Serion's voice was heard before he cut the call, and in an instant—Lord Light froze.
"W-What…?"
He let out a word, unable to believe what had just happened.
Did… did that child just cut off communication with him?
He wondered in his head, his mind unable to comprehend this. The impossibility of such an action was simply too absolute in his mind for him to even consider otherwise. Soon, however, realization kicked in.
He… that child did cut contact on his own.
The memories of the conversation they had held in the past few hours—the one he hadn't properly noticed since he had countless other things to worry about—finally resurfaced in his mind.
His trembling, panicking voice, his commands that sounded less like commands and more like him begging for help…
Lord Light recalled it all.
The fear had consumed him so much that he actually allowed a child to look down on him…
He couldn't believe it.
