Enlightened

Enlightened (仙人) refers to the next stage of the human race. They are seen as humanity's guardians with much greater strength than ordinary humans and are deemed literal superhumans, with enough power to rival Demon Lord Seeds.

Specific requirements for becoming Enlightened have not been detailed, but they seem to involve engaging in some form of grueling training. Upon completing such a trial, the human will evolve into a higher existence, greatly extending their lifespan and the amount of energy they could work with. Their physical body will transform into a half-spiritual state. Enlightened also have very strong wills and thus are much more difficult for demons to manipulate or to crush their hearts. Many of the strongest warriors have risen to the rank of Enlightened.

Personality
Enlightened typically are less prone to emotional swings and tend to have a keen intellect. Their vast battle experience and calm minds allow them to be deadly on the battlefield and very good at analyzing situations off of the battlefield.

Abilities
Enlightened are known to have very high battle abilities, but the actual skills they wield will vary greatly. They seem to be able to take advantage of the abilities of legendary class armor and weapons.

Trivia

 * One other translation for "仙人" is "Sage", but since the Extra skill Sage already exists, it just brings annoying complications. Hence, Yen Press' translation of the term, "Enlightened," has been deemed the more optimal choice.
