Chapter 1 - The infernal bladebearer

In a world where the realms of humans and demons often clashed, a boy named Liron was born under a blood-red moon.

His mother, a brave human, fell in love with a demon warrior seeking refuge from the eternal wars of hell. Though their love was true, it was doomed from the start. On the night of Liron's birth, his father was hunted down and kidnapped by the forces of Satan.

Liron's mother fled, raising him in secret in the wilderness, teaching him about the resilience of humanity and his father's heroism. But as Liron grew, his infernal legacy began to emerge. At age 10, flames danced along his fingertips, and by age 15 he could summon walls of fire that consumed everything in their path. His eyes burned like coals, and his strength surpassed that of any human.

One fateful night, Satan declared open war on humanity, unleashing legions of demons to conquer the mortal world. Villages were burned, cities were destroyed, and innocent lives were lost. Liron's mother was kidnapped like his father in prison, beaten by a demon general, she told Liron, "You have the power to end this. Fight for humanity, fight for me, and fight for the father you never knew." Consumed with grief and rage, Liron vowed to kill Satan himself and end the war. To do so, he needed a weapon powerful enough to pierce the Lord of Hell's armor. Journeying into the volcanic mountains where dragons roamed and the air stank of sulfur, Liron sought out the great dragon Ignisfang, who guarded the legendary Fangs of Eternity. After a grueling battle that tested his fiery powers, Liron defeated the dragon and claimed two of its great fangs.

Later, Liron descended into a forgotten demon forge deep within the confines of Hell. There, he battled countless foes to claim the Horns of Malak, relics of an ancient demon king. Combining dragon teeth and demon horns, Liron forged two swords, each pulsing with unholy, fiery energy. He named them Infernum and Ignisfang, blades that burned hotter than any flame and bore the weight of his dual heritage.

With his weapons in hand, Liron trained relentlessly, mastering the art of combat and perfecting his firepower. His flames no longer raged uncontrollably; they became tools of precision and destruction. Along his journey, he found allies among the remnants of humanity: a sorceress named Lyra who wielded light magic and a rogue demon named Vark who sought redemption for his kind.

Together, they carved a path through the armies of Hell, igniting a rebellion that inspired humans and demons alike to defect. The trio's ultimate goal was to storm Satan's fortress at the heart of Hell: the Black Fortress, a place where the skies burned forever and rivers of molten lava flowed.

The final confrontation came when Liron stood before Satan himself, a towering figure shrouded in darkness and flame. Satan mocked him, calling him a "half-breed fool" and claiming that no one could defy the King of Hell. But Liron's resolve was unwavering. He unleashed his fiery rage, clashing with Satan in a battle that shook the foundations of Hell.

Using Infernum and Ignispang, Liron deflected Satan's attacks and struck blow after blow, his human heart giving him the strength to endure and his demon blood granting him the strength to fight on equal terms.

In a climactic moment,Liron poured every ounce of his fire into his blades, plunging them into the demon's chest. The Lord of Hell roared in agony as his form crumbled to ash, his reign of terror finally over.

Though victorious, Liron knew the war was far from over. Hell was leaderless, its legions scattered but still dangerous. Kael had become a symbol of hope for humanity, a bridge between two worlds, and a relentless warrior dedicated to protecting the innocent.

With Infernum and Ignispang at his side, Liron vowed to keep fighting until both humanity and Hell found peace - or until his own flames burned out.

How many demons had he slain?

Liron's path to confronting the demon was steeped in blood and fire. By the time he reached the Black Keep, he had slain over 10,000 demons, each death marking a step closer to his ultimate goal.

Among his kills were:

Infernal Generals: Mighty commanders who led the armies of Satan, each possessing unique abilities that tested Liron's strength and cunning.

Countless Soldiers: Throngs of lesser demons who fell to his fiery swords as he carved his way through their ranks.

Hell Beasts: Huge monsters, part demon, part creature, bred solely for destruction. One of the most notable was the Molten Leviathan, a serpent the size of a castle, which he single-handedly defeated by igniting its interior.

Liron did not rejoice in the slaughter, but he understood the necessity of his actions.

For every demon he destroyed, more innocent life might be saved. At the end of his journey, the demons whispered his name in fear, calling him the "Bladebearer of Infernal," the half-demon who had turned the wrath of Hell against himself.

Liron managed to free his mother and father and they live a happy life (Liron's path of revenge and redemption took a staggering toll on the forces of Hell.
