Solo Leveling season 2 episode 2, titled I Suppose You Aren't Aware, commenced with Sung Jinwoo using his Necromancer powers, extracting the shadows of the ice bears to make them his shadow soldiers. Outside the Red Gate, Baek Yoonho and Hwang Dongsoo fought because the latter tried to mess with the former employee without his consent.

However, at the eleventh hour, Jinshul interfered and stopped their fists from clashing. Returning to the Red Gate, Hunter Kim had escaped death by abandoning his teammates and saw the people he left behind, Jinwoo's party, enjoying their drinks on a bonfire. So, he went berserk and charged towards them. Fortunately, Jinwoo arrived and stopped him.

Jinwoo also sensed the Ice Elves and demanded them to come forth. After revealing themselves, they conversed with the main protagonist, even though no one else could understand the Ice Elves' speech. After killing one Ice Elf who challenged the protagonist, Jinwoo commenced an all-out battle against the enemies with his shadow soldiers.

While the shadow soldiers subdued the underlings, Jinwoo bought Baruka, the leader of the Ice Elves. During the battle, Hunter Kim also wakes up and is blindly charged toward Jinwoo. However, he was instantly killed and was reawakened as a shadow soldier named Iron.

However, in a 3 vs. 1 battle between Baruka and Jinwoo (assisted by Igris and Iron), the stakes were high on the protagonist's side. Sensing his defeat, Baruka went berserk and kept targeting Iron (because he was the defense). Sadly, all was for naught because Jinwoo caught Baruka's blind spot and killed him. Everyone then exited the gate, marking an end to the Red Gate arc.
