Solo Leveling: High Orcs Explained

Sung Jinwoo the most powerful hunter in Korea. But he’s just an E-Rank hunter in others eyes. He joins Choi Jong-In’s guild and he becomes a miner. Because he owns the strength of a S-Rank strength. He does a good job as a miner. Son Kihoon hears Sung Jinwoo’s rumor. He comes to the mining team to recruit the E-Rank hunter in Solo Leveling season 2 episode 5.

High Orcs

Son Kihoon plans to take his team to go to raid an A-Rank dungeon. He needs a worker who can carry luggage for them. So he chooses Sung Jinwoo. Sung Jinwoo’s colleagues go against it because they know it’s a dangerous job. But the brave man accepts the job. Because he wants to study how to raid a A-Rank dungeon.

Everything looks perfect after Sung Jinwoo walked into the dungeon with the team. Because the team owns many A-Rank hunters. They’re tankers, healers and mages. The healer notes that Sung Jinwoo is a little nervous. She comforts him that the team will protect him. But High Orcs appear after the hunters killed some jackals. The jackals are actually baits who were sent by the High Orcs.

Son Kihoon’s Team Is Almost Wiped Out by High Orcs

There’re may scary monsters in the world of Solo Leveling. You don’t have to worry about it if your teammates are A-Rank. But I suggest you flee if you encounter High Orcs. They have strong body and red skin. Their faces look scary. Their teeth are exposed and they have tattoos on their faces. They’re very smart and they know how to tempt hunters.

Son Kihoon takes his team to raid the A-Rank dungeon. He doesn’t expect that he will encounter High Orcs. High Orcs have good intelligence. They know they should ignore the tanker when the tanker uses his ability for making them only attack him. They attack the mages and healers instead. The tanker’s ability usually works for most of the magic beasts in the dungeons. The strategy is good. But it doesn’t work for High Orcs.

High Orcs own the strength of an A-Rank hunter. One of them almost runs Son Kihoon’s shield after he cast a javelin to the team leader. Son Kihoon and his teammates fall into a hard battle. Because the magic beasts have very high defense. They know to attack the healer when the healer heals the fighter. It seems that the only one who can hurt them are the mages. But the mages cannot use their spells well when High Orcs are close to them.

Sung Jinwoo has concealed his real powerful. He acted as a weak E-Rank hunters when the team dealt with the jackals. He knows the team will be wiped out if he doesn’t do something. He uses his stealthy ability so that the teammates don’t know what he does. He saves the healer before she’s killed by the High Orc. He thinks what he did is perfect. But he doesn’t know the mage saw what he did. She doesn’t report him.

High Orcs Can Speak Human Language

Most of the magic beasts in dungeons cannot speak. But High Orcs are special. They can communicate with hunters. Son Kihoon kills High Orcs with his teammates. He mistakes that they defeated the magic beasts. But they don’t know Sung Jinwoo helped them. Son Kihoon wants to continue to raid the dungeon after the victory. Because he plans to get promoted. But the teammates go against it.

Son Kihoon takes the advice and he returns to the gate with the team. But the gate is protected by the enchantment. They cannot leave the dungeon through the gate. The mages in the team volunteer to resolve the enchantment. But they’re cursed by the enchantment. A group of High Orcs show up behind the hunters. The team leader tells Son Kihoon that the shaman Kargalgan wants to see him.

The High Orcs are actually controlled by Kargalgan. The high orc can speak because of Kargalgan’s spell. Son Kihoon and his team members know they will be killed if they go to see the orc chief. They wish Sung Jinwoo to survive. It reminds Sung Jinwoo the scene that he was in the double dungeon. The difference is that his teammates abandoned him. It indicates that Son Kihoon and his team are good persons. Choi Jong-In trained them well.

What Will Kargalgan Do to the Hunters?

Kargalgan is a high orc. He’s cruel and he won’t forgive the hunters who raided his dungeon. He’s going to kill them. But he wants to play with them before he ends their lives. But Sung Jinwoo ruins his plan and he saves the team in episode 6.
