The Superior Rebirth: A Hero's Awakening

The Unleashing of the Dragon

The bandit leader stood there in utter disbelief, but Xavier didn't say a word and merely appeared before the children the bandit leader and his men had kidnapped, instantly.

"What the hell? When did he get there?", the bandit leader thought to himself in panic.

Xavier calmly untied the children, asking with a smile, "Are you guys okay?".

With tears in their eyes, the children nodded, saying, "Yes" to Xavier's question.

Xavier then instructed the children to run as far away as possible, and to alert the knights in a near Guardhouse.

The children complained, and immediately ran out of the massive abandoned building, leaving Xavier there all by himself with the vicious bandits.

With his golden hair billowing in the wind that swept through the abandoned building, Xavier stood there calmly. His gaze was icy as he coldly questioned the bandit leader, "Who sent you to assassinate me?

The bandit leader scoffed, and answered, "And why exactly would I answer that question?".

Xavier remained quiet with a cold expression, and the bandit leader, smirked sinisterly, stating, "There's no need for me to tell you who sent me since you're going to be dead soon anyway".

With his physical attributes monstrously amplified by RealmHeart, Xavier took a single step forward, unleashing a powerful burst of air that swept through the room, scattering everything in its path. The sheer force of it sent a shiver of terror through the bandit leader, who, now visibly shaken by Xavier's overwhelming power, desperately yelled at his men, ordering them to ambush Xavier and bring him his head.

As they all immediately rushed at Xavier, one of them with their sword in hand, thrust his sword at Xavier. Who calmly and swiftly sidestepped to his right. Xavier then instantly slammed the man's face into the ground with great force it created a crater.

The bandit leader watched in pure disbelief and terror, as Xavier swiftly dodged every one of the attacks thrown at him, back-slapping one of the bandit leader's men in the face without even looking at them, sending them flying into the walls.

As Xavier fended off the bandits' ambush, one of them caught him off guard, driving a blade into his back. But with a swift, powerful grip, Xavier snapped the blade in half, then delivered a crushing backhand to the bandit's jaw, sending him reeling.

Just as Xavier turned to continue the fight, his attention was drawn to the leader of the bandits, who held one of the escaped children at knifepoint. The leader's eyes gleamed with menace as he threatened to slit the girl's throat if Xavier didn't stop his attack immediately.

"Let the girl go, you crazy coward!", Xavier shouted at the bandit leader in anger.

Suddenly, one of the bandits attempted to strike Xavier from behind with a metal pipe, but Xavier merely stopped the attack with his bare hands, saying coldly, "The same moves won't work on me".

But at that moment, as Xavier turned his head back to the bandit leader, he watched in disbelief and shock as the man, with a cruel smile, slowly yet swiftly sliced the little girl's throat. Xavier's heart sank as the horrific scene unfolded before his eyes, leaving him momentarily paralyzed by the sheer brutality.

As the girl's body fell to the ground, the bandit leader began to laugh maniacally, saying, "I told you to stop your resistance. And now that poor girl had to pay for your foolish mistake".

Xavier stood frozen in disbelief as the girl's lifeless body slumped to the ground. The bandit whose weapon Xavier had stopped attempted to wrench it free, but it was futile. Xavier's grip was unyielding, his strength overwhelming, as he remained motionless like an immovable statue, his eyes locked on the tragic scene before him.
