"How about it? Isn't it a worthwhile deal?" Medel smiled.

As other wizards approached, some were ready to make a move and snatch it, but upon seeing the standoff between Medel and Herag, they hesitated.

They didn't want to provoke Medel, so they decided to wait and see how the situation developed.

If they acted now, not only would it offend Medel, but there was also the issue of whether they could defeat him, as Medel was not alone.

Herag, holding the World Staff, said, "No need, I'm not interested in this deal."

"Mr. Herag, I advise you to think carefully before answering." Though Medel still wore a smile, his expression had turned cold, and his words were full of threats.

Herag ignored him and instead opened his arms with a smile, saying, "Is this what it feels like to become the Master of the World? Truly fascinating."

Seeing that he was being ignored, Medel, already filled with anger, couldn't hold back anymore.

He said coldly, "Herag, if you don't hand that thing over to me, I will kill all your family and friends. Oh right, according to the information, you have no family, you were even just a stable servant before."

"However, I remember you do have some friends, right? Those people from the Cheqi Family, your old acquaintances on the Coleson Continent. You should be clear, with my means, dealing with these people is way too easy."

"World Staff, give it to me. Otherwise, not only you, all those people you know will die."

Medel had obviously conducted a detailed investigation into Herag, researching all his experiences, even knowing about matters on the Coleson Continent.

Medel's threat was now naked, abandoning all pretenses.

Primarily because he wasn't confident in taking down Herag; with the Teleportation Ring at hand, Herag could leave at any moment, and Medel wasn't confident enough to instantly kill Herag.

In this situation, Medel adjusted his tactics.

He used information previously gathered to threaten Herag with the people he knew, making Herag apprehensive.

This way, perhaps he could get Herag to voluntarily hand over the World Staff without having to lift a finger.

After hearing Medel's words, Herag gripped the staff, glaring at Medel expressionlessly.

Seeing this, Medel was pleased and said, "Angry? That means my threat is effective. Hand over the World Staff obediently if you don't want those people to die painfully."

Although Herag showed no expression, Medel still keenly sensed the change in Herag's emotions.

Seeing Herag's anger indicated that these threats were, in fact, effective against him.

Medel wasn't really sure about Herag's relationship with these people, he was simply testing.

Suddenly, a golden giant enveloped Medel's body.

At the same time, a loud noise resounded behind Medel.

He turned around to see Herag, who somehow suddenly appeared behind him, throwing a punch.

This punch carried great power, directly triggering the Blessing Spell on Medel, the Giant Spirit Guardian.

The Giant Spirit Guardian is a Level 2 blessing-type spell that automatically activates to resist an attack when the blessed faces life-threatening danger.

This punch by Herag directly activated the Giant Spirit Guardian, meaning under normal circumstances, this punch could have killed Medel instantly.

Seeing the Giant Spirit Guardian, Herag wasn't surprised; it was normal for someone like Medel to have protective spells.

He had just used Spatial Rules to appear directly behind Medel.

Herag's punch was completely blocked by the Giant Spirit Guardian, and he immediately threw another punch, but it was still blocked, indicating this was not a single-use spell.

Seeing that even the Giant Spirit Guardian was activated, Medel was terribly frightened; he knew what this meant.

Medel never imagined Herag would be so decisive; he never expected Herag would dare to strike intending to kill him.

When he looked back at Herag, he only saw calmness and a determination to kill in Herag's eyes.

Medel was really a bit afraid now; he didn't want to die at the hands of someone like Herag.

In his view, he was destined to become a Level 4 or even Level 5 wizard in the future, how could he die here like this?

Medel didn't plan to fight Herag to the death; he valued his life much more highly than Herag's.

He initially wanted to force Herag to compromise through threats, to hand over the World Staff.

Unexpectedly, Herag's decisive move forced him to abandon this idea.

Seeing that Herag had indeed struck, and with lethal intent, Medel realized there was no room for negotiations anymore.

Winning or snatching the staff seemed impossible now as Herag was neither being intimidated nor appeased.

"You just wait; once I'm back, we'll settle this account." Medel stared fiercely at Herag before reluctantly activating his Teleportation Ring to vanish.

He didn't want to risk his life, he had to teleport out while the Giant Spirit Guardian was active.

If he delayed any longer, he might not get another opportunity to leave.

The Giant Spirit Guardian is effective for only a few minutes, capable of resisting even standard spells of Level 2 wizards within that time frame.

Herag's fist wasn't strong enough to break through the Giant Spirit Guardian yet, at least not in his current form.

Seeing Medel teleport away, Herag had no way to stop him.

With the Teleportation Ring in play, there was no way to keep someone if they weren't killed instantly.

The Expedition Team provided these Teleportation Rings to minimize the wizards' casualties as much as possible.

Herag glanced around at the other wizards, who, upon noticing his gaze, warily stepped back.

Many had witnessed Herag suddenly appear behind Medel.

They all knew Herag could now potentially control a certain level of Rule Power; engaging him now would be unwise.

The wizards began to teleport back, recognizing that Herag had taken control of the world, staying would only increase their danger.

As Herag watched them leave one by one, he thought for a moment and activated his Teleportation Ring to leave as well.

He needed to hurry back to prepare for Medel's retaliations, being even a few steps late could render escape from the Central Region impossible.

Medel would certainly unleash a storm of revenge against him.

If it were only himself, it wouldn't be as concerning, but if Medel targeted Reese, David, and others, the consequences could be dire.

Given Medel's status, if he decided to deal with him, Herag didn't think he would receive much help.
