Summary
-
Kamish's destructive potential exceeded Ant King and pose a serious threat to humanity.
-
Jeju Island would not have survived Kamish's outbreak, which led to widespread devastation.
-
Sung Jinwoo could have stopped Kamish and used its shadowmé and strategic brilliance.
Jeju Island Raid was an ambitious assignment for which the best Korean and Japanese hunters joined their hands to form a strike. Ant King, the secret Dungeon chief, turned out to be a nightmare for the squad when he killed several S-rankers on his own without breaking sweat.
Although Sung Jinwoo eventually defeated him and saved countless lives, it is remarkable that Ant King was barely a few days old. So one wonders if things would have turned out differently if it had been another prison head instead. Because S-Rank Dungeons are rare, the only second time people defeated a boss of similar rank when they fought Kamish in America. If he were to replace Ant King as the prison head, how would Jeju Island have shown?

Kamish's frighteningly destroying potential
Dungeon boss could cause unclear misery
- Webnovel debut: Chapter 135
- Mak: Dragon's Fear and Dragon's Breath
Kamish was the Dungeon chief of the first S-Rank port that created on the West Coast in America a few years before Sung Jinwoo's second awakening. It was the first brush of humanity with a threat to such a scale. The US government was proactive and humble enough to seek international help. The best hunters from all over the world were called to the region, and they put their lives on the line to save innocent people.
Despite their best efforts, Kamish's outbursts were so violent that even the best hunters were overwhelmed. The S-Rank Dungeon chief destroyed everything on his way and wasted the entire cities. The subsequent chaos led to the death of millions of civilians, along with over a hundred top rankers.
Kamish was responsible for the majority of injuries and death. He was not stopped until the current national level hunters went together to fight him. If it wasn't for them, Kamish would have put America in an existential crisis.
What if Kamish replaced Ant King like Jeju Island Dungeon Boss?
Jeju Island Raid Squad would not have survived Kamish's Rampage
Ant King was barely a few days old when he fought the Jeju Island Raid Party and killed almost the entire squad. He still needed time to develop and reach his full potential but had the accident to encounter someone as powerful as Sung Jinwoo. At the same time, Kamish had been around for centuries when he entered the human world after the dungeon. He probably understood his strengths and weaknesses quite well, so he was much more successful than Ant King when he released unclear misery on humanity.

Solo leveling: When surpassing Sung Jinwoo national hunters at national level
Sung Jinwoo surpasses the national hunters after breaking many strong warriors.
Therefore, if Kamish had been the secret Jeju Island Dungeon boss instead of Ant King, things would have proved completely different. Assuming he would also have left the marsh queen to take care of himself in the caves and directed the hunters outside, he could have released a carnage on the Japanese squad.
Even one of Goto Ryuji's potential would have been helpless in front of Kamish. He, along with the rest of the squad, would have been wiped out within a moment after walking on Jeju Island. The only scenario where anyone in the Japanese squad could have survived is if they noticed Kamish killed their comrades and ran for their lives and realized that they did not match Magic Beast.
At the same time, Kamish would not have had the patience to play with the Korean squad in Ant Queen's Lair as an Ant King. He is described as someone with an intense blood lust for humans, so he would have had to slaughter every hunter he met without ever giving them a chance to escape. When Sung Jinwoo had arrived in Jeju Island in this scenario, he would have only found dead bodies.
Would Jinwoo stop Kamish?
Only Jinwoo has the power to stop Kamish alone
Kamish was not only much more bloodthirsty than ant king, but he was also much stronger. The dragon was once a servant to the monarch for destruction, and the only time he fought against people, he succeeded in overwhelming an entire country despite managing over a hundred top rankers from all over the world.
I really got much stronger than before. But for some reason, I feel that something within me gets lost every time I get stronger.
Sung Jinwoo was able to defeat Ant King without suffering serious injuries. But it would be stupid to overlook the fact that the secret head of Jeju Island's S-Rank Gate had not yet reached its full potential. Jinwoo's performance was impressive, but fighting against Kamish would be much more challenging.
If Sung and Kamish were to fight, the latter would definitely have pushed the former to its physical boundaries. Perhaps Jinwoo's strength would have been the ability to restore his health after suffering serious injuries. This would eventually have become an important factor, as the national level hunters managed to defeat the S-Rank Dungeon manager because one of them was a healing hunter.
The battle between the two would have been much more intense, but Jinwoo's ability to call his shadow champion would also have been useful. In addition, he has repeatedly shown that he is a strategic mastermind that is quick to assess situations and design effective techniques to manage his enemies. While Kamish would have been a scary enemy that could cause serious injuries, he would eventually have been defeated by Jinwoo.
