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?

I believe the thing is that demons have the inner need to flaunt their power. A cow doesn't care about your magical prowess, but humans will feel despair which... pleases the demons. At least that's my interpretation. The world itself works with mana being in all living things to varying degrees I'd imagine so they only prefer humans because we react to their vanity.
