Solo Leveling Ragnarok, Chapter 55

Solo Leveling Ragnarok Chapter 55 Summary

Suho’s Skill Upgrade: Strike & Iron Body Technique

In this chapter, Sung Suho experiences a major evolution in his abilities. His Strike skill (sometimes called “Smash”) is enhanced: it no longer just boosts attack power but now strengthens his physical body overall. This upgrade comes at the cost of higher mana. Alongside this, the Iron Body Technique training (aka Spiritual Body Manifestation) becomes active—parts of his body that are reinforced gain both attack and defense bonuses. This marks a turning point in Suho’s combat capability.

Ammut’s Test & Suho Accepted as Disciple

Ammut puts Suho through a brutal test: Suho punches Ammut with his newly evolved Strike, creating a massive shockwave. Ammut, although wounded, steps back and recognizes Suho’s potential. He officially accepts Suho as his disciple, ending Ammut’s acceptance of other challengers. This moment solidifies Suho’s emerging strength and marks a milestone in his growth.

Dimensional Magic Circles & Pyramid Collapse

As part of the training’s climax, a giant magic circle spreads from Ammut’s command, warping the dimensional walls around the pyramid. Beru and Esil race to protect Suho during this dangerous display. The pyramid—centerpiece of the training ritual—begins to sink into red quicksand or desert sands, visually collapsing into the earth as chaos erupts around them. Hunters scramble to escape.

Suho’s Reflection & Lineage Reveal

Amid the danger, Suho discovers that Ammut had suspected his identity early on: he’s a descendant of the Shadow Monarch’s bloodline. Ammut reveals that much of his training system (including the Iron Body art) was prepared with Suho in mind—though initially as a test or scheme by Kandiaru. Despite the manipulation, Suho accepts the path and commits to continue learning under Ammut’s tutoring.

Aftermath & Uncertainty

After the pyramid’s collapse, many hunters flee with fear. Suho’s status immediately after the disaster is not fully clear. Characters like Rio Singh worry about Suho’s safety, but there’s a sense of hope that with his enhanced abilities, he escaped. This ending leaves readers hanging: is his body okay? Will his power changes bring new allies or draw new enemies?
