Sam's [Eternal Barrier] was quickly wearing down under the crushing grip of the sixth [Forsaken Lord].

In an instant, thick [Abyss Chains] burst from the ground, coiling tightly around Sam's limbs.
They dragged him down, binding him in place, and refused to budge no matter how much strength he used.
