I had already mapped the entire dungeon before even getting here when I sent my familiars to explore and scout it, every cavern section, everything was now written on my Grimoire. With it open, I easily guided my entire team through it all, making sure to stop at every place with a large concentration of these Mithril Drakes and hunting every last one of them.
Due to the size of the mountain, it still took us roughly an hour and a half to finally get to the Lower Section of the Mountain's caves, where on its last depths was the White Dragon.
We encountered no other new monster, but variants of the same Mithril Drakes, there were smaller, larger, quicker, and bulkier variants, but none were really qualified to be absorbed as different monsters, sadly.
Nonetheless, our entire group easily dealt with them. Now that my Familiars weren't dying so easily anymore due to their poor vitality and health but were instead working as active tankers that drove the mob's attention to them, we were able to easily sweep through the mountain.
After roughly three thousand Mithril Drakes slain, the EXP we earned was incredible.
Ding!
[You have defeated over three thousand powerful monsters.]
[Level Up!]

[All your Stats have increased. You earned Bonus Stat Points and Skill Points.]
[Several Skills have Leveled Up! Some of your Skills have reached Max Level.]
Through the new power of Bone Absorption, my bones were constantly reinforced by these dragon bones, until I reached the limit of how much power I could draw from them and even the queens' bones.
Ding!
[You have absorbed a tremendous quantity of incredibly tough dragon bones! All of your Bones have been reinforced tremendously.]
[The [Bone Absorption: Lv1] has gained a large quantity of skill proficiency!]
[The [Bone Absorption: Lv1] Skill has Leveled Up to Level 4!]
"Hahaha, it is getting easier and easier to Level Up my Skills nowadays." I smiled, recalling when it was so annoyingly difficult to level up skills. I had to spend weeks to gain enough skill proficiency.
However, that wasn't the end of it all...
Ding!
[Congratulations, you have completed the {Monster Hunting Quest}: {Defeat 3000 Mithril Drakes from the Mithril Mines!}

No EXP this time, but I did get more Skill Points. Also more of those Elixirs I have yet to drink, and then there's... Skill Evolution? When I tried to "grab" that item, I got another message.
[You have gained [Skill Evolution] Privilege x2! Two Skills will Evolve at random within your Skill List, as long as they're max level.]
[The two Skills have already been randomly chosen.]
[The Title Skill: [Challenger of the Impossible: Lv10] has Evolved into the [Paragon Of Indestructible Conviction: Lv1] Title Skill!]
[The Title Skill: [Cunning Mind: Lv10] has Evolved into the [Unparalleled Villainous Mind: Lv1] Title Skill!]
Oh, so that's what it did.
