SPLAAASH!
Ding!
[The Familiar [Giant Blue Scaled Tuna: Marine (Awakened) (D++ Rank)] x1 has activated [Enhancing Radiance++]!]
[All Familiars within the vicinity will have their Speed, Dexterity, Accuracy, and Evasion increased by +20%!]
[The Familiar [Giant Blue Scaled Tuna: Marine (Awakened) (D++ Rank)] x1 has activated [Flammable Oil++]!]
[All foes that are covered on this oil will take +200% more damage from Fire Attribute Attacks and will become vulnerable to the Element of Fire.]
With Marine boosting my Familiars and splashing oil over the spiders, they burned exquisitely easy, making it most obvious that the Fire Attribute attacks would be the best option in this scenario.
After Alberta boosted everybody's weapon and armor effects using her unique Blacksmith Skills, everyone jumped into battle, completely angered that the Grizzlies were stealing the spotlight. The grizzlies were strong, but they still killed spiders slowly, and sometimes they got surrounded dumbly, and would get easily killed.
This was where the difference between them and my friends stood the most, they were able to move swiftly, adapt to any situation, and fight fiercely with both brain and brawns. They ended fighting with the grizzlies supporting them rather than the opposite, creating a wonderful cycle of killing hordes of Spiders while advancing further into the first floor of this massive C++ Rank Dungeon.
And of course, I analyzed the situation in the back, not because I was a coward that didn't wanted to fight, but to save my own strength and calmly recover MP, my Vampire Spirits were also resting, waiting for the opportunity to fight for later.
Of course, I wasn't wandering around the Dungeon with my friends without a new, powerful and adaptable steed for this type of environment… I was riding a giant, five-meter-large rock-scaled lizard with big, golden eyes, and sharp rocky horns.

This is the result of Synthetizing the Rock Goblins with the Red Wyvern Cards, creating the even stronger Cave-Dwelling Earth Drake, a lesser dragon subspecies that lacks wings and instead dwells underground, best adapted for three-dimensional movement in caves, where it can even crawl on the walls and ceiling without issues.
"Raaaah! [Mystical Blazing Fox Flames]!" Chris roared, stepping forward and hitting the floor with his staff, a gigantic storm of flames surged, which shaped itself into a gigantic fox, merging with his Spirit and then spreading further into the group of oil-covered insects.
The result? Well, it is easy to predict…I think you should take a look at
BOOOOOOOMMMMM!!!!
A loud and powerful explosions of pure flames spread everywhere, burning the giant insects in seconds. Furious Centipedes, Predator Praying Mantis, Black Abyssal Scorpions, and the Giant Black Spiders were instantly consumed by the flames.
A few of them were still somehow alive, but they were swiftly taken down by the Grizzlies powerful attacks, combined with Claw's boost in their total damage dealt, they were good for taking down whatever was strong enough to still take some powerful blazing magic on the face.
"[Heavenly Demon Arts]: [Heaven Splitting Kick]! And… [Demon Flames]!"
Erdrich fell from above the ceiling, jumping down from the ceiling towards an incoming group of giant Centipedes, and falling with a powerful Heaven Splitting Kick, covering his body on Demon Flames at the same time as Marine splashed them with Oil from an incredibly long distance, one of the fish's special talents.
CLAAAAAAASSSHHH!!! FLUOOOOSH!
The very kick cracked in half the head of one of the Giant Centipedes, while the shockwave and flames alone pulverized the ones surrounding it. The Giant Centipedes farther away were still covered on Demon Flames, which still worked rather well with Flammable Oil, it simply helped with any sort of fire, it was a rather special, Magical Oil.
"Gryyeeeerrgh!"
"Shyaaaagh!"
"Krieeeeeehhhh…!"
The screams of the gigantic insects reverberated across the Floor 1 as we advanced further into the direction where my Scouting Spider-shaped Golems have found the staircases to be. This only brought the attention of even more insects, we've already killed over 70% of them all, but there were still a few little ones wandering around.
RUMBLE!
TRUUUUMMM!!!
The sound of their giant legs stepping into the ceiling and walls echoed across the Dungeon, as they swiftly approached us. Now, they were being led by a larger than usual Giant Black Spider, with red stripes and twice their usual size, easily surpassing ten meters of height, a true behemoth larger than the grizzlies or my earth drake.
"GRYYYSHAAAAAAHHH!!!"
Ding!
[The [Abyssal Giant Red-Stripped Spider General (C+ Rank)] has emerged from his lair, bringing forth the rest of his forces!]
[His very presence send shivers down you and your team's spines, lowering all Stats by -20%!]
[Furthermore, their very presence creates the [General's Authority], increasing all allied bug-type monsters +30% to all stats and reduced damage taken by -15%!]
"There it is! The Boss of this Floor is here!" Erika celebrated. "Ugh, it has one nasty aura though…"
"Careful!" Elizabeth said from behind. "It has a special Aura that's weakening us and strengthening themselves, that Boss is dangerous, don't mess around with it!"
"Yeah, I noticed as well…!" Eric said, pointing his arrows from behind.
"Ugh, could you tone down the fire? It is getting in the way of my ice…" Elfriedden sighed.
"Sorry about that, but you'll have to adapt to the fire if you want to participate on this dungeon, Elfriedden." I smiled. "I taught you how to use basic fire spells, use them."
"Tch…" Elfriedden was adamant on using only his own element.
"B-Blake, what should we do?" Alberta asked.
"What do we do? We do the same thing we've done before." I smiled. "Just massacre them! Elizabeth, I'm counting on you."
"Of course." Elizabeth smiled proudly, quickly raising her staff. "[Holy Enhancement: Attack & Defense]!"
FLAAAASH!
