Why does everyone asume that the moment Lucy summons a spirit, it will immediately be absorbed?

Natsu was almost absorbed, but thanks to Happy it didn't happen, so all Lucy would have to do to preven the absorbtion, would be to hit Franmalth's arm at the right moment... or summon spirits that are fast enough to dodge that attack.
