I think Belialuin was actually a demon and the city where Merlin was born.

More than just a city Belialuin was probably the "Resistance" HQ or the "Rebel" city. Imo Belial was Merlin's father and also the demon king's previous brother or friend, but after see the world situation he took a different path and many among the others races followed him and so the Belialuin city was born.

My guess is that in Belialuin the discrimination between races didn't exist and because of this, half-children were born making the goddesses\demons displeased with these "abominations", so they atked the city killing not only the children but the other ppl including Elizabeth who was cursed for protecting them and sacrificing herself to seal the demons and Meliodas who couldn't protect anyone and blamed himself for this. When he woke up (now cursed with immortality) he sweared vengance, but when he was leaving the city he found one only survivor between the rubbles and it was Melin, the daughter of his friend Belial who died protecting her during the massacre, he tended to her wounds and explained everything that happened and since them, they parted ways because Meliodas was following the path os revenge and didn't want to involve Merlin, she on the other hand started to make use of what she could do best: Her magic, with this she casted upon herself a time-stop magic and used infinity" with this she guaranteed her immortality and the time she needed to plan her own revenge, so, during theses centuries Merlin had a master but easily surpassed him and in some more years she was the one taking her own apprentices but with the purpose of finding someone who could be used was a good weapon and so, years later she found Arthur.

Btw, i think Merlin's father was a demon and her mother a goddess or druid because in chapter 125 where she was already petrified by Galan and is inside Aldan she says that probably the only thing that could resist the commandments were the power of the goddesses, and in chapter 191 Merlin said that she had a natural resistance to the commandments. But since she uses dark magic,I believe her mother could be a goddess or a druid ( I suspect a druid is more fitting since she appeared in chapter 182 wearing clothes like druid and holding a staff) and their love was forbidden like the others in Belialuin and Meliodas(demon) +Elizabeth(goddess).
