Volume 2: Boundless Walker Chapter 16 Reward
What kind of world is the wasteland?
A world with a hostile environment?
Not comprehensive.
A world of jungle law?
Not specific.
After two days of reading books and watching videos, Goethe had a deeper understanding.
Accident!
The biggest feature of this harsh environment, where the law of the jungle prevails, is that it is full of surprises and dangers!
Danger can come unexpectedly.
Some come from those mutated creatures.
Some come from humans themselves.
Just like now.
The sudden appearance of the sand bandits disrupted Goethe's plan.
Immediately, Goethe made adjustments.
In other words, choose the backup plan!
[Despairing stare]!
With a dragon roar, the illusory dragon overwhelmed the sailing town chosen by Goethe.
The sand bandits fell to the ground one by one, staggering.
Goethe also felt dizzy due to the great consumption of physical strength.
Without hesitation, Goethe shouted in his heart:
"【Bloody Honor】Learn 【Voliber Breathing Technique】!"
Suddenly, sufficient physical strength appeared again.
The dizziness began to subside rapidly.
Not recovery!
But it is the increase in physical strength after the [body] grows!
[Voliber Breathing Method (Basic): As a descendant of the Mad King, Scrooge K's father was allowed to take away the inheritance of his ancestors when he left his hometown. His talent allowed him to quickly master the power of this inheritance and make changes. During the days in Bear Castle, when the summer storm came, he went out to sea to fight the storm and thunder, and when the winter blizzard came, he went into the mountains to feel the most fierce invasion of nature. In the end, he created this new breathing method based on the original inheritance. It is more demanding than the original inheritance, but the remaining blood in your body makes you extremely adaptable to this breathing method. It not only speeds up the practice speed, but also reduces the difficulty of practice by a certain proportion, and obtains greater benefits! ]
[Effect: Body +0.2]
(Note 1: This secret technique can increase your level)
(Note 2: Volibear breathing does not conflict with Steinbeck breathing)
…
"A breathing method that matches yours?"
"Is there a conflict in the breathing method?"
Goethe glanced across but did not stop.
The increased strength saved him from the dilemma of exhaustion.
But, it’s not enough!
"【Bloody Honor】continues to improve 【Voliber Breathing】!"
[Voliber's Breathing Method (Beginner's Guide)]!
not enough!
continue!
[Voliber's Breathing Technique ( Skilled )]!
Not enough! Not enough! Still not enough!
Keep going! Keep going!

…
The substantial increase in [body] enabled Goethe to recover quickly.
No!
It’s far beyond what it was before!
His [Physique] has reached 5.1, which is five times more than that of an ordinary person. Goethe can feel his recovery with every breath he takes.
Facing the sailing town that was swaying back and forth, Goethe launched a charge.
With one leap he jumped onto the sailing ship.
Ignoring the fallen sand bandits, Goethe headed straight for the power room.
Destroy the power reactor!
This was the first plan that Goethe thought of when facing the oncoming sand bandits!
With the help of the [Blood Raven Spirit], Goethe did not get lost, nor was he ambushed by the "ambush" in the power room.
Buzz!
A mecha similar to the 'Defender' pulled the trigger of the miniature machine gun. Amid the unique humming sound of the motor, the miniature machine gun was about to spew out a torrent of metal, but Goethe, who had the 'foresight', took the lead and made a sliding tackle.
Da da da!
The bullet flew over Goethe's head.
However, Goethe came to the side of the mecha, and before the mecha turned around, the short-barreled shotgun in Goethe's hand pressed against the wrist of the mecha holding the gun.
Bang! Bang!
The close-range shooting from the short-barreled shotgun caused the wrist, the most vulnerable part of the mecha's body, to fall off instantly.
Suddenly, the firing of the miniature machine gun stopped abruptly.
However, the mecha's attack did not stop.
The other intact hand clenched into a fist and punched towards Goethe.
Goethe dodged the heavy punch, came to the back of the mecha, and raised his hand to create a cone of flame.
call!
The scorching flames immediately engulfed the mecha.
The explosive-level flames and constant impacts brought the mecha to the brink of collapse.
When it made a sharp beeping sound, Goethe picked up the miniature machine gun on the ground and ran straight outside.
boom!
Two seconds later, the mecha exploded.
The power reactor was also destroyed.
Obviously, the power room and power furnace of the sailing town are completely different from those of the 'Doomsday Fortress', and there is no so-called 'ancient technology'.
Crunch!
Without power from the power reactor, the sailing town immediately shut down.
With a sharp sound, the sailing town began to capsize, but before it actually fell, it was heard—
Bang! Bang! Bang!
The sound of collisions occurred one after another.
Goethe chose this sailing town just for this moment!
It just happened to be stuck in a path that would block the progress of the sailing town behind it!
Two sailing towns in a row were hit.
Including the sailing town whose power reactor was destroyed by Goethe, a total of three sailing towns stopped.
The sailing town that was hit in particular completely collapsed to the ground, and hundreds of sand bandits on it fell into the sand.
This scene caused the rest of the sailing towns to slow down.
Goethe, who had already jumped to the side, glanced at the 'oasis' that had completely sunk underground , and did not retreat immediately, but rushed towards the nearest sailing town.
Goethe leaped onto the sailing town and pulled the trigger.
Buzz!
Da da da!
Amid the sound of the motor of the miniature machine gun, the next moment a torrent of metal swept towards the sand bandits in front of Goethe.
Puff puff puff!
The air was filled with blood mist.
Broken limbs and arms.
The sand bandits in this sailing town were completely stunned.
They knew nothing and turned into corpses.
By the time the bulky mecha appeared, the deck of the sailboat was already in a mess, and apart from the groans of pain, there was only wailing.
Buzz!
The motor sounded again.
This time, however, it was not Goethe.
The previous burst of fire had already used up all the bullets in the miniature machine gun.
This time, what appeared were the mechas of this sailing town.
Unlike before, this mecha has already walked out.
Goethe threw the minigun in his hand towards the mecha.
The bulky mecha raised the muzzle almost according to the program, and bullets poured out.
The miniature machine gun was shattered in an instant.
Then, a cold light flashed.
[Shadow Snake Blade] accurately swept across the mecha's wrist.
Goethe caught the minigun without waiting for it to fall to the ground.
He pulled the trigger again.
Those sand bandits who had just escaped death and rushed forward howling wildly were once again harvested by the metal torrent.
Soon, there was only one mecha left, which was about to explode.
Goethe kicked the mecha and rushed out with the reaction force, while the mecha staggered back into the power room.
boom!
The power room here was also completely destroyed.
Moreover, it seemed to have caused a chain reaction.
The sailing town was blown in two.
Thick smoke billowing!
The flames are raging!
Goethe suddenly stopped while running and jumped back.
Woo!
A long sword slashed in the air.
A strong man with bare upper body appeared in front of Goethe.
"Hey, don't think that 'psychics' can do whatever they want. Let me tell you, I also... uh!"
Before the man with the knife could finish his words, his throat was slit by the [Blood Crow Spirit].
The other person fell to the ground, holding his throat.
Before they died, their eyes widened in disbelief.
He seemed to be completely unable to believe that he was going to die like this.
He is obviously also a 'psychic'!
He clearly still has powerful abilities that he hasn't used yet!
With reluctance, the 'psychic' of the sand bandit completely lost his breath.
After dealing with a 'psychic', Goethe did not stop at all, and hid in the shadows with the [Shadow Snake Dagger] in his hand. Relying on the eyes of the [Blood Raven Spirit], he dodged wave after wave of sand bandits and headed towards the largest sailboat-shaped town.
Goethe was a very simple man.
Or don't do it.
Or do it to the extreme.
Since he has become an enemy, he must be killed without mercy, otherwise he will not be able to sleep or eat.
Of course, it is within one’s own capabilities!
Goethe is not a man of bravado!
However, what Goethe did not expect was that when he was still quite a distance away from the largest sailboat-shaped town, the other side actually retreated.
Just as he came, he left just as quickly.
Moreover, the large ship threw out several hooks from the deck, which hooked the sailing ship that had lost its power reactor and the sailing ship that had exploded.
Looking at the sailing town getting farther and farther away from him, Goethe was angrier than ever.
That was his trophy!
How could it be snatched away by others!
Immediately raising his left hand, Goethe operated the [Enlightener Type V (modified version)] and was about to take the 'Oasis' to chase.
But at this moment, a message appeared on the four-inch screen.
yes--
Baron 'Oasis''s Bounty!
100,000 dead.
Capture 200,000 alive.
From 'Fortress of Doom'.
Immediately, Goethe gave up the idea of pursuit.
'Doomsday Fortress' has a more important [Bloody Honor]!
As for the 'Sand Bandits'?
I'll settle with them later.
Just as Goethe was about to complete his plan to collect the bounty using the corpse of the Baron of Oasis and sneak into the Fortress of Doom, another bounty from the Fortress of Doom appeared on the four-inch screen.
Bounty for Goethe.
5,000,000 people died.
Capture 10,000,000 alive.
Looking at the exaggerated bounty, Goethe was stunned.
