It was a woman.
A woman who appeared to have a robust physique landed in front of him and used a court sword to block his attack. Despite its antiquity and apparent rust, the court sword was formidable enough to fend off Vandread's spiritual weapon.
For the time being, at least, it was as though the woman's court sword was able to absorb the energy coming from Vandread's spiritual sword as his thirst for masacre slowly faded away along with the depreciation of the radiant light surrounding his spiritual sword.
As soon as Vandread realized what the woman was capable of, he made an immediate move in the opposite direction by taking a few steps backward. He proceeded with extreme caution in order to forestall the possibility of the woman completely ingesting all of his spiritual energy.
