The Dark Magus agreed without hesitation, conjuring a portal that would transport Trent out of the Dark Side and back into the open regions of the Paradox. His mission to drag Nightingale into the darkness wasn't over yet, though. Trent knew that someday he'd make another attempt to bend her will.

Raising his hand toward the seemingly empty space in front of him, the Dark Magus tapped the air twice with his index finger. The atmosphere rippled slightly, as if he had pressed against an invisible surface, and from that point of contact, a small dark hole formed. It gradually expanded, swirling wider and taller until it became a full black vortex, towering above Trent.

Trent glanced at the Dark Magus, offering a brief nod of acknowledgment. There was a flicker of gratitude, however faint, for being saved from certain destruction. Without the Dark Magus' intervention, Trent would have been killed, exorcised, and his existence in the Paradox would have ended.
