Even without the perception-enhancing herbs of the Tribals, Lucien could still barely make out Lance and his speed. So in retort to the man's fist, he performed an equally - if not more - trivial maneuver. Ronin felt a [i]crack![/i] as his velocity-fuelled fist collided with the left side of Lucien's jaw, rending bone from flesh as the left part of his lower jaw burst free of his mouth through his skin, hanging on afterwards by mere tendons. During this however, he did not stand his ground. Before Ronin's fist collided, he took a few steps forward and then shot backwards with surprising force to match Ronin's momentum. So while Ronin broke his jaw... Lucien drew his revolver with his off hand, keeping the olive katana at bay with the catching teeth of his sword-breaker. He fired four rapid shots into Ronin's visor, the .410 shotgun shells of the Raging Judge doing their work. Some kind of electricity arced across Ronin's face as the shells collided. If they did not get through the visor, they would at least put it out of commission. After having his jaw nigh torn off, Lucien uses his sword breaker to still keep the blade away as he promptly pistol whips Ronin away whilst backing up. He coughs blood from his ripped open mouth - no, he wasn't coughing. [i]He was laughing.[/i] A much more sinister tone spoke through the remnants of Lucien's mouth as the tendons began sowing itself together, marrow being burnt back into place with flashes of fire melding them shut. "Masterless samurai... Do you wish to feast upon the fruit of a False Prophet?" The last words became normal as the piece of his jaw melded itself back into place, ash gathering at the seams making his face looking akin to fractured clay quickly glued back together. He levelled his sword-breaker at Ronin once more, crimson fluid still dripping from the ashes covering his scars. Something about his posture said that this time, he wasn't on the tactical defensive anymore. Something in his eyes told that if Ronin wanted to expose the demon that lay beneath, he would have to rip him to pieces to find it.
