(Japanese: 最強タンクの迷宮攻略, Hepburn: Saikyō Tank no Meikyū Kōryaku) Rud, a devoted tank, serves as the shield of the Hero's Party and possesses the highest defense stat ever recorded. Unlike his companions, Rud does not raid labyrinths for glory or wealth; his sole motivation is to find a legendary wish-granting treasure rumored to lie within them, which he hopes will cure his younger sister's illness. Despite his reliability, Rud is blamed when a raid ends in failure and is expelled from the party by its arrogant hero, who misunderstands Rud's abilities and deems him useless.
