It's probably a translation mistake. The way I see it is that the translators are focusing on the fact that Ashera becomes "Asuramaru". The Asura are a class of beings related to the more benevolent Deva but the Asura are normally depicted as "malevolent". In this case, Asuramaru is a demon and as such, is tied to the usually "malevolent" definition of Asura. Perhaps the translators decided to keep his name "Asura Tepes" to further cement this connection.
