Mifune merely let go of his sword and instead of attempting to dodge completely threw his right hand out and hit Setrak along the side opening a wound along his hand but knocking the point out of the way. Using his momentum and now free left hand he attempted to drive his claws (yes he has claws he is a werewolf) directly into Herriman's throat. Whether the attack would succeed or not mattered little as Mifune was braced for the impact of the blow and upon hitting Herriman would knock him to the ground as well as Mifune who would then stand and retrieve his sword with much haste.
