TECHNICALLY speaking it should be "Asfel Raja" or something like that, since that's the Rubi above it. The "e" in it probably needs an accent of some sort, though.

The actual kanji for it is this: 【・亜種】.

To be honest, the reason people probably put "King" in the first place is that this kanji is part of the word for "Yama/Enma", as in the King of the Underworld (which is 閻魔). The kanji by itself just means "Town".

I consulted my friend about this and he was like: ...I can't really make any sense of that, either.

However, if you look at the chinese translation of it (yes, some of these are actually chinese characters on their own), it means "Town Gate/Gate of a Lane"...so...it's probably supposed to be something like "Hell Gate Demon" or something like that.

However, looking at 【・亜種】, which is what she was before...the first part of that,  the "Earth" bit, is pretty close to the "Asu" portion of her rank up name. The main difference being that there's no elongation katakana. I guess it's technically possible that he made a mistake and it's supposed to be  アス フェール ラージャ, as in 3 different words. However, that would leave the middle word making absolutely zero sense (becuase it would be Earth Fail Raja or something lik ethat...assuming he just messed up on the Earth part).

Therefore, it should just be "Hell Gate Demon" and/or "Asfel Raja"...but it shouldn't be Hell Demon King, as you said, heh. A lot of these species names don't actually make a whole lot of sense  it seems, though. Especially the later ones. =x
