I pressed a button on the right of the steering without an ounce of hesitation. The energy flooded inside the car that was still present for use. I removed all the restrictions on how much energy could be used per minute and let it flow non stop. The inside of the car changed to red. The smile on my face still didn't fade. My right foot pushed back the accelerator without wasting anymore time. The energy flowed to the tyres of the car and complimented every part of the car responsible for acceleration.
For a second my pupils had changed to slits only to change back to normal shape and color.

*Old man's POV
He spoke each and every word without a change on his "innocent smiling" expression. The words he uttered were heard by all the officers behind me because of the mic that was still switched on in his car.
"Some say that my work is wrong only to die like insects under my feet.....how disgusting" He scoffed.
From the looks of it he had stopped talking shit and is getting straight to the point.
I couldn't help but think of that kid as too dangerous if I let him live another second. I will need to properly change his way of the world when he is taken into the training facility.
"The process of those thoughts is wrong," I voiced my thoughts. But the next words he spoke left me appalled.
"Time to learn your place foolish "old man". Don't look at me with those eyes you've got. I will sacrifice your entire bloodline with a smile. Do you think talking to me like that is going to let them live another second? Because I don't mind killing some extras as long as I feel like it." He tilted his head as he said that in my direction even though I was hundred of meters above him.
I didn't feel raged at those words at all. No, anger would be the last thing I was feeling right now. My mind went blank for a second when I heard those words. Each word made my heart skip a beat. I felt utterly stupefied.
My eyes slowly drifted towards the source of this. That kid.
Not the kid exactly but...those eyes.
The slits that shone brighter than the moon. How beautifully they divided the eyes into two halves so symmetrically. The sclera was filled with darkness that was impossible for someone like me to fathom the reason for it. It was as if I was escaping from the reality in those mesmerizing demonic eyes. The amethyst aura that they excluded made everything I had seen until now fail in comparison. I could see something so catastrophic in those eyes that words were not enough to even put it together.
I saw.....death.
The smile he had on his face never moved in the slightest. That was when I understood the calamity we would be facing if we stayed here long enough. The man driving the car made my whole existence feel insignificant when he didn't even do so much as a glance at me.
I understood the risk I had taken to even think of chasing after that psychopath. Well, I realised it too late though.
I heard the kid repeat words in some unknown language which was quite hard for the brain to comprehend but those words were enough to make me feel the dread of death. His horrible and nightmarish voice didn't stop and continued without a pause, sucking the very breath I took.
"I, the one who created abyss, as acclaimed by the unholy gods*,"
"order the doom that stays in my light to act upon my wish*,"
"with the ember of the inferno electrify my demon with a point to the horizon*"
The smile on his face faded slowly into an indifferent expression. Everything was escalating so quickly that not only me but none of us had any other option other that witness the absolute power of one of the ex Ravaleon overseers. It was not as if we could move when a Ravaleon begins using his/her affinities.
His body barely showing any signs of emotion. It felt as if we weren't even facing a human because of the horrific aura his body exuded but with an uncaring face.
"Backstab the traitors*"
"Assist my followers because thou are blameless*"
I heard a sweet melody as he kept pronouncing each word with hidden intent that ran throughout the empty road.
"Pierce thine loved ones*"
Several cars that came out of his control earlier than us took a turn to run but the next words he spoke were a clear indication of a threat.
"There's no use running. You have been stabbing yourself from the moment you had the gal to attack me with those bombs and ammunition when I showed you my face."
I didn't understand what that kid meant at that time but the next second he finished speaking I was sure we were going to.....die here today.
"I order you to spread harmony among each other*"
"Talk so beautifully that the butterflies scream to come out alive*"
"Never ever let go of this majesties instructions even when you are nothing but a grave*"
His eyelids closed slowly upon the last words he spoke.
"Burn the world under this cold night*"
"SERVE ME!!!"
I didn't understand a thing but the sudden change in his expression made me see flags on top of all our heads. The innocent smile returned ringing the bells in my head to think of something.
'Will I make it out alive?"
But that question wasn't needed anymore as the answer was right in front of my eyes.
His car stopped running showing the signs of no energy but what shocked me more was instead of running he slowly stepped out of the car. He laid his back on the car lazily. The fast winds hitting his hair but still no signs of that smile disappearing. The red moonlight straight on brightened his body.
He seemed like a psycho standing like that in front of us when he was running and talking big a minute ago.
He brought out a fruit juice out of his pockets. Removing the straw from the juice pack, then pierced the top of the packs head.....
*Slash* *Zap* *Drrr*
*Slash* *Zap* *Drrr*
*Slash* *Zap* *Drrr*
The soldiers that I was assigned by the duke were shooting, slashing and even grabbing each other like mindless zombies. I was flying on top of the scene making it easier for me to detect most of the changes in the atmosphere.
"STOP IT!! That's an order. Behave like how we were taught from our birth. Number 3477661 stop licking his shoes you TRASH!!," I yelled at all of them but none of them heard a single word I said as they continued their onslaught. A dumb idiot even started licking that bas*ard's feet.
I had no choice here but to go according to my own strategies in this situation.
"Move 66 degrees left and then take a turn to south. After that don't move a millimeter from there,"
I ordered the driver of the helicopter I was staying in while rubbing my temples. Well, it's not as if I can't fight but I am not good enough to stand on front lines but just self defense.
When we reached right where I had asked him to, I threw the microphone to the side and picked up another one.
"You can show yourselves," I said as I closed in to the microphone.
{Looks like you actually hit the wall here, eh}
I sighed when I heard the voice of that woman from the other side.
"Sigh....are you going to send them?" I helplessly asked her.
{Alright, alright. Those slaves of mine will be reaching you soon}
"How many times do I have to tell you that they are not your slaves?"
{Okay I get it, we both share them}
"I meant that they are not anyone's slaves you dumb idiot," I rebuked her statement with a high pitched voice.
{I will be sending them over there} She immediately cut the call. I felt powerless with all the dreams and goals I once had but...
I sighed regretfully again.
