The ground trembled as golden sigils ignited beneath each priest, their radiant glow spreading outward in strange patterns. A second, identical array shimmered into existence above them, forming a glowing dome of divine geometry.
An even larger sigil appeared at the very center—beneath the Thrall. The demon snarled, its sunken eyes darting between the priests. It flexed its claws, preparing to lunge—
SHRRAAK!
Golden chains erupted from the sigils, launching toward the beast like striking vipers. They wrapped around its arms, torso, and neck, tightening and pulling it down with an unnatural force.
BAM!
The Thrall hit the ground with a loud bang, but it didn't give up. The demon thrashed, its shrieks echoing into the forest, but the harder it fought, the hotter the chains burned.
Its body convulsed as back veins pulsed beneath its ashen skin, its muscles spasming as if being torn apart from the inside.
