this is just me giving clarification on the time and what my sword did. It's not a ranged attack, the timing was since you were following behind the sphere, after consuming the sphere and slicing back up since you would be much closer at that point - given you are behind the sphere - only then is your blade going to be sliced, because in your previous post you attacked me over and over again. 

I'm only clarifying for you because my long sword is not ranged lol. I don't want to give it that impression.
