Hearing Lucius's words, John was a bit thrown off.
~shing~
Taking this opportunity, Lucius parried his attack and pushed him back. John though was well experienced and recovered in less than a second, using the moment of being pushed back to turn it into a roll.

Lucius's next attack missed and hit the ground instead. John got up from the ground with a leap and slashed back at Lucius, whose sword was pointed downwards. But just when it was a few inches from him, Lucius tilted his body back and let it fall to the ground.
But before it hit the ground, Lucius used his hands to cushion the impact and sprang back up. While this hand made the sword in his hand fall to the ground, Lucius kicked the base of the sword with his leg, sending it flying towards John.
