After the double dungeon incident, Jinwoo gained the Shadow Monarch power. One of the Shadow Monarch’s abilities is shadow extraction, which allows him to extract shadows from any dead body and include them on his side. He can control these shadows. But he can’t extract shadows from spiritual body.
Shadow extraction is one of the most powerful and coolest powers in the world of Solo Leveling. Jinwoo can extract as many shadows as he wants; there is no limit. This power gives him an extra edge over any other character in the Solo Leveling anime.
Each shadow has its own special abilities and strengths, which are super helpful in fights. Some shadows are really strong, while others are really smart. Jinwoo’s shadows have lots of different powers, which help him become a strong hunter. At the end of the manhwa, Jinwoo became the most powerful being in the Solo Leveling verse.
