No, you need to keep swinging your weapon at him in order to kill him. If you attack him even once, he will immediately go after you instead. I threw a crate between him and Mercedes, and Julien went after me. If you get hit even once, Julien will walk away as winner.

When you are a Fighter/Mystic Knight or (sword) Assassin, just spam the Burst/Blink Strike at Julien until he dies.

Ranger/Strider or (daggers) Assassin - Performing Hundred Kisses works well.

Warrior - I got lucky when I killed Julien with this vocation, but that's only pure luck. It's so slow that Julien will land a hit on you before you get another swing in.

I don't know any tips for Sorcerer/Mage, sorry. You're better off changing vocations before you take on this quest. Good luck.
