Insights on The Demon King’s Longsword
The Blade of the Monarch of White Flames
The Demon King’s Longsword, which Jinwoo obtained as part of Baran’s loot, is an exceptionally powerful melee weapon that grants a +350 Attack bonus. It incorporates a unique “Storm of the White Flames”feature that generates a lightning storm upon being swung. This ability enables Jinwoo to dispatch throngs of berserk ants, facilitating the escape of the Korean S-Rank strike team on Jeju Island. The sword’s design mirrors its fearsome name—a light-colored blade adorned with a prominent black tendril along its center.
Interestingly, the appearance of the Demon King’s Longsword adapts to reflect its user’s identity. For example, it was initially a light blue blade with a yellowish guard and grey hilt while wielded by Baran. In Jinwoo’s possession, the sword remains light blue (for a period), with variations to the guard and hilt turning completely black. Ultimately, Jinwoo relinquishes the sword to Igris, who uses it primarily, and it later becomes the main weapon of Cha Hae In decades later.
In the Solo Leveling: ARISE mobile game, the Demon King’s Longsword is classified as a SSR item and features a distinct narrative. The sword is said to contain a “thunder spirit”named Grouse and exhibits a “cursed”characteristic, draining the wielder’s life force to enhance its powers. This narrative rich in lore suggests that the sword emerged from an extensive battle between Monarchs and Rulers, a tumultuous era when allegiances shifted and betrayals were common, culminating in powerful electric manifestations from Grouse’s anger. Baran wielded this sword and commanded exceptional power amidst the ensuing chaos.
Comparative Analysis with Jinwoo’s Other Weapons
The Apex of Jinwoo’s Arsenal
As the conclusion of Solo Leveling Season 2 approaches, the Demon King’s Longsword emerges as Jinwoo’s premier weapon, classified as an S-Rank sword. Within the Solo Leveling manhwa, it is depicted as “infused with the power of the Demon Lord,”capable of conjuring “a storm of endless lightning.”This remarkable +350 Attack rating positions it well above Jinwoo’s Demon King’s Daggers, which each provide a +220 Attack bonus.
Although the Demon King’s Longsword is undoubtedly Jinwoo’s strongest weapon, he tends to favor his daggers. Therefore, while it surpasses all other weapons at the end of the Jeju Island Raid Arc, it may not always be at the forefront of his combat strategy, especially considering the even mightier foes he will soon encounter, promising the potential for even better loot.
