The orb of perfect equilibrium between Light and Dark began forming directly in front of him, right in the pixie's path.
By the time the pixie noticed the orb materializing, momentum had already carried it forward into the spell's area of effect.

But warriors operated on a different combat philosophy than magicians.
Warriors were a class built around trading blows and coming out ahead. They could take hits that would kill a magician and keep fighting. A big fighting philosophy revolved around accepting damage to deal even more damage in return.
If Lumi was casting a spell, then he wasn't casting a teleport spell to escape.
Therefore, the warrior could afford to take the hit from this unknown spell and use that opening to deal massive damage to the exposed magician.
