Evil Is Sexy TRS; this has become an objective, in-universe trope.


* EvilIsSexy: [[GodOfEvil Caladbolg]], as a result of HeIsAllGrownUp.
** Arguably Oski qualifies as well, but in a more blurred variation thanks to his WildCard stance in the overall main conflict and spending a good chunk of the manhwa in his crow form.
** Just/Ouroboros, thanks to having young Nex's appearance combined with his status as the TokenEvilTeammate who himself may or may not fully betray the heroes at any moment.

Foe Yay has been cut


* FoeYay: [[AbelAndCain Nex and Caladbolg]], [[IncestSubtext as usual]], [[{{Yandere}} have]] [[{{Revenge}} tons]] [[TheOnlyOneAllowedToDefeatYou of this]].
** Just and Ninurta's interactions drip with this.

* EpilepticTrees: The origins of Xix. [[spoiler: Everything that is setup about his identity through the first 100+ chapters of the story was proven to be either a misunderstanding, or flat-out [[RedHerring misdirection]].]]
* FoeYay: [[AbelAndCain Nex and Caladbolg]], [[IncestSubtext as usual]], [[{{Yandere}} have]] [[{{Revenge}} tons]] [[TheOnlyOneAllowedToDefeatYou of this]].
** Just and Ninurta's interactions drip with this.



* IronWoobie: Ninurta Noah

to:

* IronWoobie: Ninurta NoahNoah is ''the'' most miserable character in the story, only rivaled by Nex himself.



** [[spoiler:Later we see him order his wife's death just to draw out Ninurta who he views as a traitor.]]
* TheScrappy: Seon Yu

to:

** [[spoiler:Later we see him order his wife's death just to draw out Ninurta who he views as a traitor.]] Subverted to an extent later on, as it appears tough that it is just an excuse to [[spoiler: get her clan out of the way, as they have become increasingly more influential.]]
** Iffrita herself is heavily implied to have crossed this - [[spoiler: as a revenge for her mother, she stole one of the children of Nex and Serin Ninurta a.k.a. the ''real'' prince Xix, then has Mimir disguise Ninurta as her own child (in exchange for her own right horn), as well as apparently framing Serin for false charges of treason, effectively setting in motion Ninurta's TraumaCongaLine [[GoneHorriblyWrong without even realizing it]].
]]
* TheScrappy: Seon YuYu thanks to his NeverMyFault and ChronicBackstabbingDisorder tendencies which tend to make things worse and worse for the protagonists every time he appears.

* NightmareFuel: Chaos has a [[CrapsackWorld very dark side]], to the point where the author feels like he is trying to top himself with each chapter.
** In the first chapter alone begins with the massacre of an entire town because the leader was a traitor and treated them well.
** How does Nex suddue Xix? He rips the kid's heart out of his chest with his bare hands! He then forces the mortally wounded Xix to be dragged by chariot all the way to the capital.
** [[http://www.mangahere.com/manga/cavalier_of_the_abyss/v01/c006/28.html This is what happens when an undead loses their heart. ]].
** The face Su Yeon makes when finds Miya is disturbing to say the least.
** [[http://www.mangahere.com/manga/cavalier_of_the_abyss/v03/c016/5.html The pain and suffering Miya goes through to keep the gate open.]]
** One nearly stabbing Miya in the heart.
** Caladbolg is absolutely terrifying. The innocent expressions of an eight year old child mixed with his wide capability of destruction seem to drown whatever tone the atmosphere originally possessed into [[TheDreaded absolute bleakness.]] Unlike other examples of CreepyChild, Jae Hoon is not possessed by an evil spirit or demon, he possessed by a [[GodofEvil god.]]
** The aftereffects of a member of the Night Clan, [[spoiler:in this case Jae Hoon himself]], just touching a living organism from Chaos... [[http://eatmanga.com/Manga-Scan/Cavalier-of-the-Abyss/Cavalier-of-the-Abyss-066/page-10 NOT PRETTY]].

* TrollingCreator: A ''lot'' of chain yanking, considering the series did essentially 360 from where it had stood at the end of Immortal Regis. The author likes to drop hints and clues in every which direction, but never giving a clear answer; this is partially why the manhwa is so confusing for the first 20 or so chapters.

* YankTheDogsChain: So far the the Dragon Festival Side story is looking like it [[spoiler: with the story ends with Yuan getting her desire of dancing with Xix fulfilled and the two of them seeing a Dragon spirit that is supposed to grant the wish she made, which was for happiness for everyone. A pretty happy ending... until it is revealed that the last couple to see a dragon and dance was [[FallenHero Nex]] and [[AndIMustScream Serin]]. ]]
