Solo Leveling Ragnarok chapter 44 picks up right where chapter 43 left off, with Suho noticing the numerous lifeline lights that appeared after the system error. He speculates whether these lights indicate the number of lives he now possesses, questioning if this could be an advantage since he has no way of leveling up inside the dungeon.

However, uncertainty lingers as he wonders whether the lights truly represent his remaining lifelines or if they are another anomaly caused by the error. Determined to push forward, Suho continues to explore the labyrinth, suspecting the existence of additional boss rooms and setting out to find them.

However, his journey takes a grim turn when he encounters the two formidable bosses again, his child self boss and his boss self from the tutorial phase. They attack him in the hallway. Before he can react, they swiftly kill him, sending him back to the respawn point.

Upon respawning, Suho is initially disheartened by this new obstacle, wondering how he will ever clear the Advancement Quest under such conditions. However, with the confirmation that the lights indeed represent his new number of lives, he regains his determination.

Realizing that victory may not require direct combat, he devises a strategy: instead of engaging the bosses head-on, he will continue using his lifelines to explore the labyrinth and search for another boss room.

Despite repeatedly encountering his two boss selves and continuously being sent back to the spawn point, Suho persists. As the cycle repeats, doubt begins to creep in whether the system error has caused there to be no additional boss rooms at all.

Faced with an increasingly hopeless situation, Suho devises a new plan: he will map out the labyrinth by using his own blood to mark his path after each respawn, slowly uncovering the dungeon's structure and finding a way forward.

In Solo Leveling Ragnarok chapter 44, the scene shifts to the Hunter Association's official announcement regarding the ban on Stardust, citing its side effects and the irregularities it causes in Hunters who have consumed it.

During a meeting with Association Chairman Jinchul, Lim Taegyu takes responsibility for the situation, especially after news breaks about Minsung's involvement in Stardust distribution. Reflecting on past events, Taegyu recalls how Minsung appeared abnormal when he last saw him (after Tielle forced a transformation on him).

This leads Jong-in to question whether Minsung's condition was a result of consuming Stardust. Taegyu also brings up the presence of the mysterious Black Mas Hunter at the scene, prompting Jong-in to wonder if this Hunter was responsible for Minsung's death. The discussion shifts to another development—a missing Hunter from that same raid.

Jong-in reveals that the missing individual is named Sung Suho. Jong-in raises suspicions about his potential involvement in the unfolding events. As he presents an image of Suho, he considers the possibility of a connection between Suho and the Black Mask Hunter.

Meanwhile, Tielle, who is also attending the meeting under his identity of newly awakened S-Rank Hunter Park Dojin, asks to see Suho's picture. Upon seeing it, he realizes Suho's true identity, uncovering the face behind the Black Mask.

Meanwhile, Jinchul remains deep in thought, contemplating whether Suho is truly the Black Mask Hunter. As Suho's disappearance again adds to the mystery, Jinchul hopes for his safety, wondering what exactly is happening behind the scenes.
