No matter what, though, Hell Demon King is definitely wrong. Unless you take a very liberal approach and say that 閻鬼 means Enki and that this is a clever way of saying Enma (ma as in 魔, the kanji used for "Devils" in this setting; anyway, Enma is the ruler of hell) but rephrasing it for the "Oni" racial system of monsters.

However, this is very eroneous (upon reconsideration, after having suggested this long ago; you could still think of it as a deliberate double meaning to her racial name, but it shouldn't be how the kanji is translate) because it misleads one into thinking that Asue's race is still within the Lord classification of Oni rather than her having a taken a step away and become more, say, monstrous like Kichi (as opposed to Rou who became more like humans when he evolved from an Ogre into a Lord).
