Alchemy of Souls H2H: Jang Uk Vs Seo Yul, Who is the Strongest mage ?

Share

The Alchemy Of Souls has given us what it means to be able to wield mystical power and control it, as well as the craving to want more than it was safe. Mages in the Alchemy Of Souls series have proven to hold different strengths and levels as much as the magical training they had from their various masters.

Seo Yul was the best young mage in the whole of Songrim and Daheo at large, his fighting skills and the level of power he could wield were unmatched among his peers. However, Jand Uk took it from the bottom beating each young mage to reach an unpredictable level of power than any mage in the least period unlike any other. 

Remember, Seo Yul had been open to magic since he was a child while his childhood friend and almost brother, Jang Uk had his gate of energy blocked since he was an infant. So, when both had measured up to the same level of the powerful mage, the question of “who is the strongest?” Is not a miss.  

Now, we analyze both by: 

MAGIC

Seo Yul

Yul was no doubt leading among his fellow young mages when it comes to mastery of spells. Seo Yul had reached the highest level of becoming a mage which was almost unattainable by anyone else in his age range, Chisu, the ability to control the atmosphere’s energy and the gateway to enable the use of Tansu takes as much as 10 years to have the control of wielding the power by mastering other precedent stages (Jipsu and Ryusu). Whenever there are soul shifter occurrences, Yul is the only one capable of finishing them off with his level of magic spells. 

Jang Uk

Jang Uk had no way to magic from the onset, aside from him being born with a king’s star, he was a genius. Uk had a very intelligent psyche that allowed him to grab the essence of magic spells he rose quickly through the stages of becoming a mage. Taking a lot of training from Mu-deok, his hidden Nak-su master successfully made unsheathing his father’s sword easier. Uk luck-gotten torrent of energy from master Heo Yeom took a lot to control and during the duel with his fellow mages, he used Tansu by mere manipulation of the liquid droplet which was achieved without reaching the Chisu stage of wielding magic.

FIGHTING SKILLS

Seo Yul

A decade of training gave Seo Yul the capability to be unbeatable when it comes to fighting skills among his pairs. When Mu-deok made herself the prize for the winner of the last opponent Uk will be facing, a bet with the crown prince, Go Won if Uk should lose the duel— Seo Yul stepped up to everyone’s surprise. With Jang Uk progressively becoming a threat, Prince Go Won who was desperately in need to make Jang Uk lose the last duel, replaced Beom who was freaking out with Seo Yul, because he was the only one who can repel any fighting techniques Jang Uk was about to unleash. 

Seo Yul was also the only mage that would have, without so many obstacles, gotten rid of the new soul-shifted body of Master Kang who had mastery of magic and fighting skills. That too on various occasions.

Jang Uk

Park Jin had initially refused to open Jang Uk’s gate to reach his energy which led him to undergo incomplete training with  12 different masters. Jang Uk, before he met Nak-su in Mu-deok’s body, had left all of his masters one after the other in a short period without picking up any fighting or defense skill that is possible to learn as ordinary as he was. After being pushed to every edge possible, Nak-su managed to get Jang Uk up every time he slacks and that gave him consistency and perseverance. Jang Uk had greatly improved as he fought the duel Mu-deok set up for him, picking up every potential skill from his previous opponents, and while he lost to them all he kept getting up every time. 

Before all of that, Jang Uk had been strong enough to hold Gil-ju, one of Jim Mu’s soul-shifter and right-hand man.

TOLERANCE

Seo Yul 

Warm and smart Seo Yul had silently withheld his anguish of losing Nak-su, his first love, and his discovery of the possibility that Mu-deok is Nak-su till he was convinced she is the one. It was hard for him to not reveal a soul shifter in the simple maid Mu-deok’s body— his affection for her and the fear of losing someone so special as Nak-su again to the risk of getting petrified were both conflicting. And worse, Seo Yul had to bear losing Nak-su once again to his childhood friend, Jang Uk— A heavy heart carrying an unrequited love.

Jang Uk 

Jang Gang had denied Jang Uk the right to practice magic spells and keep up with his fellow peers in becoming a mage. Rejected so many times by Park Jin, his father figure, and as well as other masters earned him a determination to find the key to open his gate of energy in his way. Keeping within himself his pain and the unfulfilled feeling of not living up to his father’s name as one of the strongest mages in Daheo. Every mockery and comment of everyone around him, as well as Jin Mu who always tried to take advantage of Jang Uk’s weakness to rub it in of how he is incapable of getting the Gwanju’s position— Carrying the burden of his questionable identity. 

Each of these phases makes Seo Yul and Jang Uk twisted into similar fates but different circumstances. 

A smart and warm Seo Yul distinguished for his skills and intelligence to the genius and lucky Jang Uk that rose to fame for his becoming a prodigy and sharpened. 

Fitting yourself in each of Yul and Uk’s shoes will tell you who is stronger by relating to these breakdowns for both characters. Let us know who you are rooting for!
