It's not an illusion, it's reality. The blue dragon roars off into the night. He wants to eat the kid, but he can't because he's hiding in the innate realm. The kid tries to open the door to the platform, but the door is locked. He tries to throw pigs down the stairs, but they're too big for him to get down. The guy who opened the door tells him to keep going, because it'll do nothing but help him. He's about to get thrown out of the platform when the evil beasts of the polar land show up. The evil beasts are the same ones that killed the blue dragon in the previous chapter. They're the same evil beasts that killed all the other blue dragon's friends in the first chapter.
