They don't get conquered because Ilias baptizes humans and presumably steps in if the monsters get too aggressive, the same way the monster lord can go after Ilias as in the beginning of the game.

That was the entire reason for the standoff, because when Ilias was fighting the Monster Lord it was destroying the entire world.

Humans ARE weaker than every monster. Luka can lose at any moment through unbreakable binds and only succeeds because he is assisted heavily by the monster lord and has the spirits as well as a special weapon. Even then they have to go easy on him or he is allowed to skip fights storywise that he'd otherwise lose. And on top of that he isn't even actually human, he relies heavily on his angel strength.

Humans however are the only non-essential beings on that planet too. If Ilias just allowed the monsters to kill all the humans the light-dark balance wouldn't be affected to begin with, however she has an interest in humans and does protect them. The story is a bit strange and inconsistent, but it does show monsters are easily stronger.
