As soon as Cyanide saw Ragnar preparing to swing, he threw his sword at the skinny tree across from this one, handle first, then quickly covered up his own ears with his hands.
Ragnar's large greatsword slammed into the tree harshly, nearly splitting it in half, and from the trunk and various thicker branches, about a dozen mandrakes popped out of their camouflaged homes. They screamed loudly like a banshee's wail, enough to make ears bleed. Thankfully, both Ragnar and Cyanide had their ears covered up, so they wouldn't receive any lasting damage.
