Watching Bethel turn into a gigantic door without a word of warning, Rejedo hesitated, as if he wanted to say something but stopped himself.
Then Bethel activated his sealing ability, turning the surrounding space-time into a labyrinthine prison to trap Rejedo within. Rejedo truly did not know what to say.
