricks up his sleeve. During the sparring session between the Japanese and Korean hunters, he was the only one who was completely unbothered, as he knew the true extent of his strength.
Upon making landfall on Jeju Island, Goto Ryuji immediately got down to work and began slaughtering the ants, and in a short span he proved that none of the Korean hunters could match him. However, he could not do anything against Beru, who beheaded the hunter before he could even ready himself.
