Under The Mountain Sky

Ding!

[Your mount is going through metamorphosis]

"Huh? It's evolving?"

Kiro watched the excruciating process, he figured it must've been since he could hear every one of his bones cracking and mending.

All Hubris was capable of doing was groaning and moaning.

This was unheard of, usually the tamer would go through a lot just to get it's mount to level up let alone evolution. But here was Hubris, the great shame he suffered turned into a trauma, which turned into his greatest strength and triggered an evolution.

An evolution his body wasn't quite ready for. This why this moment of supposed celebration, became one of pain to him, his body was still too weak. 

Kiro decided to ignore him, he figured he deserved at least this for almost getting themselves killed.
