[ Mordred increasing the force her blade is being pushed with is definitely enough to throw Minako aside. She wants to quickly recover and get up, but for a moment that momentum is halted by the words that leave the other's mouth. Something about them makes Minako's heart sink to the very pit of her stomach.
It's not even because the words are wrong - no, it's because they're exactly on point. Minako really has decided she's a worthless shinki a long time ago, because it feels like she can't live up to her full potential or do everything she's supposed to do no matter how hard she tries. Hearing it from herself is hard, but hearing it from another person is harder, and she only manages to snap out of the temporary hold it has her in when she sees Mordred aiming her sword at Zelda's bed.
There's no time to wallow in self-pity. Not even any time to think about Mordred's wellbeing. The only important thing is that if she can't protect Zelda now, then-- ]
Don't you dare touch her!
[ Minako shouts it loud enough for most likely the next temple over to have been able to hear it as well if they weren't underground, and a bright yellow light surrounds her as she stands up, the magical sword having vanished. The light gathers in her hands as she holds them in front of her, aiming at Mordred. ]
Venus.. Love and Beauty Shock!
[ And while the sword attack just now might have been held back just a bit, this definitely isn't, especially since she's free to attack Mordred from an angle she won't hit Zelda at now. It's like a huge cannon's worth of energy is shot like a huge laser, heading straight for Mordred, like a Pokémon using Solar Beam. ]
