Vulcan(볼칸) was the second boss of the Demon Castle and the Ruler of the Lower Floors. He was also referred to as the Avaricious Vulcan for his immense greed and power.
Appearance
Vulcan was a morbidly obese demon about the size of a small building, with red skin, three glowing red eyes, sharp teeth with large lower fangs, and four horns (two gray and two white). He wore only a small white loincloth and wielded a massive brown club, later revealed to be made from a branch of the World Tree.
Abilities
As an S-rank magic beast, Vulcan was a considerably powerful individual.
- Enhanced Strength: Vulcan possessed great physical strength, as evidenced by how he was able to keep Jinwoo down with his blows.
- Enhanced Speed: Despite his tubby build, Vulcan could move at great speeds, as evidenced by how Jinwoo was unable to react in time to dodge his strikes.
- Enhanced Durability: Vulcan possessed a great deal of durability, as evidenced by how he was virtually unharmed after Jinwoo punched him in the face and sent him flying through several buildings.
- Rage: Vulcan was able to increase his pain threshold and buff all of his stats by 50%, with no fixed time limit.
Trivia
- In the opening of Season 2 of Solo Leveling, a battle sequence is seen of Vulcan facing off against the Korean S-Ranks (Cha Hae-In, Baek Yoonho, Lim Tae-Gyu, Ma Dongwook, Min Byung-Gyu).
- Upon his defeat, Vulcan dropped items such as the Demon Sovereign’s Earrings, Orb of Avarice and a Fragment of the World Tree (a highly prized crafting material).
- Vulcan was so incompetent that he couldn't produce Bloodstone, the exclusive food of the demon nobles. Therefore, he was the demon who had devoured the most of his own kind, more than any other noble.[1]
