Chapter 820 The Adaptability Of Familiar Summons
Chapter 820 The Adaptability Of Familiar Summons
-----
I calculated around sixty Blazing Volcanic Rexes coming our way. These were mighty B+ Rank Monsters, although I was able to defeat one on my own quite easily, I cannot underestimate a large army of them.
Especially when the lake of magma nearby was bubbling rapidly, something huge was coming from there, the Boss, most likely. In fact, it wasn't even going to wait for us to defeat the small fry, emerging right this instant.
SPLAAASH!
"GRUOOOHHHHH!"
An enormous, scaled creature surged, with the shape of a huge and bloated fish, covered on dark red and black scales, with long whiskers, several eyes, and a wide, big mouth serrated with many sharp fangs.
The beast was over fifty meters tall and was one of the three possible Floor Boss that can spawn within the nine floors of the Dungeon before the tenth floor, where the Red Dragon is.
Ding!
[The Floor Boss: [Magma Salamander Drake King (B++ Rank)] has Appeared!]
[The mighty Boss of the First Floor of the Dungeon begins to exude a powerful aura of heat… Those that cannot resist the Flames will slowly be set ablaze, taking constant damage.]
[Additionally, all Fire-type Allied Monsters will receive a boost to All Stats of +100%!]
"W-What is that thing?!" Eric cried. "S-Such a strong pressure… Ugh, if it wasn't for the equipment you prepared, we would be burning alive right now!"
"It looks like a huge, scaled?catfish, no?" Erika wondered. "Hmm, I wonder if it's tasty~?" She licked her lips.
"It's the Floor Boss, one of the three possible bosses that can spawn in each Floor, the Magma Salamander Drake King. A species of Magma Salamander that has gained draconic bloodline and became the King of its kin." I explained. "It's a slow-moving B++ Rank Monster that simply sits around and deals damage over time to foes, while strengthening allies. It's the easiest out of the three Floor Bosses, actually."
"The easiest you say?" Wondered Elfriedden, he was sweating all over. "Urgh, this is sure annoying, my body's sweating all over, this place is definitely not made for me! But that's good actually, without a challenge, I will never be able to progress further after all."
"Anyways, let's get ready to move! There's less than a hundred other mobs out there, so the first floor is not that hard." Chris said, he was the least affected by the temperatures, his firepower was actually growing stronger, his entire body overflowing with a blazing aura. "I like this place's atmosphere! The temperature's only going to make me stronger!"
"Well said." I nodded. "The Boss is slow, so it wouldn't be a problem if we take down the mobs first. I'll bring some cavalry to make things swiftly, we don't want to waste too much energy with the First Floor after all. [Summon Familiar]"
My Grimoire shone brightly as a dozen Familiar Cards emerged from them, a bunch of giant Familiars emerged.?I brought twenty Dracos, twenty Fenrirs, twenty Grizzlies, ten Blazes (Giant Blazing Scorpions), and ten Stingers (Giant Wasps).
And of course, I brought thirty Marines, the Blue Scaled Tunas that usually buff us all with their [Enhancing Radiance] Skill, this time, they'll be fighting with their special water-related Skills, which are lethal against fire-type monsters.
FLASH! FLASH! FLASH!
They all appeared one after another. The Dracos and the Stingers making a formation in the skies led by the General, while the Fenrirs led the Grizzlies and Blazes. Meanwhile, as for Marine, I had assigned one as a General, leading the other thirty.
That should do for now, I'll keep the rest safe and sound inside my Grimoire until we get deeper into the Dungeon. Although I might have hundreds of Summons, over half of them are busy faraway in the mines, I have roughly around a hundred more available to summon right now, putting aside Familiar Multiplication.
If I took that into consideration based in the D to C Rank Spirit Orbs I have saved, I can bring another hundred more… But for now, I don't want to rely completely on the Familiars because they're better at fighting giant armies. Bringing a few is enough, we also need to train and practice our new skills ourselves!
But their support, nonetheless, is very appreciated, and also the reason why I'm so confident about completing this Dungeon, they're essential, without a doubt.
"Draco, Fenrir, Marine! Do I was told you before. Protect us from surprise attacks and give us support whenever you can. Make sure to weaken foes but also prioritize your safety, don't go sacrificing yourselves." I ordered.
"Very well, my lord!" Fenrir roared, standing up after he had become a giant Werewolf thanks to the Talent he acquired. "We shall not falter! We will bring you victory!"
"Alright, my sword shall lead our flying squadron then!" Draco roared, he and his kin were now Dragon Knights, wearing armor on top of their bodies, and even having dark red swords imbued with magic power. "Weaken foes and make sure they don't hurt those that fight at long range!"
"We shall serve you well, Master!" A huge Blue Scaled Tuna spoke. Familiars that were assigned as Generals became larger than the rest to differentiate them and had several times the original's stats. They were behemoths of their own. The usually small Blue Scaled Tunas that didn't surpass three meters of length became as huge as ten meters. "Bring forth a Tsunami to our foes! Weaken them!"

After having been upgraded to C Rank, this was how strong the Marines have become. Now they weren't just support but had become proper magicians that wielded the power of Ocean Magic with them.
Their MP wasn't that much though, so they were limited to how much they could attack… But that didn't matter much right now.
"Now, [Great Flood]!"
All the Marines quickly assembled together, greeting the Rexes with a huge flood of oceanic water, taking over everything!
SPLAAASH!
