Belial the Serpent Dragon is a supporting character in the main storyline of Erion Saga book series, it is a kind hearted dragon that was enslaved by the evil sorcerer Beldor. It is fought several times, as the dragon is being controlled by Beldor's magic. However, when not enslaved, the dragon is rather passive, showing no desire to engage in combat.
As a boss, Belial will attack by attempting to swallow the player, making debris fall from the sky or ceiling, or by regurgitating a large ball of debris that bounces across the playing field.

As the second battle occurs later on, Beldor once again unleashed Belial on the battlefield. However, the dragon was defeated by Gwendolyn, Princess of the Valkyries, who possessed a psypher spear, the only weapon that could harm a dragon.

Final Moments[]
Back in Titania, Beldor and his co-conspirators then sacrifice innocent citizens to Belial, in an attempt to persuade their King, Edmund, to give them the Book of Transformation. The Three Wise Men later led Velvet to Belial, to trap her. Although Belial and Beldor were defeated by the Princess of Valentine, Urzur and Skuldi were able to subdue her while she was distracted and exhausted, taking her prisoner.
Beldor was later confronted by Mercedes, requesting his aid to the route of the Netherworld. Beldor decides to summon Belial once again to attack the Fairy Queen. However, Belial, having formed a bond with Mercedes, defies Beldor's command. Angered, the sorcerer Beldor attempted to force Belial into battle. His abuse of the dragon angered Mercedes, causing her to withdraw her previous offer and present him with a new one: Aid her or die.
After Beldor's defeat, Belial was later loaned into the command of Urzur. The captured Velvet was about to be sacrificed to Belial before being intervened by Cornelius. Belial remorsefully begs Cornelius to end his suffering, declaring he could not bear taking orders from the sorcerers, being forced to attack innocent civilians.
After being defeated by Cornelius, the dying Belial was confronted by Urzur. Urzur attempts to command the dragon, only to be in vain, as the spell surrounding his heart was broken. Finally free at last, Belial uses the last of his strength to finish Urzur off once and for all.
Relationships[]
Prince Cornelius of Titania[]
When Cornelius met Belial, Belial would express his regrets and disgust at being forced to eat humans and to crawl around the sewers of Titania. He would ask Cornelius to free him from his torment, and would battle him. Eventually however Cornelius won and used his sword to pierce Belial's heart. This would both gravely wound and free him from the magic binding his heart. Belial would use this opportunity to exact vengeance on one of his captors, before his death.
Beldor the Green Sorcerer[]
Of the three Wisemen Beldor would use Belial the most, though he would give Urzur control when Cornelius went to Titania. Beldor believes that Belials enslavement is 'loyalty' and would extend this belief for when he controlled Darkova. Later when Beldor attempted to have Belial attack Mercedes again he would use magic to attack his heart.
Urzur the White Sorcerer[]
Urzur would use Belial when Cornelius went to Titania to rescue Velvet. However in the aftermath of the battle Cornelius would pierce Belial's heart and remove the magical enchantment on it. With the last of his strength he would say his final words and devour the Sorcerer dying with him.
