Rin, Shirou, and Illya just stared wide eyes in utter shock and confusion. The only thing in their collective minds were 'What just happened?'. Who wouldn't be? it went from a tense atmosphere, to polite small talk, then suddenly it started to literally rain blood suddenly after all.
What they saw next were glowing rings of runic symbols floating around the Berserker servant that was regenerating at high speed. Barely a breath of time later, he was covered up and condensed into a small looking marble and collected by the assailant.
Every move made by him were precise and graceful in every way even though he just blatantly committed murder right in front of their eyes. So much so that the watching trio couldn't help but be captivated. Shirou even went a step further and questioned his own sexuality within the confines of his own mind.
Only after Shuhang had turned around and started to nonchalantly walk towards Illya that they finally woke up from their trance. Illya being the first of the trio. Her expression then went from shock to a mixture of both trepidation and fury.
"What... what have you done to my Berserker!?" snarled the little princess. Were it anybody else, Illyasviel von Einzbern would have blown an even bigger fuse than just now. She might have even torn the offender to pieces with her mage craft already.
The only problem was... this offender is a 'heroic spirit' in her point of view. He even effortlessly slaughtered her own 'heroic spirit'! What would then be the point of retaliating if it is useless effort in the first place?
The biggest reason that she didn't try to do anything is because of the floating runes that circled her own body. Though they were fewer in numbers compared to when they surrounded her Berserker. Even if she didn't know the precise function of these runes, her experience as a Magus told her that they were some sort of sealing 'mage craft'.
And she was right. The moment they imprinted themselves on her body, Illya was no longer able to draw upon her prana at all! No access to prana means no mage craft. And no mage craft means that currently, she is just an ordinary little girl!
Whatever thoughts were running through her head was interrupted as Shuhang wordlessly lifted Illya from the ground. He then proceeded to sling her over his shoulder as if he was carrying a sack of potato. Afterwards, he continued walking towards the still silent duo until he reached in front of Rin all the while ignoring the struggle and protests of Illya.
"Rin. it's pretty late now. Let's go home." said Shuhang with a refreshingly beautiful smile. Even though it looked so beautiful, but to Rin as of this moment, it looked reeeeally annoying! So much so that just wants to up and just smack him then and there!
"Alright. let's go hom--...
