Esil Radiru is a princess who crossed paths with Sung Jinwoo on the 80th floor of the Demon Castle, targeting his shadow army and significantly slowing his progress. But Jinwoo eventually figured out that she was behind everything and confronted her. After two of her knights were killed, Esil begged for her life and even tried to attack Sung when he appeared distracted.

Radiru was astonished by Sung's powers and watched in amazement as he cleared floor after floor without sustaining any injuries.

Despite being quite powerful already, Sung had to seek Igris' help and turn A-rank hunter Kim Chul into Iron to defeat him. As an S-rank magic beast, Baruka was naturally quite strong and was able to withstand several of Jinwoo's attacks without flinching.

2 Ant King

Ant Queen's Strongest Child

Anime Debut: Episode 22
Webtoon Debut: Chapter 94

The secret boss of the S-rank dungeon on Jeju Island, Ant King was an insect-type magic beast. He was extremely overpowered and managed to single-handedly slaughter Japan's Draw Sword Guild's seven top hunters within a few minutes. He might have murdered the entire Jeju Island raid party had Sung Jinwoo not arrived there on time.

Are there others? Others you call king? ~ Ant King

Ant King was a special magic beast since he had a unique ability called Gluttony, which allowed him to devour any living organism and then absorb its powers and knowledge. Using Gluttony, Ant King learned the human language within a few minutes after devouring Ming Byung-Gyu's head.

If he had lived long enough, his ability to evolve at a frightening pace might have made him the most dangerous magic beast to have ever lived. Ant King had the misfortune of running into someone as strong as Sung Jinwoo just a few days after his birth. Even then, he showed that he was no pushover and forced his adversary to exert considerable effort to kill him.

Kandiaru is so powerful that he almost killed the entire raid party that decided to explore the Double Dungeon. He appears to have a strange bloodlust for humans. When he maimed Sung Jinwoo and other hunters with him, Kandiaru appeared to draw sadistic pleasure from their torture.

Unlike most magic beasts, he is also quite intelligent and strategically created an entire magical program to serve his own sinister goals. He is the only dungeon boss in the anime who survived even after crossing paths with Jinwoo.
