The non-Golden-eyed demons are mostly hiding in hiding now, avoiding the human race. The reason for this is because there was once a brave man from another world who preached about the danger of gold-eyed demons becoming gold-eyed. At that time, a campaign was carried out to wipe out the demons that were already living there. As a result, many of the already-dwelling demons went into hiding.
