At this time, the coalition forces had not even completed the conscription and assembly of soldiers from the entire continent, and the defense line had just begun to be built. Some heroes had not yet grown to S-level strength.
The result was naturally that they were defeated by the surprise attack of the demons.
Even the most important frontline base, Bangisto, fell...
"Charkin, I understand your confusion, but you may have a misunderstanding. The demons—"
“There are actually ways to deal with prohibited areas.”

“… …”
I saw many people looking puzzled.
Irus could only continue:
"Okay, let me explain this..."
"Among the demons, there is a method that can transfer the cost. It can forcibly transfer the negative effects such as the curse suffered to others."
"This method is also effective in suppressing forbidden areas, so they can help some demons escape from the suppression in advance."
"What?!"
Many people in the conference room looked shocked.
"The demons have this ability, but why don't we know about it?"
"That's because this method isn't very effective, or rather..."
"This method essentially falls under the category of curse. In order to use it, several conditions must be met."
"The first condition is that the person being transferred must be of equal strength and have the same race and gender as the person being transferred."
"And there are many different types of demons. While there appear to be many powerful demons, there are often not many of the same species. As a result, the vast majority of high-ranking demons cannot meet the requirements."
"The second condition is that the transfer must be willing by the person undergoing it."
"But the problem is that the cost of transfer is very high. It will extend the time the transferee is suppressed outside the Demon Continent by more than ten times. That basically means they can't leave the Demon Continent until the war is over. Therefore, few demons are willing to do this."
"The Demon King's army has used this method in previous wars, but the number of troops they could deploy each time was limited. Basically, it was just a small elite force, used for harassment operations or to lurk and gather intelligence."
"Because it had little impact on the overall war, there are very few records related to it. Anyone who didn't actually experience it, or who has read a lot of information, will generally overlook it."
“… …”
After listening to Irus's explanation.
In the conference room, everyone looked at each other in confusion.
"If that's the case... then why did it turn out like this this time?"
Someone asked in confusion.
"There are two explanations I can think of."
Irus held up two fingers.
“The first one is a worse situation.”
