Seeing the snack-like living vine try to wrap itself around his ankle, Ash wasn't foolish enough to think this creepy thing just wanted to play with him and was harmless to humans and animals. Especially not when it began rubbing its sharp, metal-like, pointed throne against his skin.
He took out his sword from his back and slashed down on the vine, severing it in two. He was about to withdraw for the time being, thinking that the witch might not be in her home and had triggered some kind of defensive mechanism in the house after breaking the door. It's a common thing with magicians, and more so among witches when suddenly, he felt like the earth beneath his feet started shaking crazily, as if a high-level earthquake had hit the area.
BANG!
WHOOSH!
