Solo Leveling: Ragnarok has returned from a 10-month hiatus with the release of episodes 69–71 on South Korean platform KakaoPage. The chapters arrived a day earlier than the previously announced November 5 date, and new episodes are scheduled to come out every Wednesday from now on.
The new installments bring Cha Haein back into the story. She has been trapped in the Land of the Snowfolk for years, where she took on a caring role for Ice Elf children after the adults disappeared. In the latest chapters, she reunites with her son, Sung Suho, and other S-Rank South Korean Hunters.
The story resumes during Suho’s fight with Arsha, successor to the Monarch of Plagues, who reveals a plant-based transformation. Meanwhile, the Apostle of Itarim, disguised as S-Rank Hunter Park Dojin, is fighting Lim Taegyu and Thomas Andre. Baek Yoonho’s daughter, Miho, also meets the Ice Elf children Haein has been caring for.
Publisher D&C Media shared preview images from the new chapters, including Haein entering a battle. The pages mark the debut of Sanjimseung as the webtoon’s new artist. D&C’s accompanying description frames Season 3 as the start of Suho’s renewed progress after he resolves to abandon the “Lord’s Heir” quest.
The webtoon’s developments differ from the original light novel in several respects. In the novel, Thomas Andre is possessed by the Apostle of Itarim and becomes a giant Ice Dragon, leading to Haein gaining a major power boost. The new chapters do not confirm that the same events will unfold in the webtoon.
The Korean-language episodes are available on KakaoPage every Wednesday at 8:00 a.m. EST. No English release date for episodes 69–71 has been confirmed.
