Solo Leveling Episode 5 Recap
Face-to-face with a Steel-Jawed Lycan, Sung fights tooth and nail to stay alive and slay the beast. Eventually, he succeeds and is rewarded with a “Level-Up” that improves his physical attributes. Unfortunately, the death of the Lycan attracts the attention of its pack, who swarm Sung in full force.
With his increased might, Sung slays the pack of Lycans and attempts to exit the dungeon. However, he realizes too late that he’s fallen into a trap and finds himself facing off against a giant, poisonous serpent. In classic anime-protagonist fashion, Sung finds the will to persevere and triumph by remembering his vow to become stronger and kills the snake, receiving a gland of its venom as a reward.
As all this is happening, Sung’s friend Lee Joohee is called on to help slay a stone elemental that broke free from a nearby dungeon. Still traumatized by the disastrous expedition that nearly cost her and Sung their lives, Joohee has trouble healing her fellow Hunters, who are quickly overwhelmed. Fortunately for them, Sung emerges from the dungeon and finishes off the elemental, revealing his newfound strength to Joohee and the assembled crowd.
