Demon is the best translation in my opinion. I remember that Aru didn't like Demon King because it implied that it was always male and didn't like Dark Lord because it wasn't consistent with Demon King (hence why he wanted Demons and Demon King). Dark Lord originally came from Alicesoft but it's not like they can be trusted when it comes to romanizing.

Fiend not only sounds awful it's arguably an inaccurate translation since 魔人 does not imply evil, which fits the Demons of the Rance World that are not inherently malevolent or evil. Fiend is often a more savage and violent representation of Demons or Devils and doesn't really fit well for them.
