I approach the door, and it opens automatically.

As soon as I entered the basement, I was surrounded by hundreds of capsules with goblins; they were enclosed in a capsule of their size while floating in a strange liquid; I approached a capsule to my left and tapped the glass lightly.

It feels like I'm hitting the tempered glass, so the idea of using my sword and destroying the capsules before they come out is ruled out.

While I could try to break it with the sword, it may be the case that it would not work, but it could also destroy my sword, and I only have two katana-type swords and three wooden swords.

Above my head, a timer reads 4:59, which means I have 5 minutes before the goblins come out of their capsules. I look around and find two rooms at the back, I quickly run to the first room on the right, but it is just a big empty room. I check its surroundings, and the only thing I find is a sign that says "Test Area."

This is where the experiments to exterminate the goblins were conducted.

As there is nothing, I go to the other room, where there is a computer and several empty cabinets. I start to check the desks and cabinets, but I find nothing.

Wait, I remember those scientists had hidden the key in a tile. Is it here? I start knocking on the tiles, and one of them is loose. I lift it and find about six cans of beer and a box.

[You have obtained a can of beer]

[Description: A bitter-tasting alcoholic beverage that causes mild intoxication and relaxes the nervous, if I were you, I wouldn't drink, oh sweet liquor soft torment]

[You have obtained the master chip]

[Description: A chip that opens the doors of the whole place, in the center is a drop of blood, what is this a paternity test].

Since there is nothing else, I sit in the computer chair to see if I can get anything.

[Currently the computer is running the program to release the goblin capsules].

[To abort the program, please enter the master code].

And how would I know that?

I didn't see any code anywhere.

Wait, there was a code that scientists placed on subject "R"'s door, but I was so engrossed in their conversation that I ignored the code they put.

I leave the room and see that the timer is at 0:40, there is no more time to go back and forth, and if I get out of here, the goblins will cause more damage than they will do here.

I look around me, but there's nothing I can use to my advantage. It's just an open space surrounded by capsules. Behind me is the room with the computer, and next to it is the testing area. I could try to place the goblins there and lock them in, but it would only be time until they destroy the door.

*Sigh* I have no choice but to fight. There are times when one must think and times when one must act, and this is the time to act!

I must fight! Survive! Win!

I place the 30 potions in my left bag. In contrast, in the right bag, I put ten bottles of antiseptic alcohol, ten anesthetics, two bottles of hydrochloric acid, and three adrenaline injections. I draw my sword and prepare for combat.

*BEEP* *BEEP* *BEEP* *BEEP* *BEEP* *BEEP* *BEEP* *BEEP* *BEEP* *BEEP* *BEEP* *BEEP* *BEEP* *BEEP* *BEEP* *BEEP* *BEEP* *BEEP* *BEEP* *BEEP* *BEEP*

When the timer reached zero, it caused the goblin capsules to open simultaneously. Two seconds later, the goblins began to rise and let out their characteristic squeal.

I start running towards the ones close to me and start cutting their heads with my sword; I barely manage to eliminate about six goblins when I notice that the rest start running towards me.

I try to dodge as much as possible and eliminate them as fast as possible, but they still reach me with their claws.

[-10 HP]

[-20 HP]

[-20 HP]

[-14 HP]

[You are under the effect of Bleeding]

[Bleeding]

[Every second, you lose 10 HP for 10 seconds].

Multiple notifications pop out, so I use a slash to gain some ground, use a potion, then pull out a bottle of antiseptic alcohol to pour it all over my body and continue fighting.

A goblin tries to ambush me and attack me from above, but it's useless for someone who is on high alert and with an cold mind passive ability. I quickly turn my waist and raise my sword upwards, cutting the goblin in half, then I stabilize myself and attack the right side to get some room to maneuver.

During all this chaos, a goblin uses its claws to attack the tendon of my feet, which causes me to fall to the ground.

[-40 HP]

[You are under the effect of Ripping]

[Ripping]

[Your movement speed decreases by 25%]

Damn!

I take an anesthetic to remove the DEBUFF effect, and while I'm at it, I take another potion.

[You have received the BUFF - Immunity to pain]

[Immunity to pain]

[Description: For the next 30 seconds, you don't feel any pain in your body]

I try to get up as fast as possible, but they still manage to scratch me; I again take out another bottle of antiseptic alcohol and pour it all over my body, then keep slashing and using a slash to gain space.

After fighting for 20 minutes, I feel how my arms are heavy and painful. With no other option, I take out the adrenaline injection and apply it to my arm with my arms shaking.

[Adrenaline injection 1/3]

[For 5 minutes, your attack speed increases by 10%, plus your stamina recovers to 100%].

After injecting myself, the fatigue faded away, and I returned to the fight. I can barely feel the increase in attack speed, but that doesn't matter. The important thing is that the fatigue in my arms is gone, so I return to the battle.

......

*aff* *aff* *aff* *aff* slash *aff* *aff* *aff*

I don't know how much time has passed, a minute? Ten minutes? An hour? this doesn't seem to be over.

I can't think so clearly anymore. Now I follow my instincts to avoid mental fatigue in the middle of the fight.

If I feel weak, I use a potion and put antiseptic alcohol on my body. If I think I can't move, I take an anesthetic, and so on.

I cut another goblin that tries to attack me from the left; I can barely raise my arms. I don't want to use the injection because I only have two uses left, and I think I will need them later.

As time goes by, I realize something, which is the slash skill I'm only using to gain ground and move. I feel like I'm wasting the potential it has. Maybe I can use this battle to improve it?

Mmm, it's worth a try.

A goblin jumps on me, so I use slash again, but this time I focus on movement when I use it. Slash is a melee attack, so I have to be close to use it, and once I act either vertically or horizontally, it releases a weak beam of light, but why is this beam of light produced?

At first, I thought it was because of the force I exerted on the sword and how it ended up cutting forward, but in that case, it should not be a beam of light that has to come out but a gust of wind that arises when an object passes at high speed.

In that case, what he uses to create that beam of light is the 10 MP he takes when using this skill, so slash is a more potent attack than a basic attack with a bonus of a beam of light MP.

With that in mind, I start experimenting again. This time I perform a basic attack, but as if I were using the slash skill, which results in a more vigorous basic attack that cuts through the wind.

This confirms that the slash skill uses the 10 MP to make that beam of light, so I have to find a way to use those 10 MP efficiently.

I started using the slash skill, but I released it at different speeds this time.

First, I used the skill as slow as possible, and the result was a robust basic attack, and its beam of light was weaker,

Then I release the slash as I usually do and release the beam of light that leaves a 15-centimeter long wound on a goblin behind the one I cut.

The attack gives me room to maneuver, so I take another potion and pour antiseptic alcohol on my body.

After 10 seconds, I use the slash skill again, but this time I wave my sword as fast as possible time. I notice a change and the beam of light has the same length and thickness as my sword, making it cut the goblin in not only front of me but also three others behind me.

This is a breakthrough, but the experiment is not over yet.

I continue slashing the goblins around me until the slashing ability is active again. I start making my way to the testing area and enter.

I run to the back of the room and stop. Once there, I turn around only to see the goblins start to enter.

I get into the attack position. I turn my waist 90° to the left while leaning a little, now the blade's edge is behind me, while my two hands firmly hold the hilt, the same way I faced the poison/ice two-headed snake, I patiently wait for them to come towards me, but this time I don't plan to dodge and attack.

My mind is only on the sword and the slash skill. My arm muscles tense as I prepare a slash so fast that no one can see and so strong that no one can block.

Meanwhile, the goblins keep running toward me, now, they look like a tidal wave of green coming towards the coast, but I keep building up strength as I see them getting closer and closer.

Ten meters, five meters, four meters, three meters, two meters, one meter.

NOW!!!!!

I unleash a slash as hard and fast as possible as a gust of wind combines with the beam of light, wreaking havoc wherever they pass.

The beam of light and the gust of wind were so great that they cut the tidal wave of goblins in half.

That attack was so powerful that I felt that drained my life, and I was forced to kneel and hold on with my sword.

But because of the situation, I use all my will and try to lift my head.

After four seconds, I manage to lift it and place my head on the back of my hands while using the hilt of my sword to support myself.

In front of me are hundreds of goblins cut in half, but that's not all, both sides of the wall have a cut mark about three centimeters wide, and at the bottom, there is a cut mark that occupies the entire wall that is about six centimeters wide.

After observing that, many notifications began to appear, concluding this goblin siege.
