Clerics of the Seven Luminaries

Clerics of the Seven Luminaries (七曜の老師) or Seven Luminaries (七曜) for short, are the highest consultants of the Western Holy Church.

Background
Each one of them had surpassed the average Enlightened. They are legendary figures who have even trained Heroes in the past. They have completely masked their presence from the public eye and become legends that are only said to live in fairy tales.

There is only a small group of people who have actually witnessed them, even among the Western Holy Church, only a few high-ranking officials have had the opportunity to meet them.

The "Trials of Seven Luminaries" that Hinata once went through was created by them. It was a trial used to select Champions and Heroes.

They are responsible for overseeing different organizations and training new knights. All of these assignments are given by Luminous. Yet before Hinata came into her position, the Crusaders was an organization with only their name but nothing to back it up, due to them secretly sabotaging the potential talents.

The Seven Luminaries are actually strong Humans who have received Luminous' blessing and were given a long lifespan in exchange for their services.

Chronology
Because they feared that the Priest Adalman would surpass them, they sent him to his death to face a Death Dragon.

They also tried to pit Hinata Sakaguchi against Demon Lord Rimuru Tempest, as they were afraid of losing Luminous' favor.

They met their end when they were killed by Nikolaus, Diablo and Luminous herself after their plot to eradicate both Hinata and Rimuru was exposed.

Abilities
It is said that each one of them has surpassed the average Enlightened.
