-but it's not her attack that you heard!

A vile black-purple orb of chaotic magic rips through the air and slams into the Succubus' right side: she is knocked-off her feet like a ragdoll, flailing through the air but stuck to the inky black ball as it rolls up through the air at an angle...

The spell collapses, dropping the furious Succubus to the ground some ten meters away from you. "Hrgh- all of you... hrreeehh!" Growls the enraged she-demon, as she stands and grabs her crescent horns again to try and finish whatever she was casting!

A hooded and robed figure steps closer into view: a wand is in one of their seemingly aged hands, while the other turns palm-up to conjure a rotating and flipping black cube with luminous purple lines defining its edges. The planes of the cube abruptly separate-

-then reassemble as a much larger black rectangle enclosing the Succubus' body! Astoundingly, it shrinks down to its former size, but continues diminishing until the block fizzles-out of existence as just a tiny particle of black static.

Your heart is still racing: vaguely, you have some recollection that you and Noire- who's still on her knees and clutching her shoulder- have been rescued.
