It didn't matter if the warriors that challenged her could in fact match her or not ; my point was that the vore part at the very least (and thus the one assured death) was implied to be most likely to happen, or happen only, in case of a foolish human champion trying to challenge the Queen of Succubi.

Alma Elma, as a succubus, does have an actual need to drain humans. But in Luka's case, she does *not* do that in the Colliseum, despite her being *easily* able to overwhelm his wind. Instead, she gives him hints on how to use the power of wind. Even as he does improve with the wind, he's completely *nothing* against her own skill, so technically she can just beat him and satisfy an important physical need of herself (without killing him as she would be disqualified; monsters are allowed to rape the losers, though, and Alma Elma can do her job just fine without killing the man) - instead, she gives up, allowing Luka to collect the Orb that would later be neccessary for him to go to Hellgondo - ASSUMING she knew of the Orb, that's another significant help.

And my point was indeed that she simply leaves after Luka's fights without having the need to do so. Against Luka in the last fight, Alma Elma doesn't fight seriously; she doesn't use martial arts at all, even the basic ones. She is willing to step down right after teaching him the power of wind (she fights at his request), which is neccessary for him to challenge all of the other Heavenly Knights save maybe Erubetie. She also suggests his Serene Mind is imperfect and insufficient on its own (which proves crucial against Granberia later).

The point I'm essentially making is that Alma Elma, while being a selfish little c... kitten without any qualms about killing anyone, actually *does* take the effort to help a human that works towards coexistence when the chance presents itself, rather than just going even half-out against him at any point during their journey, raping him like she'd do anyone. Seeing potential in another person, she helps him develop it and generally does nothing (out of a myriad things she can do) to stop him from realizing his dream of coexistence, instead helping him create a world which would be a little bothersome for her if she indeed reveled in draining humans to their death.

Basically, she does the right thing at the right moment. She only does that for one person and at an only moderate effort, but she does do a minor self-sacrifice to create a world of peace, implying she doesn't hate humans at all nor does she think of them as "things that must be destroyed/controlled". They're food to her, yes, but food she'd actually like to and would fondly get along with.
