Not even making an attempt to dodge (that was not this creature's strong point), the lucentien took the hit and the pressure from the attack was enough to toss it backwards and off balance.

It crashed to the ground loudly, the sound echoing through what was a mainly empty hallway. However, this position, facing up, wasn't nearly as vulnerable as one might think, and the lucentien took its time in getting back up again. It wasn't exactly easy to push its body up when it only had proper control of one arm, after all.
