Chapter 126: Weeping Angels
What made everything difficult, however, was that he didn't know what to do.
They were inside a building and unfortunately, it was not possible to get out through the exit door of the building. There was no one outside or inside the building except him and Miracle.
The outside world was flooded with light, and the buildings shone brightly, but there was literally no sign of life as if everyone in the world had suddenly disappeared.
Despite all this, James felt that someone was watching them. He thought it was because he was lonely, and frankly, it was a bit creepy.
Miracle had transformed into a dragon and landed on James' head as usual, it would be fair to say that the duo tried to walk around the entire building.
They were ransacking every room, every area, they didn't seem to know what was going on or what they were supposed to do.
"Alright, this is too weird, Emma aren't you going to give me a clue?" James suddenly muttered, he really had no idea what was going on, he and Miracle were in a building all alone, that was all.
[The only clue I can give you is don't wink at them, find a way to kill them.]
James saw the window suddenly open in front of him and shook his head, he didn't know what he was supposed to kill and he couldn't understand why he shouldn't blink, but at least he had a purpose to do it.
He continued to walk around, he was really confused, he literally couldn't find anything to kill unless it was a ghost.
Even the Titans arguing on Olympus had stopped, the floor James was now on was far too dangerous.
James was in a bad situation again, the tower seemed to have adapted a floor for James that he should have been in much later.
Suddenly James could hear rattling coming from upstairs, downstairs and literally from the rooms next to him. He realised that the glow had gone from each of the buildings outside and the electricity had returned to the building he was in.
"THUD!"
"THUD!"
"THUD!"
"THUD!"
"THUD!"
"THUD!"
"THUD!"
The unbelievably heavy "foot-stomping" sounds, one after the other, confused James. If such monsters existed, they must have weighed a lot, as did their size, how could they fit in rooms?
Suddenly James felt something coming towards him from behind him, incredibly fast indeed, rising towards him:
"THUD!"
"THUD!"
"THUD!"
Suddenly turning around James saw a female figure appear in front of him, he instantly realised that the voices from downstairs, upstairs and the room next to them had been silenced.
In front of him was a sculpted female figure with a demonic expression. The statue woman appeared to have wings, claws and white skin.
"Miracle, how long can you keep your eyes open?" James suddenly asked and his little girl replied, "A few minutes if I use magic, Dad."
"Then start using it, never close your eyes, do you understand?" James said and got a yes back.
James knew very clearly what the statue, or rather the monster, was in front of him.
"Is that a flipping Weeping Angel?" James suddenly muttered and with that a window opened in front of him:
[You should never blink in front of these monsters, if there is no one else looking at it, your neck will break and you will die on the spot].
When James read what was written in the message window, he nodded his head as if he understood and then said, "These are different from what I know, they break necks instead of sending you back in time?" James now realised what was happening and what those voices were.
"I think they're waiting for me to come," James said and then he equipped Clarent. With a single move, the Weeping Angel was cut in half.
James thought he had made a successful kill, but suddenly he heard the sounds that had just disappeared start to reappear:
"THUD!"
"RUHAA!"
"THUD!"
"COME BAGHK!"
"THUD!"
"THUD!"
Occasionally James heard humanoid voices and realised quite clearly that they were trying to lure him towards them, in short, he wasn't quite sure what he was supposed to do, but he decided to ignore them and then started to make his way quickly up the stairs.
He hadn't tried it before, but maybe he could make it to the roof of the building.
James had assumed that every single Weeping Angel was right on his doorstep because of the constant sounds that were getting louder and closer.
Still, he was comforted by the fact that Miracle was constantly looking around, so he was able to continue his run.
After a short while he managed to get to the door of the penthouse, he kept pushing on the door but he could see that some force was blocking it.
"Welp...That is weird." James said and grabbed Clarent tightly, cutting the door.
The door was indeed cut open, and as soon as James stepped outside, the door was fixed.
James didn't know what to do, thanks to Clarent, he had seen that the Weeping Angels could be killed, and he started to think of a way to kill the groups in all the voices instead of killing each one individually.
In short, he needed a little brainstorming, and he needed it as fast as possible.
He really had to find a method as quickly as possible, finish the job, move to the next floor and move on.
He didn't know how to do it though, he couldn't look at too many enemies all the time, and he didn't have thousands of eyes.
