Personally I don't think the Demon of Lust died when Venomania was stabbed; Gast didn't just feel rash and have clouded thoughts, he heard an actual voice talking to him in Daughter of Fog--seems like it would be more than just remaining magic when that's the case. It was likely just weakened or shook up from being attacked with the Golden Key. Similarly, the Demon of Gluttony didn't die just from coming into contact with poison amplified with Key shavings, but was weakened by it.

(Since Venomania is the one who was injured and the demon technically does not have a body, I would assume the host being stabbed with the Key has the same effect on the demon as the host ingesting it, maybe even less so.)

Also, Alexiel:

 1. Banica became the new demon because she   devoured  the old one, not just because the old one died.

2. Where did you get that Venomania promised to give Irina his soul? Or that Irina even wanted his soul? There's nothing supporting this in our existing material.
