[00:07] (Flashback) LUNA
    If I can protect the town
    in your place, then I will.
[00:13] RUD/ID
    Encouraged by my friends,
    I decided to save both Manicia and the town.
[00:20] RUD/ID
    I will conquer the labyrinth in order
    to make all of my dreams come true.
[00:26] RUD/ID
    I immediately set to work forming a clan,
[00:29] RUD/ID
    but I was summoned by adventurers
    exploring Avancia's labyrinth.

[00:33] RUD/ID
    I didn't think members of my old party
    would be exploring the labyrinth.
[00:43] LILIA
    Okay, allow us to reintroduce ourselves.
[00:48] LILIA
    I am Lilia. I haven't seen you
    since the day you were kicked out, Rud.
[00:52] LILY
    I'm her twin sister, Lily.
[00:55] LILY
    We're twins, but we have different
    eye colors due to a physical idiosyncrasy.
[00:59] LUNA/ID
    They're so close.
[01:01] SUGOL
    That must've been difficult for you.
[01:04] SUGOL
    I am the church knight, Sugol.
[01:07] LUNA
    I-I'm Luna. It's nice to meet you.
[01:14] SUGOL
    Let's discuss the details inside.
[01:18] KYGLAS
    Hey.
[01:20] KYGLAS
    It's been a while, Rud.
[01:23] NIN
    Kyglas!
[01:25] NIN
    You've got some nerve asking Rud
    to meet you after what you did to him.
[01:31] RUD
    Thanks, but I'm fine now.
[01:35] RUD
    Kyglas.
[01:36] RUD
    Explain yourself.
[01:39] RUD
    You didn't invite me here
    just to say hello, did you?
[01:44] KYGLAS
    Yesterday, we encountered
    a sentient guardian.
[01:49] RUD/ID
    A sentient guardian?
[01:53] RUD/ID
    We've never been able to converse with
    guardians that we've fought before now,
[01:58] RUD/ID
    even when they were humanoid.
[02:03] KYGLAS
    You can see how that turned out for me, so...
[02:07] KYGLAS
    You should explore the labyrinth instead.
[02:09] RUD
    What?
[02:11] KYGLAS
    While I'm stuck here,
    you should finish the mission!
[02:13] KYGLAS
    Quit complaining and hop to it!
[02:15] LILIA
    In other words, having you pick up where
    he left off is his way of apologizing.
[02:21] KYGLAS
    Don't tell him that!
[02:22] LILIA
    Hm? Are you embarrassed?
[02:24] KYGLAS
    No way!
[02:25] KYGLAS
    Aw, man.
[02:27] KYGLAS
    You need the Secret Treasure of the
    Labyrinth to cure your sister, right?
[02:32] RUD
    You remember that?
[02:35] KYGLAS
    I understand now what
    was enabling me to fight.
[02:44] KYGLAS
    So what are you gonna do?
[02:46] KYGLAS
    Are you going or not?
[02:51] RUD
    Let me do it.
[02:59] RUD
    I'm going to borrow Lilia and the others.
[03:03] KYGLAS
    Rud.
[03:05] KYGLAS
    I'm sorry for everything.
[03:09] KYGLAS
    Don't get yourself killed.
[03:13] RUD
    Thanks.
[03:15] RUD
    I promise I'll defeat that guardian.

    A Tank with a Rare 9,999 Resistance Skill
    Got Kicked from the Hero's Party
[04:51] NIN
    I can't believe Kyglas apologized.
    Anyway, we've got a full party now.
[04:56] RUD
    Yeah.
[04:57] RUD
    Let's begin our raid of Avancia's labyrinth.
[05:14] LUNA
    What is this?
[05:15] NIN
    It teleports us to the first floor.
[05:18] NIN
    Okay, here we go.
[05:31] LUNA
    I can't believe this huge area
     was inside that entrance.
[05:36] LUNA
    There's even a sun.
[05:37] RUD
    That sun doesn't move.
[05:40] RUD
    So don't let it throw off your sense of time.
[05:42] LUNA
    Wow.
[05:43] RUD
    The space inside a labyrinth is warped.
[05:46] RUD
    Things that are impossible outside
    happen in here like they're nothing.
[05:51] LUNA
    The magic circle disappeared.
[05:53] LUNA
    So we can't use it to get back out?
[05:55] RUD
    Right. In order to exit this place,
    we have to find another magic circle.
[06:01] SIGN
    Teach Me!
[06:01] SIGN
    Ms. Nin
[06:01] NIN
    Don't worry, though.
[06:02] NIN
    Lily has a skill called "Dungeon Walk."
[06:06] NIN
    Normally, you need to find randomly placed
    magic circles to travel between floors,
[06:13] SIGN
    Dungeon
[06:13] SIGN
    Walk
[06:13] NIN
    but with Dungeon Walk, you can travel
    to and from floors you've already visited.
[06:18] LUNA
    I see.
[06:19] NIN
    Generally, up to six people can
    benefit from the effects of a skill,
[06:23] NIN
    so only six people can
    be teleported in this way.
[06:27] RUD
    There's another spell
    similar to Dungeon Walk.
[06:29] RUD
    Nin, show her.
[06:31] NIN
    Got it.
[06:35] NIN
    It's an emergency escape spell.
[06:37] LUNA
    Let me try.
[06:38] NIN
    What?
[06:42] NIN
    I can't believe you learned it so quickly.
[06:44] SUGOL
    Wow.
[06:45] BOTH
    Yeah.
[06:47] RUD/ID
    That was probably
    a combat homunculus ability.
[06:53] LILY
    There are three chameleon
    kongs heading this way.
[07:00] RUD
    Lilia and Sugol, you're at the front.
[07:02] RUD
    Nin and Lily, you're at the back.
     You're on support and healing.
[07:06] RUD
    Luna, position yourself
    where you can protect everyone.
[07:09] RUD
    As usual, I'll be the group's shield.
[07:13] RUD
    Provoke.
[07:37] RUD
    Keep it up! We'll take them down!
[07:39] ALL
    Got it.
[07:42] MARIUS
    Oh?
[07:44] MARIUS
    Not bad.
[07:53] LILIA
    This is where we met the guardian last time.
[07:57] LILIA
    He's not here.
[08:00] RUD
    Fieldasaurus.
[08:03] RUD/ID
    They're faster than the usual ones you get
    in labyrinths. Is it the guardian's doing?
[08:09] RUD
    I'll handle these two.
[08:12] RUD
    You guys find the magic circle.
[08:14] NIN
    Got it.
[08:15] RUD
    Provoke.
[08:22] SUGOL
    Let's save some strength
    to fight the guardian.
[08:29] NIN
    I found the magic circle.
[08:31] RUD
    Okay. Let's hurry on ahead!
[08:34] MARIUS
    A wise decision.
[08:39] MARIUS
    Seventh floor.
[08:41] MARIUS
    Eighth floor.
[08:44] MARIUS
    Ninth floor.
[08:47] MARIUS
    Come to me soon.
[08:53] NIN
    The next floor is the tenth at last.
[08:58] RUD
    You guys.
[09:01] RUD
    Thank you for accommodating
     my selfish goals.
[09:05] NIN
    Where did that come from?
[09:07] LILIA
    Don't worry about it.
[09:10] LILIA
    It's for your sister, right?
[09:12] LILIA
    We understand how important family is.
[09:15] SUGOL
    Yeah.
[09:16] NIN
    That's right.
[09:18] NIN
    And you shouldn't be thanking us just yet.
[09:23] NIN
    Rud.
[09:28] NIN
    The true test is still to come.
[09:33] RUD
    I know.
[09:43] RUD
    Let's defeat the guardian together.
[09:50] NIN
    It's a grassy field.
[09:54] MARIUS
    You have fought impressively.
[09:58] RUD/ID
    So this is the guy.
[10:00] MARIUS
    I never expected such
    powerful adventurers to come here.
[10:05] RUD/ID
    The sentient guardian.
[10:08] MARIUS
    Welcome to my labyrinth.
[10:14] MARIUS
    I am this labyrinth's guardian...
[10:19] MARIUS
    Marius.
[10:26] RUD
    I heard the guardian was
    previously found on the fifth floor.
[10:29] MARIUS
    Given how strong you are,
[10:32] MARIUS
    I thought I'd wait on the tenth floor
    so I wouldn't have to hold back.
[10:38] MARIUS
    This floor is my domain.
[10:41] MARIUS
    Well, you'll see soon enough
    what my full strength looks like.
[10:51] RUD
    How's he so strong? It feels like
    my arms are about to be torn off.
[10:55] MARIUS
    I'm impressed you blocked that.
[10:57] MARIUS
    You were worth the wait.
[10:59] RUD
    Marius.
[11:00] RUD
    I didn't come here to fight. We can talk—
[11:04] MARIUS
    A clash of blades.
[11:07] MARIUS
    That is how men converse with one another.
[11:12] RUD/ID
    If I let my guard down, he'll kill me.
[11:15] RUD
    We'll negotiate afterwards.
[11:17] RUD
    Let's fight.
[11:18] NIN
    Here we go.
[11:20] MARIUS
    Oh? Not bad.
[11:31] NIN
    What's this guy's deal?
    Does he have eyes on his back?
[11:34] MARIUS
    Your coordination is impressive.
[11:36] MARIUS
    It seems I'll have to fight
    at full strength after all.
[11:40] MARIUS
    And when I do, I become a true monster.
[11:44] MARIUS
    If you don't want to die,
    you should use your skills to flee.
[11:48] MARIUS
    Do you really think you can defeat me?
[12:00] NIN
    What the heck is this guy?
[12:02] RUD/ID
    I can tell from his roar alone
    just how dangerous he is.
[12:06] RUD/ID
    But...
[12:07] RUD/ID
    I can't turn back.
[12:12] RUD/ID
    I have to win.
[12:15] RUD
    His attacks are so powerful.
[12:22] LILY
    Sister, ride my wind.
[12:24] LILIA
    Got it.
[12:30] SUGOL
    Mr. Rud, let's take turns
    drawing the enemy's attention.
[12:33] RUD
    Agreed.
[12:34] SUGOL
    Magic: Provoke.
[12:41] RUD/ID
    I knew he was unusually strong.
[12:46] RUD/ID
    But one more hit could kill me.
[12:50] RUD
    Don't let him hit you head-on.
[12:52] SUGOL
    You're the only one who'd even try that.
[12:56] RUD
    Nin, focus on healing.
[12:59] RUD
    Lily, use support spells
    to keep our front line up.
[13:02] RUD
    Luna, assist us.
[13:03] LUNA
    Understood.
[13:05] RUD
    Sugol, let's switch.
[13:07] RUD
    Provoke.
[13:11] (Flashback) NIN
    We won't be able to avoid a long fight.
[13:14] (Flashback) LUNA
    It'll be a battle of endurance.
    Will we be all right?
[13:18] (Flashback) LILIA
    Normally, we'd be at a
    disadvantage, but we have Rud.
[13:23] (Flashback) LILIA
    Rud's Shield of Sacrifice
    focuses all of our damage onto him.
[13:28] (Flashback) LILIA
    Life Exchange will turn the absorb shield
[13:30] (Flashback) LILIA
    he loses over a long fight
     into incredible strength.
[13:34] (Flashback) LILIA
    We have to stay alive during the long battle
    and put all our trust into his one attack.
[13:47] LUNA
    Ms. Lilia!
[13:48] LUNA
    At this rate, someone will fall eventually.
[13:52] NIN
    Luna.
[13:53] NIN
    I know it's hard being in the
     back and having to watch.
[13:57] NIN
    But as long as we stay standing,
    the front line will be fine.
[14:01] NIN
    So remember this.
[14:03] NIN
    It's up to us to be patient and endure this.
[14:11] LUNA
    Got it.
[14:17] RUD/ID
    His movements are slowing.
[14:19] RUD/ID
    Is he getting tired?
[14:23] RUD/ID
    My absorb shield has been depleted by 30,000.
[14:26] RUD/ID
    If I hit him with this...
[14:31] LUNA
    Master.
[14:34] RUD
    Luna.
[14:35] RUD/ID
    I won't miss this opportunity.
[14:37] RUD/ID
    I'll hit him with this attack.
[14:38] RUD
    Life Conversion!
[14:48] LUNA
    Did we win?
[14:53] NIN
    You're kidding, right? He can still move?
[14:58] RUD/ID
    My attack was effective.
[15:00] RUD/ID
    If I hit him with another Life Conversion...
[15:22] RUD
    Are you guys okay?
[15:24] LILIA
    We're fine.
[15:26] LILIA
    Lily!
[15:28] LILIA
    Are you okay?
[15:30] LILY
    I'll recover from this right away.
[15:38] RUD
    Sugol!
[15:40] SUGOL
    I-I'm fine.
[15:43] SUGOL
    I can... keep fighting.
[15:53] RUD/ID
    Am I willing to expose the others
    to danger for my goals?
[15:59] RUD/ID
    I don't want to risk their lives for my sake.
[16:07] RUD
    Retreat.
[16:09] RUD
    Prepare to leave.
[16:11] NIN
    What are you—
[16:12] RUD
    I'm the leader of this party.
[16:14] RUD
    I have to make the right choice.
[16:19] NIN
    Rud!
[16:21] NIN
    You're giving up on your dream
    after making it this far?
[16:24] RUD
    Nin?
[16:25] NIN
    I told you to do what you wanted to do.
[16:29] SUGOL
    Mr. Rud, please don't underestimate me.
[16:32] SUGOL
    You gave the order to retreat
    after looking at me, right?
[16:35] SUGOL
    I'm still here.
    I'm prepared to fight to the death.
[16:40] NIN
    Rud.
[16:41] NIN
    We can't run.
[16:43] NIN
    Don't say something so pathetic!
[16:50] RUD
    I...
[16:56] RUD
    I want to save Manicia, so...
[17:00] RUD
    Please.
[17:01] BOTH
    Skill: Fusion.
[17:11] LILIALY
    Fusion complete: Lilialy.
[17:15] RUD
    Lilialy.
[17:16] LILIALY
    Let me handle this.
[17:22] RUD/ID
    Lilialy.
[17:24] RUD/ID
    Sugol.
[17:27] RUD/ID
    Luna. Nin.
[17:30] RUD/ID
    This time...
[17:32] NIN
    Sugol's absorb shield has been broken!
[17:35] RUD
    Life Conversion!
[17:43] RUD/ID
    If that attack hits me,
    my shield will break.
[17:48] RUD/ID
    But I'll take it.
[17:50] RUD/ID
    I'll turn this last damage
    I take into strength.
[17:54] ALL
    Go!
[17:57] RUD
    Life Conversion!
[18:24] MARIUS
    That was fun, Rud.
[18:27] MARIUS
    I doubt I can move anymore.
[18:30] MARIUS
    You're free to do as you wish.
[18:33] RUD
    What?
[18:34] RUD
    It's over?
[18:36] MARIUS
    I suppose so, yes.
[18:38] MARIUS
    But it won't truly be over
    until you finish me off.
[18:43] RUD
    I told you, I came here to talk.
[18:47] RUD
    Marius.
[18:49] RUD
    Do you have the Secret Treasure of the
    Labyrinth that is said to grant any wish?
[18:54] MARIUS
    Is this what you want?
[18:57] MARIUS
    Here.
[18:58] MARIUS
    That magic stone is capable of miracles.
[19:01] MARIUS
    Infuse it with mana and make your wish.
[19:04] MARIUS
    Once used, it will shatter, so use it well.
[19:09] MARIUS
    That's all you wanted, right? Now finish me.
[19:12] RUD
    Actually, I'd like to avoid destroying the
    labyrinth if I can. There's a town nearby.
[19:17] RUD
    So...
[19:20] RUD
    Marius, I'd like you to continue
    ruling this labyrinth as its guardian.
[19:29] MARIUS
    In other words, you want to work together?
[19:32] MARIUS
    I like fighting strong opponents.
[19:35] MARIUS
    So I'd be glad to help out.
[19:39] MARIUS
    Plus, I'd like a rematch against you someday.
[19:41] RUD
    Uh...
[19:43] RUD
    Actually, I'd rather we didn't.
[19:52] MANICIA
    Brother, you're a mess.
[19:55] RUD
    I'm fine. More importantly, take this.
[19:59] RUD
    It's for you.
[20:01] MANICIA
    What is this?
[20:02] RUD
    It's the magic stone I've been searching for.
[20:05] MANICIA
    I can't accept this.
[20:07] MANICIA
    You should use it for yourself.
[20:10] RUD
    Even then, I'd use it for the same thing.
[20:16] RUD
    So take it, okay?
[20:22] MANICIA
    Brother...
[20:25] MANICIA
    Very well.
[20:29] MANICIA
    Magic stone of miracles.
[20:34] MANICIA
    Please grant me my greatest wish.
[20:45] RUD
    Notice any changes?
[20:48] RUD
    Manicia?
[20:49] MANICIA
    I feel like I have a bit more energy.
[20:52] MANICIA
    Before, I'd quickly grow short of breath
     if I moved around like this.
[20:58] MANICIA
    But now, I feel like I could spin forever.
[21:06] RUD/ID
    I've never seen Manicia like this before.
[21:10] RUD/ID
    If I keep adventuring, I'll surely be able
    to cure her completely someday.
[21:15] MANICIA
    Brother.
[21:17] RUD/ID
    I thought she might die someday, but now...
[21:23] RUD/ID
    She's fine.
[21:26] RUD/ID
    Everything I've done up until now
    hasn't been in vain.
[21:33] MANICIA
    Brother, thank you.
[23:11] MARIUS
    Rud.
[23:12] RUD
    Marius? What is it?
[23:15] MARIUS
    Congratulations.
[23:17] MARIUS
    As of today, you're the
    guardian of the labyrinth.
[23:21] RUD
    Come again?
