WN/Rimuru's Twelve Guardian Lords

Rimuru's Twelve Patrons are the top 12 executives of Rimuru Tempest. They are those subordinates who have been awakened as True Demon Lords and have been bestowed a title of a "Lord".

Technically, Rimuru has a total of 14 subordinates who have been awakened as True Demon Lords, but only 12 of them have been granted a "Lord" title.

Among them, 7 were awakened after successfully defending against the Eastern Empire and the remaining 5 were awakened before the Tenma War, after Guy had given Rimuru 500,000 souls to evolve Mizari and Hirari.

These executives are:
 * "Flare Lord" Benimaru
 * "Star Lord" Ranga
 * "Dragon Lord" Gabil
 * "Barrier Lord" Gerudo
 * "War Lord" Shion
 * "Demon Lord" Diablo
 * "Chimeric Lord" Kumara
 * "Mist Lord" Zegion
 * "Gehenna Lord" Adalman
 * "Killer Lord" Testarossa
 * "Pain Lord" Ultima
 * "Menace Lord" Carrera

Chronology
Rimuru initially had 945,000 souls after defeating the Eastern Empire. He used 10,000 souls to partially revive 700,000 Empire soldiers, 700,000 souls to awaken 7 of his subordinates, 5,000 souls to name Wenti, and 20,000 souls to let Ramiris name the Four Dragon Kings, thus leaving him with 210,000 souls.

Right when the ceremony was done, Guy Crimson, who was surprised at the sudden awakening of several Demon Lords, came flying and demanded an explanation and after having conversed with Rimuru, requested that he awaken his two subordinates, Mizari and Hirari, as well. Accepting, Rimuru requested Guy for 500,000 souls with Raphael's advice.

Although the ability of Gluttonous King Beelzebuth required around 100,000 souls to evolve a capable being into True Demon Lords who did not have the Demon Lord's Seed (so he actually only needed to request for 200,000), Raphael took the chance and asked for more since Guy did not know of the actual soul requirements. This took into account all of Rimuru's remaining subordinates who were capable of evolution.

Once Mizari and Hirari arrived, instead of directly using 100,000 on each, directly, Rimuru steadily injected them with souls until they started evolution. This caused him to use only 180,000 souls total, and leaving him with 530,000 souls in stock.

Later, before the Tenma War began, Rimuru evolved his remaining "Lords".
