To deal with the power C Ranked Giant Spiders, I didn't merely rely on my own allies or the strength I had, because I knew that it wouldn't be near as enough. So I also decided to bring out the power of my Summons, the uniqueness that makes our party stand out the most.
[You have Summoned [Blazing Grizzly King: Kuma (Awakened) (D++ Rank)] x1!]
[The effects of the [Familiar Multiplication: Lv2] Skill has been activated!]
[The Familiar: [Blazing Grizzly King: Kuma (Awakened) (D++ Rank)] x1 has been multiplied by 30!]
[Mana and Spirit Orbs within your Inventory have been automatically expended.]
[Your Mana has reached rock bottom! However, it is beginning to rapidly self-regenerate.]
"ROOOAARRRR!" Giant Blazing Bears emerged out of thin air, each one as tall as five meters of height, true behemoths.
FLASH! FLASH! FLASH! FLASH! FLASH!
Where one surged, thirty more appeared thanks to the Familiar Multiplication Skill, which also allowed me to save MP on Familiar Summoning and also the cost of Spirit Orbs was greatly reduced.

Although my Familiar Synthesis Skill has risen up to Level 7, which even now allows me to summon S Rank Monsters, due to the lack of Spirit Orbs, aside from the temporary and short lived Fusion Summons, I cannot summon anything that is C Rank and above. Why?
Well, I lack the C Rank Spirit Orbs for that, and anything above B Rank would probably cost too much Mana, I would need to first rise my stats further.
So, at most, my limit is D++ Rank. Well, that doesn't meant I haven't been able to create brand new Summons through Summon Synthesis anyways, and with the sheer amount of new Summons I got from our last adventure, that was a given.
CLASH! CLASH! CLAAAASH!
The Grizzlies started fighting right away, fiercely biting, and slashing away at the Giant Black Spiders, whose exoskeletons were being burned through their fierce flames. However, the spiders were perhaps too massive, flames weren't spreading as much as I wanted, and they weren't making as much damage either.
However, the Grizzlies were indeed very resilient, and their claws and fangs put a real dent into the exoskeletons of the spiders, which were harder than most metals.
But I guess they do need a good boost.
"{Summon Familiar}! {Familiar Multiplication}!"
[You have Summoned [Living Demon Claws: Claw (Awakened) (D++ Rank)] x1!]
[You have Summoned [Giant Blue Scaled Tuna: Marine (Awakened) (D++ Rank)] x1!]
[The effects of the [Familiar Multiplication: Lv2] Skill has been activated!]
[The Familiar: [Living Demon Claws: Claw (Awakened) (D++ Rank)] x1 has been multiplied by 30!]
[Mana and Spirit Orbs within your Inventory have been automatically expended.]
[Your Mana has reached rock bottom! However, it is beginning to rapidly self-regenerate.]
[All [Living Demon Claws: Claw (Awakened) (D++ Rank)] x31 have been equipped into the [Blazing Grizzly King: Kuma (Awakened) (D++ Rank)] x31!]
FLASH! FLASH! FLASH! FLASH!
A couple of brand-new familiars were summoned to quickly give the Grizzlies some much needed aid. Their large claws suddenly gained giant, black colored metallic claw weapons, and aside from that, a huge fish resembling a blue scaled tuna with a long golden horn surged behind the grizzlies, just one was enough.
Of course, these black claws emanating an evil aura were Familiars, a similar type of Familiar than Ax, Material-type Familiars are rather useful, either weapons or armor. Claw is a very special one though.

[Health Points]: [6500/6500] (+700)

[Skill]: [Demonic Living Weapon++] [Life Draining Attack++] [Rotting Wounds++] [Lethal Slash++]
With the ability to Drain Life and give it back to the wielder, while also provoking wounds that rot away and are hard to regenerate, they're ideal to fight powerful, bulky foes such as the C Ranked Giant Black Spiders.

[Type]: [Fish] [Enhancer]
[Race]: [Giant Blue Scaled Tuna]
[Health Points]: [4500/4500] (+700)

[Dexterity]: [850] (+350)
[Buff]: [+200 MP] [+200 HP]
[Skill]: [Torpedo Swimming++] [Tsunami++] [Enhancing Radiance++] [Flammable Oil++]
[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.]
Suddenly, over half of the Black Spiders were instantly covered on gooey, flammable oil, they were slightly confused, but the grizzlies only smiled, charging forward with rampaging blazing attacks, setting them ablaze much easily and rapidly.
It was a total massacre!
"Hahaha! This is the power of preparation!" I laughed.
My friends looked at the scene with eyes wide open.
"D-Do we just sit here and watch?" Wondered Eric.
"I-I feel like I would only be a bother…" Alberta sighed.
"A bother?!" I laughed. "Don't be ridiculous! If you want me to compare you to the Familiars, you're like very unique, tremendously strong Familiars that are very useful, so get there and fight, or do you want my Familiars to replace you so badly?" I spoke rather boldly, but it was to incentivize them to move.
"No way! I ain't letting any damn Familiar take my place!" Chris roared.
"Don't say ridiculous things, Blake." Erdrich smiled.
"Hehehe, this only makes it more fun anyways!" Erika laughed.
Led by these three reckless fighters, the rest of our party swiftly moved into action, the Spiders weren't going anywhere either, as more kept coming due to the commotion of battle.
We'll empty this entire floor off them before going to the second floor!
