"Ahhh!"
Nana jumped away in fright and swung the greatsword in her hand, about to cut off whatever had touched her shoulder.
But when she looked carefully, she realized... the thing touching her shoulder was actually Nini's hand.
But Nini had clearly been standing in front of her just now, so how had her hand gone around behind her back?
"Sister Nana, don't be scared, it's my hand," Nini quickly explained, "I just passed through the closed gate and came out from the connecting gate. In theory, as long as it's within the range of your mental power, you can open gates anywhere."
"But the farther it is from yourself, the stronger the mental power needed to open the gate, so there are still a lot of limits."
"Spatial gates!", Nana stared at Nini's strangely appearing hand in shock and said, "Then if your gate could open large enough, wouldn't it be like Doraemon's Anywhere Door, where you could directly open it to anywhere?"
"I don't know about that, but I definitely can't do it right now."
After just this short moment, sweat already covered Nini's forehead and face. She quickly pulled her hand back out of the spatial gate and said, "Opening a spatial gate only this big, just enough for one hand, I can hold it for at most ten seconds."
"And the distance can't be too far either, otherwise the consumption becomes even greater."
"If I can't pull my hand out in time before one of the gates closes, then my hand might be left inside that space forever."
Nini's words left Nana so shocked that she almost couldn't speak.
Instead, Idris pointed toward Ethan and said, "Then Nini, can you send sword energy thirty meters away like he did?"
"No!"
Nini answered immediately without even thinking, "My limit right now is probably around five meters, and if I open a gate more than three meters away, my mental power drains very quickly."
"Then the Hero is still more amazing!"
Idris looked toward Ethan with admiration all over his face.
As for Ethan at this moment, he still hadn't figured out how the sword energy suddenly disappeared and then suddenly appeared again.
But that didn't matter now. At worst, he could just try a few more times.
Ethan walked toward another Blade Tree.
But he didn't directly step into the Blade Tree's attack range. Instead, he stood outside its range, about twenty-five to twenty-eight meters away.
That was the Blade Tree's safe distance.
Of course, if the Blade Tree's canopy was especially large, then you had to increase the safe distance according to the size of the canopy.
Right now, Ethan wanted to test whether he could stand outside the safe range and use that Strange Sword Form from earlier to directly cut through the trunk of a Blade Tree thirty meters away.
If he could...
'Holy shit!'
'Wouldn't that mean I can easily do this in the future...'
'Take someone's head from afar without anyone noticing?'
"Strange Sword Form!"
Ethan stared hard at another intact Blade Tree thirty meters away.
Then he lightly raised his hand and swung the sword toward the tree. At the same time he swung, Ethan kept staring at the path of the sword light.
Finally, the instant the sword light disappeared, Ethan finally saw a black hole flash past extremely quickly.
The sword light had entered through a suddenly appearing hole in midair, then came out from another black hole before finally slashing into the Blade Tree.
"The Strange Sword Form is actually already connected to space itself?"
Ethan's face filled with shock.
'No wonder the sword energy could hit targets that far away.'
'So it didn't travel there at all. It entered through one side of an Anywhere Door, then came out from the other side.'
'If explained scientifically, it would be entering one side of a wormhole and coming out from the other side.'
'A wormhole can ignore distance and space.'
Although Ethan wasn't sure whether these black holes had anything to do with wormholes, this sword move was indeed unbelievably strange.
"I wonder..."
"Can this move also turn corners to cut people?"
A new thought appeared in Ethan's mind.
Right after that, he turned his head toward a Blade Tree more than forty meters away on his left side.
But Ethan didn't turn his body toward the Blade Tree. He only turned his head in its direction, locked onto the trunk of the Blade Tree on his left side, then raised his sword... and slashed.
"Strange Sword Form!"
Bang!
The next second.
The sword energy disappeared straight ahead of Ethan, then immediately appeared at the base of the Blade Tree trunk on the left side.
Crash!
Another Blade Tree fell.
Although the spot it hit wasn't exactly where Ethan originally aimed and was off by about half a meter.
The moment he discovered that the Strange Sword Form really could turn corners, Ethan's eyes lit up.
"Awesome!"
Just imagining himself exchanging blows face-to-face with some expert, then casually using one move that suddenly disappeared, only to appear behind the expert the next moment, could anyone really defend against that?
'Hahaha!'
'From now on, call me the master of backstabs!'
"The only thing I don't know is how far the maximum range of this Strange Sword Form can reach."
Ethan decided to test it.
So he stood in place and casually turned his head to look around.
Whenever he picked a target, he immediately swung the Godslayer Sword in his hand. The next second, sword light would flash strangely somewhere nearby. Maybe to Ethan's left, maybe to his right, or even behind him.
As one streak of sword light after another flashed past, Ethan cleared out all the Blade Trees around him in a circle.
Only a massive Blade Tree about a hundred meters away remained.
The tree was so huge that at least ten people holding hands would be needed to wrap around it. At this moment, the canopy that covered the sky actually started moving without any wind.
It seemed to have sensed danger too.
At this moment, the giant white flowers on the giant Blade Tree all turned toward Ethan.
And the soft petals of the Blade Tree also stood upright one by one, like sharp blades.
"No way!"
Looking at the giant Blade Tree a hundred meters away, Idris opened his mouth wide enough to fit an egg inside and said, "The Hero can't possibly be planning to attack that giant tree too, right?"
"He's nearly a hundred meters away from that tree. Can he really cut something at that distance too?"
Even Nana was shocked.
But the shock in Nini's heart was many times greater than the other two, because she clearly understood how difficult it was to open a gate a hundred meters away.
Neither Nana nor Idris could open spatial gates, so no one could understand that terrifying drain that felt like it sucked dry your mind.
Only Nini had tried it herself, so only she understood.
Nini couldn't help muttering to herself, "Just how strong is the Hero's mental power?"
