I'll tell you how to customize it later.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kaeryndor didn't even blink. He simply raised his hand and snapped his fingers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A tiny orb, no larger than a marble but pulsing with ancient magic, materialized in his palm. A faint hum vibrated through the air around it a compressed realm, etched with dimensional runes and locked with teleportation coordinates.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He tossed it toward Razeal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Easy.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Razeal caught it without a word.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Second,\" he continued, \"a stone tablet. I'll give you the inscription later. You just need to create it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kaeryndor gave a slow nod. Still manageable. Still insignificant compared to what this boy claimed he'd bring.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Third,\" Razeal said, narrowing his eyes, \"teleport me to the northern region of this trial land.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this, Kaeryndor's face darkened for the first time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A low frown etched across his features.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His fingers twitched faintly a subtle expression of rising caution.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No,\" he said flatly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You're pushing now.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The moment those words left Kaeryndor's mouth, the atmosphere sharpened like the sky holding its breath before a storm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I should've known,\" he muttered. \"These requests were too easy. Too... meaningless. Almost like distractions.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His eyes turned to slits, emreld irises glowing faintly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You're trying to escape, aren't you?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was no rage in his voice only ancient disappointment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You know the rules. No one leaves this place alive after uncovering its secret. Not unless they're chosen. Are you trying to lie to me, boy?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Razeal didn't flinch.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I'm not running,\" he replied, his tone calm but firm. \"I have to leave. To bring him here.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He took a step forward, even as his legs threatened to shake under the weight of Kaeryndor's aura.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Give me just half an hour. That's all I ask. You want someone worthy, don't you? Then let me bring him.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kaeryndor scoffed. \"If I could leave, I'd have fetched them myself.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He crossed his arms, eyes narrowing with suspicion. \"Why should I trust you?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You don't have to.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Razeal's response was sharp. He held Kaeryndor's gaze without faltering.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, slowly, he raised his hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Let's form a Blood Spirit Contract.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kaeryndor's expression flickered, suspicion shifting into mild surprise.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...You'd bind yourself to a soul contract? Just to prove this?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"One hour,\" Razeal said, breath steady but low.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If I don't return with the one I promised or if the Dragon Heart rejects him I'll forfeit my life.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kaeryndor's eyes gleamed faintly, ancient knowledge calculating possibilities.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Razeal continued, \"In exchange, you fulfill all four of my wishes. And during the contract's hour duration, neither of us may harm the other.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even the wind dared not move.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Host...] the system's voice echoed inside his mind, hesitant. [I don't even know what to say anymore. This is beyond insane.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kaeryndor remained still, the ancient wheels in his mind turning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This child knew far too much. Too many buried truths. Yet... what if he was right?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What if the boy truly could bring the one he spoke of?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What if, after all these eons, the wait could finally end?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a long pause, Kaeryndor exhaled slowly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...I'll allow the contract.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Razeal grinned, victory flashing in his eyes. He raised his hand, ready to draw blood\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Wait.\" Kaeryndor's voice stopped him cold.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Tell me your fourth wish first. As for your third, I'll allow it once the contract is formed.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Razeal paused. Just for a moment. A flicker of something unreadable danced across his eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then he exhaled slowly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...The fourth wish.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His voice lowered, a glint of steel hiding behind calm words.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I want the poison of the Fervine Serpent.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That... made Kaeryndor blink.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...What?\" he asked, his voice rising just slightly in surprise.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You're asking for the poison of a sixth-rank, noble class beast?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No i mean Is that it all you want, kid?\" Kaeryndor's voice was calm, but something in his tone suggested disbelief. Not irritation just quiet confusion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For someone about to free him from an eternal duty from hundreds of years of silence, loneliness, and stone these wishes felt... trivial. A pocket realm, a stone tablet, a teleportation, and a vial of venom?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He tilted his head slightly, eyes narrowing. \"Surely that can't be everything.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Razeal didn't flinch.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No. Let me finish the fourth wish,\" he replied evenly, hands clasped behind his back, as if he were discussing nothing more serious than the weather.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kaeryndor smirked faintly. \"Take your time. After all, it's your final wish.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He chuckled, the sound deep and ancient, almost like stone grinding against stone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I almost wonder if you knew those things were all in my treasury. You've practically asked for nothing which i couldn't provide. Everything so far is within my palm.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But then Razeal smiled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That kind of smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The kind that looked harmless. Innocent. A smile that always came before a catastrophe.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Then for my fourth wish,\" he said, \"I want you to put the Fervine Serpent's poison... inside the Dragon Heart.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The air froze.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A strange silence fell over the space as if even time itself didn't want to witness what had just been said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kaeryndor blinked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...Sighh?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His eyebrows twitched.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The tension in the air didn't explode it stalled. Like thunder building in a storm that refused to break.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Say that again,\" he said finally, his voice steady not angry, not scolding. Just... stunned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Razeal's expression didn't change. He simply smiled a little more, as if he had asked for candy instead of defiling a divine artifact.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I want the Fervine Serpent's poison injected into the Dragon Heart,\" he repeated. Calm. Casual. Dead serious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kaeryndor dragged a hand across his face, sighing as his fingers pinched the bridge of his nose.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This kid. Again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He didn't even feel mad he was just... exhausted by the audacity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was like watching someone carefully climb to the top of a mountain only to jump off it laughing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I know,\" he muttered, not looking up. \"I know you're going to explain it. Again.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He exhaled slowly, giving Razeal a tired, sideways glance. \"You pull stunts like this and somehow make it sound reasonable. I don't know why, but I already know you'll say something that makes me hesitate before I crush your skull.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Razeal just shrugged lightly. \"Well, I thought I should mention... the person I'm bringing here? He's my eternal enemy so i...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kaeryndor blinked. \"...Huh?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For a long second, his ancient mind just... froze.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Enemy?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Enemy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You're gifting the Dragon Heart... to your enemy?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That single thought echoed inside Kaeryndor's mind, bouncing between his instincts, his dignity, and the crumbling wall of logic.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He stared at Razeal, searching for sarcasm, jest, madness something.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But all he saw... was sincerity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not warm sincerity. Not noble sincerity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The cold, calculated kind. The type only people like him could understand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You do realize,\" Kaeryndor said slowly, \"that what you're doing is... something even family would kill for. Even blood brothers wouldn't share something like this. And here you are...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He waved a hand vaguely, as if trying to physically catch the absurdity from the air.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Giving it to your enemy?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His spiritual form flickered with rising confusion, wings twitching in disbelief.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Is your brain broken, child? You just spent your life bluffing for this opportunity, and now what? You want to poison the heart and give it away?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He stared again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Are you trying to die? Again?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was so close so close to killing Razeal on principle alone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And yet...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He didn't move.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because, in truth, it wasn't his concern.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Dragon Heart would choose its bearer. Worthy or not, friend or foe it didn't matter to Kaeryndor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His duty was only to safeguard. To test. And to pass the flame when it was finally deserved.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He looked at Razeal in silence, the boy standing there like a noble schemer hiding poison in honey.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a pause, Kaeryndor spoke again, his voice quieter this time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...You don't hate this person that much, do you?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His eyes narrowed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You do know the Fervine Serpent's venom won't actually damage the heart itself. Even in the blood circulation chamber, it can't do more than a few months' harm. At most temporary mana blockage, dull heart pain, blood flow disruption. Three, four months maybe. Then the heart nullifies it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He studied Razeal's expression, trying to read deeper.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Maybe he doeat hate that person. Maybe... he actually like them.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He smirked in his thoughts. Maybe he is just too proud to admit it. Typical children. Say 'enemy' when they mean 'I care.'\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Had Razeal known what Kaeryndor was thinking, he might've vomited.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Out of sheer disgust.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Like them? I'd rather kiss a flaming goblin...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Kaeryndor didn't say anything else. He simply watched.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He still didn't understand the boy's game. But one thing was certain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whatever happened next... would be unforgettable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I allow it,\" Kaeryndor said at last, the weight of the words carrying centuries of duty behind them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He exhaled, shoulders relaxing ever so slightly like a man who had stood guard for too long and was finally allowed to blink.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I mean...\" he muttered under his breath, \"I've protected the Dragon Heart for eons. It can forgive me a little for that blasphemy, right?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The thought echoed quietly within him, not truly convincing but enough to let the moment slide.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It's just a temporary inconvenience, he reasoned. The poison won't truly damage the Dragon Heart. Just a minor disruption. Nothing lasting.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He turned toward Razeal with a tired smile, masking the subtle anxiety still churning beneath the surface.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Alright then,\" he said, voice steady.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So... what do you want me to write on the stone tablet? And how do you want the pocket realm customized?\" His tone shifted practical now, like a craftsman discussing orders, not a guardian of one of the world's rarest legacies.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Kaeryndor paused mid-thought.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because he was suddenly staring at something that deeply unsettled him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Razeal was smiling.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not a smirk. Not a grin of triumph.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No it was the kind of smile a man wore when he found the woman he was ready to propose to.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...What?\" Kaeryndor blinked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The smile on that human's face was far too dazzling, far too pleased.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A cold chill ran up the back of the ancient warden's spiritual spine.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This human hasn't lost his mind... right?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He stared at the boy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Right?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Razeal looked like he'd just received the greatest blessing of his life.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A long, awkward silence filled the air, until\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Cough. Cough.\" Razeal finally snapped out of it, clearing his throat and adjusting his collar with practiced grace.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His grin, however, refused to fade, stretching across his face with smug satisfaction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kaeryndor narrowed his eyes. Something was definitely off. But he didn't press.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile, deep in Razeal's mind\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Host, I beg you...]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The system's voice trembled in his thoughts, sounding both terrified and utterly exhausted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Please. Please tell me you're not planning to gift the Dragon Heart to the protagonist. I can't ah i my circuits ooh host I..]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Razeal's eyes twinkled dangerously as he replied within his mind, tone as casual as a nobleman sipping tea.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Don't worry, System.\" His smirk widened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I'm about to show you how to ruin someone so perfectly... they'll thank you while bleeding.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>---\u003C\u002Fp>",1901,"2026-05-30T02:39:37.588Z","2026-06-01T04:30:03.557Z",1,"novelbin.me","465ff67bee62a39a2d0343245fa80bbf1367e1f23fa515719c804c838f2fbc89","i-have-10-000-sss-rank-villains-in-my-system-spa-chapter-26","i-have-10-000-sss-rank-villains-in-my-system-spa-chapter-24",441,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fi-have-10-000-sss-rank-villains-in-my-system-spa-cover.jpg"]
