[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. [03:30] SIGN     The Strongest Tank's Labyrinth Raids [03:30] SIGN     Labyrinth Raids [03:30] SIGN     m 124 277 l 134 267 140 274 144 272 150 275 163 260 177 271 472 271 488 261 502 275 507 270 510 274 518 267 528 277 516 288 526 298 517 306 510 299 506 304 500 299 489 312 473 302 178 302 163 313 150 300 146 303 140 299 134 306 125 297 134 287 [03:30] SIGN     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?
