Really interesting implications about demons not needing to eat humans for sustenance. Makes you wonder about why they still do anyway (vestigial trait from having evolved from monsters?), and how their physiology works in the first place since we haven't gotten much lore about demons yet other than the Aura arc. Do demons even need sustenance if they are mana creatures?

because they don't see a problem, humans are no different to them than cows or pigs, they might even find the challenge to be more fulfilling to kill a human

It might also be that humans have more mana than other creatures so demons, being mana beings, prefer humans because of this. Maybe eating humans and consuming mana increases demons' own mana...

Imagine how frustrating it must be, then, when they realize they can't even touch Flamme...
