But while their faith strengthened them, it also altered their genes.
Generation after generation of children are born, each stronger than the last.
The emperors generally tacitly agreed to choose the most talented child to inherit the throne.
All in an effort to break the limits of lifespan and allow future generations to live longer.
The Karencia Empire thrived in this territory.
From Saul II to Saul III, and then to Saul IV,
Until Saul VII.
A special guest has arrived in the Karencia Empire.
A gigantic bear-man appeared silently in a corner of the Karencia Empire.
They knocked on the door of what appeared to be an ordinary family mansion.
The Clevner Family
In reality, this family did not hold any prominent position.
They were unremarkable within the empire, and had never even produced any nobles; they had only accumulated some wealth through commerce.
In the Karencia Empire, where there was virtually no war, most families found it difficult to achieve significant military exploits.
But why would this enormous bear-man appear here?
When the young head of the family walked out the door.
Upon seeing this bear-man, as tall as a mountain, capable of blocking out the sunlight and able to destroy an entire house with his bare hands,
He admitted that he was genuinely scared.
However, the enormous bear-man simply said calmly:
"Please take me in, I will do anything."
"Including training your children to make your descendants the strongest generals."
These words, half pleading and half threatening, finally got the young head of the family to agree.
The bear-man got his wish and became the family's steward, and began to serve the family.
But only the bear-man himself knows the reason behind all of this.
Not long after, the head of the family welcomed a son.
He was named 'Tisnato' and was trained in martial arts by bear-men from a young age.
The patriarch was astonished to discover that his child truly possessed a natural talent for becoming a powerful warrior.
However, did the Clevner family ever have any warriors?
All he remembered was an ancestor who left behind a set of fiery red armor and an unopenable treasure chest.
Moreover, the Karencia Empire has enjoyed peace for many years, and the emperor is the strongest, with imperial power supreme.
This means the country doesn't need many other soldiers.
The Clevina family then followed the trend of the times and began doing business within the Karencia Empire.
Until this generation, the appearance of that mysterious bear-man unexpectedly rekindled their family's hidden warrior talent.
He was too old to be a warrior, so the bear-man chose to train his child?
The patriarch watched the training of the bear-man and Tisnato.
But his gaze gradually wandered, eventually settling on the red armor in the family's storeroom.
What exactly is the purpose of this bear-man?
Day after day, Tisnato grew into adulthood.
Under the rigorous training of the bear-men for many years, and thanks to Tisnato's own great talent,
He truly became a powerful warrior, standing out from the crowd.
The patriarch, now middle-aged, bestowed this armor upon Tisnato.
And tell him that this is armor left behind by our ancestors.
Perhaps it has survived until now precisely because it exists for you.
Tisnato donned the Hellfire Armor and inherited its power.
After training, he had become extremely powerful, and with the added strength of the Hellfire General, he was invincible.
At this time, the Kingdom of Kant, through its continuous annexation of other countries' territories, eventually came to border the Empire.
The empire's prosperity aroused the covetousness of the Kingdom of Kant.
This nation, which had grown stronger through waging war, then realized that the empire's territory was actually so prosperous.
As a result, small-scale frictions continue to occur along the border between the two countries.
But everyone realized that these were all harbingers of war.
Despite its prosperity, the empire had never experienced war, and the outside world knew nothing about its military strength.
Amidst widespread panic, the empire began issuing orders to conscript soldiers.
The seventeen-year-old prince personally led the army into battle, relying on his feat of slaying a dragon single-handedly.
Tisnato also saw this as an opportunity, a chance for his family to rise to prominence.
So he donned armor, joined the army, and went to war.
After several battles, he met Prince Aubrey, who was only seventeen years old.
Ultimately, the emperor issued a call to war against the Kingdom of Kant.
This battle lasted for more than ten years.
By the time the Kingdom of Kant and the Empire of Karencia reached a truce, Tisnato's fame had spread far and wide.
On the battlefield, he was like a roaming demon from hell, becoming the feared General Clevner.
Until the death of the previous emperor, when Saul VIII ascended the throne.
As the war ended, Aubrey began planning to reward his wartime comrades.
Tisnato, however, left temporarily.
...
That night, the bear-man finally confessed his purpose to Tisnato.
"The reason I trained you and made you stronger is because you have the blood of the 'Hellfire General' flowing through your veins."
Only the descendants of the Hellfire General can wear the Hellfire Armor, and only those who wear this armor can freely traverse the underworld.
The reason the bear-men sought out the Clavner family was because they were the only family that still retained the bloodline of the Hellfire General.
Those who wear Hellfire Armor have the privilege of freely entering and leaving Hell, a unique gift bestowed upon human heroes by Hades.
In fact, from beginning to end, the bear people had only one goal.
