Chapter 42 of Solo Leveling Ragnarok begins with a tense and suspenseful scene. Suho , the protagonist, enters the Stardust laboratory, where a fierce battle is already underway. The atmosphere is heavy, and the gazes of the hunters present turn to him, as if time has stopped. Suho's presence is so powerful that even enemies hesitate, intimidated by his overwhelming aura.
Beru springs into action : Meanwhile, Beru, Suho's faithful servant, reads Secretary Kim's memoirs and quickly heads to the scene of the conflict. The situation is critical: around thirty hunters from the Reaper's Guild are facing ten hostages. The tension is palpable, and the silence is broken only by the desperate screams of Park Jongcheol , who, even without arms and legs, tries to command his subordinates.

Darkness as an ally : Suho, however, is undaunted. With a cold, calculating gaze, he activates the Power of the Ruler , turning off the lights in the room one after the other. The darkness becomes his ally, as the enemy hunters struggle to adapt to their lack of vision. Suho , armed with his crow mask, moves like a shadow, striking down his opponents with deadly precision. Five hunters fall in moments, and panic begins to spread among the enemy ranks.

Shadow Spider: Arachne!: But the real spectacle begins when Suho summons the Tomb Spider Arachne , a colossal creature that emerges from the shadows. With her monstrous body and black webs, Arachne transforms the place into a veritable nest of terror. Her Web Spectacle turns the hunters against each other, like puppets under the spider's control. Chaos ensues, and screams of despair echo throughout the laboratory.
While Arachne dominates the battlefield, Suho tends to a wounded child, demonstrating a more human side amidst the chaos. However, his fury is directed at Park Jongcheol, who suffers at the hands of Beru. The scene is brutal and satisfying, with Beru assuring the enemy that he will not die easily.
Just when it seems the situation is under control, reinforcements from the Reaper's Guild arrive. The battle seems to become even more unequal, but Suho doesn't back down. At a crucial moment, he receives the spiritual power of Gray, the Beast King, Monarch of the Fang . His hair turns silver, and a bestial energy emanates from his body, shocking everyone around.
With his new transformation, Suho charges at his enemies with uncontrollable fury. His movements are swift and lethal, and the presence of the Raven Beast King is felt in every blow. The battle reaches its climax, with Suho and Arachne completely dominating the field, while the Reaper Guild hunters are reduced to mere prey.
