729. The Tribute

Boom!

Red lighting thundered across the sky right then. The Demon World's weather seemed to turn worse, as if it was greeting them with hostility. But the three of them didn't bother with it and just stared at the watch on Sylvester's wrist.

"W-What is the meaning of this?" Dalgan asked, his four eyes frowning. 

"Why is the date so drastically different?" Lord Two inquired. "What is this contraption?" 

Sylvester looked behind himself. There was no portal anymore, and no quick way to return home. "It's a watch my daughter made me… An instrument to measure time." 

Lord Two looked around at the destruction and back at the watch. "Y-You mean… Ten years have passed?" 

"More for you." Sylvester heavy-heartedly focused his mind back on the current situation. "It seems traveling through that portal had effects on time, hastening it. Ten years have passed since we stepped in. For you two, I'm sure it's been more than a decade."
