On the way to the hideout, he'd thought about what he was going to say to get his Liberators out of the way long enough to Level up to 47, but he found the place empty. There didn't appear to be any combat that had happened beyond their normal training. So, he popped into the dungeon and channeled all of his rage into his calming image.

Final Trial!

You have already killed the Warden, so now you must escape the prison!

And so he did. It took him three swings of his sword to create a large enough opening in the wall to fit through and out he went. As soon as he was outside the Dungeon, he repeated this. With his maximum movement speed and the sort range of each trip, it took Degritone a little over 3 real minutes to reach Level 47; to Degritone's mind, however, over 27 hours had passed.

During this time, his rage slowly transformed from near-blinding rage to determination, slowing his clear speed as his calming image began to actually calm him down. He also got a notification and unlocked a Skill.

Protective Barrier of the Lolicon lv1

Once he reached Level 47, he was calm enough to manually deactivate his calming image, rather than have his mind automatically wander to its existence, which he did before allocating his Free Stats and all the PP he gained from his almost 4 weeks of accidental passive grinding.

He enjoyed that his Vitality was such a nice, round number. So many zeros. With his nice 69% Health Regeneration time multiplier, he was regaining his Regeneration around once every 42 seconds. After too long mental math, he figured he was somewhere around 175000 Health per second right now. With 62 seconds banked in his Permanent Prosperity, he had no idea how much of an increase that was during combat. At least 5%.

He then moved on to thinking about where to go next. He wasn't sure if spending another few minutes, hours, potentially days of grinding to get to the maximum Level in a commandeered Level 30 Village Dungeon was worth the risk of loli life, or if not being high enough Level when going to deal with the king and government was too big of a risk due to the nearly guaranteed collateral damage that would happen were he to not be high enough Level to protect everyone mid-fight.

In the end, the latter worry won out and he went to find a map in the old leader's room. He found one already open and laid out. The Village Dungeons and their Levels were marked, and the nearest town had a wooden ring over it. Degritone figured that must be where the Liberators were and decided to not interfere with them, so he went to the closest town with a Level 30 Dungeon, which also happened to be the second closest town.

After making sure he was facing as close to perfectly in the direction of the town as possible, he ran full speed. He passed by a couple carts pulled by large, 6-legged turtle-like animals, which seemed to only barely notice him in the few fractions of a second he took to get to the Village.

"You dare interrupt my chat with my friend, slave?" Degritone heard from a large, extravagant building as he passed it. His Sense Lolis Skill told him there was a Loli just inside the same building and he turned to look at what was going down, in case he was needed.

"I'm sorry! I was just told-" A loli in a maid outfit tried to say, getting cut off.

"Shut up!" A man came into view, seconds from slapping the halfling's face. Degritone moved faster than the slap and moved her out of the way before trying to stop the slap in its tracks,n activating his new Skill just in case she happened to still get hit somehow. Unexpectedly for Degritone, the slap continued as if his arm weren't there, turning it into a bloody mist. He tried to stop it with his armor, but the hand continued like the Mana construct was made of wet paper.

Degritone tried to stop it with condensed armor, but doing so was a mistake, as it simply made the impact of the attack hit his torso, neck, and head. Everything above the waist was reduced to nothing but gore.

Don't die daddy!
