Knights of Astaroth

The Knights of Astaroth are one of the countless factions working for Leohart's Cult and its main original ideology, the Revelation of Qliphoth on Prime Earth and worship Ara Astaroth as the true salvation of mankind, forcing extremists laws that she will awake the dark side of mankind, what was always suppose to be their true face.

The Knights are the most powerful humans in the world, who are "heroes" that protect the Ara's territories from invasions from other enemy nations, it's said their power is vast superior of Meta-Humans and Cyborgs as they are daemon-humans. They are a group of terrifying individuals, with each able to match an entire country's army in strength and power, and having magic that transcends human knowledge imbued within their bodies.

They appears as antagonist in LOTM: Sword of Kings AA Final - Eckidina Arc: Unit-CM 130 Arc and later for the rest of story as deadly enemies of the Rogues alongside Ara's Sin Archbishops, cultists, demons and fallen angels.

The Knights were the result of experimentation with the demonic blood on Apprentice Holy Knights. The apprentices that were compatible with the blood had their power greatly increased, while those that were incompatible experienced a violent death as their bodies rejected the blood and exploded. Unlike their predecessors (Meta-Humans), the Knights maintained their human form but could be identified by their characteristic black eyes that gave them the appearance of being possessed. While not nearly as powerful as the Meta-Humans, they were much easier to control and retained their sanity.

A notable side effect of consuming the demon's blood was a loss of empathy and increased belligerence. This inherent hostility could be observed in many of the Knights. Further experiments on the Knights resulted in the "deciphering of parts of dark magic", giving Ara Astaroth full control over their minds. This power allowed her to forcefully transform the Knights into demonic monsters, making them virtually indistinguishable from their precursors.
