Explanation

In "Down went the Great Demon," the part in italics is "the Great Demon," which is the subject. Even though the sentence is inverted (the verb comes first for emphasis), "the Great Demon" is still the subject - it's what performed the action of going down. This is a stylistic variation where the predicate begins with the directional adverb "Down."
