Returning with the Traitor

William wasted no time. With a burst of speed, he launched himself at the closest enemy - the woman from the cabin. Xavier reacted instantly, summoning a wall of earth to shield his sister, just as he had done in the cave.

But this time, it was different. William didn't slow down. His fist, imbued with incredible force, slammed into the earthen barrier. The wall shattered like glass, the fragments exploding outwards. William continued his relentless advance, closing in on the terrified woman.

Xavier's desperate cry, "Be careful!" echoed through the clearing.

She tried to evade the attack, but it was futile. William's fist connected with her chest in a devastating blow. A gaping hole appeared where her heart had been, her life extinguished in an instant.

Even William was stunned by the sheer power he wielded. It was beyond anything he could have imagined.
