Only Lathander would overlook something like this.
As the Dawn Lord, the pollution-like aura radiated by Demons or Devils would dissipate the moment he arrived.
The reason Hill dared let Russell and Carpenter appear in this hall was also that Lathander's presence could naturally offset the pollution caused by two Demon Princes together.
Otherwise, no matter how powerful his purification abilities were, he would not have let Russell and Carpenter take such a risk.
The souls of those two children combined were not even as resilient as Telly's.
Unlike Devils, who were accustomed to restraining their corruption to the utmost and only using it when necessary, even the weakest Demons flaunted their presence arrogantly.

When facing a Demon stronger than themselves, the only way to hide was to blend into a swarm of Imps, not restrain their aura.
That would only get them killed even worse.
And on the Prime Material Plane... any Demon with enough intelligence had no need to hide itself. They preferred possession.
Most Demons that came out, however, simply did not have the intelligence for that and only wanted to display their strength.
Therefore, whenever a Demon's true body appeared, it carried immense pollution with it.
Demon Princes like Demogorgon and Graz'zt were the worst of them all.
