BXBX NOVEL Chapter 635 The Enemies Who Are Pioneers
"Huh? You guys are back? Was it a false alarm?" Alain was surprised seeing that we looked fine and we didn\'t look like someone who goes in a fight.
"It\'s kinda in the middle. I wouldn\'t call it a false alarm since the scouts indeed saw a dragon but it is also a kinda false alarm as the dragon was not a hostile one. It\'s an intelligent dragon that knows how to communicate with us via telepathy. They also apologized to us for giving us a little scare for existing inside the cave but he assured us that he is not going to disturb us here unless we purposely disturb his peace and wreak havoc on his home."
"Are you guys sure? I mean, that guy was a dragon. This is the first time I have encountered something like a dragon who is a friendly one. Not in my years of living in this world..." Alain is having doubts.
"We can vouch that he is not something we need to get worried about. If he ever does attack us without warning, then we will be the ones who will take him down. We are confident in bringing him down without a contest. If anything, we would be delighted to have a dragon in the vicinity which means we won\'t be seeing big monsters wrecking our little village due to them wandering near us. It\'s a big win in my book," Sigma assured Alain.
Alain in having doubts but since Sigma is the one who made the assurance, he decided to agree.
"Alright, fine. If you guys can really vouch that this dragon will not harm us then we will forget that there is a dragon there. Of course, we will respect the dragon and make sure to not make it angry."
I can tell Alain seems to be having a little bit of a contradiction in contrast to what he was saying but I can at least understand why he was like that. If you are someone who has not encountered any dragon and only their tales, but then encountered one who is "friendly", you will be in a bind of what to believe next.
In any case, the incident with the dragon ended without a hassle and that is a good thing I must say.

I went ahead and logged out of the game after playing for a few hours straight. After stabilizing my mana after logging out, I went to my PC and started scrolling for stuff and discussions of the Alternate World community. This is my only way of knowing what is the current happenings on the mainland while we are still up in the Luminous Continent without a way to know when we will be able to get back home.
The forums are still the same thing like guild recruitment, discussions on the arena, exchanging info about a certain boss and the like, or just talking about their favorite NPCs and stuff. I was about to close the forum when my eyes caught something that I didn\'t expect.
A forum of pioneer players.
I went to the very beginning of the forum discussion to see what started the forum. Soon, I realized that this forum room is created due to the mystery of why everyone is still stuck in the Luminous Continent. Because of the announcement back then where the final boss was defeated, they thought that just like the Sandurk Continent\'s Pioneer quest ended with the defeat of the final boss, they were able to go back to where they wanted to go.
Soon enough, a few pioneers also wondered the same and most of them started to find clues on what to do and what caused them to remain in the continent without a way to get out. There, one player decided to butt in and found out about a quest that everyone can join in. And that is anti-rebellion recruitment.
Because the anti-rebellion recruitment quest happened, most of the players who just wanted to get out of the continent and wanted to go back home decided to join in the quest to finish up and get the quest to be done.
I thought everyone in the forums wanted to join in but soon found a few players who refused to join. Most of their lines say this was wrong and the faction they joined is the wrong one. I still couldn\'t believe someone else didn\'t join the anti-rebellion squad since I am very much ready for most of the pioneers to join hands together to end the rebellion.
Some of them just didn\'t find the motives of the anti-rebellion squad pleasing and decided to not bother staying with them and leave. While some players noticed that Bladeheart, which is me is not part of the anti-rebellion squad. Some even noticed that Sigma is also not there too which means some just decided to not join because we are not there.
But despite the number of players not joining, the majority of the pioneers joined the anti-rebellion squad for the sake of finishing the storyline and getting the ending which will also result in us returning to the mainland. Just those numbers alone are enough to say that the situation is just like how it happened back then. Players have decided to join the anti-rebellion squad instead of the rebels, giving the rebels, which is us, a bad situation once the final battle comes.
One thing is for sure because we are not there to join, the main leader of the anti-rebellion squad pioneers would undoubtedly going to be Kaisar, or Kazuki. It seems the showdown between us would be at it again.
