1* One of the most prominent source of it is the heavy use of MoodWhiplash in order to get hilariously silly parts in the middle of serious moments.
2** In Book 1, Danael, while briefing his friends over their travel to Klafooty, makes the list of all the [[IDontLikeTheSoundOfThatPlace various sinisterly named places they will have to go through]], before concluding :
3--->'''Danael''' Trust me, it will be a long, long, long time before we even reach the door of Klafooty.\
4''([[GilliganCut next panel, they arrive there]])''\
5'''Danael''': Here we are.\
6'''Gryf''': [[LampshadeHanging Well, that was fast.]]
7** The Revelation of Shaki's real name in book 4 by Darkhell :
8--->'''Shaki''': You may not recognize me, but I'm pretty sure you remember the one who gave you that scar on your cheek...
9--->'''Darkhell''': What the... ? My scar... So you are the warrior they call [[EmbarrassingNickname Little Cat who Drinks his Bowl of Milkl]] ?!
10--->'''Shaki''' ({{Beat}}): Uh, yeah, that's me. But I'd rather Shaki, if you don't mind. S'not my fault I have a stupid name...
11** In Book 7, during Gryf's flashback, his former enslavers Menthos is seen visiting a Monslave merchant, who shows him what the reader expects to be Gryf... but turns out to be a creature [[ShoutOut that looks damn like]] [[Franchise/{{Pokemon}} Pikachu]]. Menthos is no amused by this :
12---> '''Menthos''': IS THIS SOME KIND OF JOKE?! That thing wouldn't last a minute against my opponents' monslaves !
13---> '''Folh-Klor''': Alright, alright, if you don't want it... though I'm sure it has potential...
14*** In the same book, when the Legendaries are surrounded by Monslave merchants, they suddenly start imagining all the stuff they will be able to buy themselves if they get to sell Gryf, and mentions "Charibo" Candies.
15** In preparation for their confrontation with Anathos in Book 10, the Legendaries make camp on a deserted Island. Jadina kicks a disheartened Shimy in the ass and gives her a GetAHoldOfYourselfMan speech, which causes Shimy to ''immediately'' and violently retaliate. This causes a chain reaction that leads Gryf to pick a fight with Razzia, while Danael and Tenebris stand back and watch the chaos unfold.
16--->'''[[TokenEvilTeammate Tenebris]]''': Looks fun... wanna play, Danael ?
17--->'''Danael''': YOU PUT THOSE BLADES AWAY RIGHT NOW, TENEBRIS!
18--->'''Tenebris''': Pfff... spoilsport...
19** In Book 12, with Dark-Jadina dead and Shimy having defeated her own Hellion counterpart, Anathos confidently states [[TemptingFate that Razzia and Gryf's chances of having done the same are very, very slim]]. As if on cue, Razzia pops out of the ground ''right in front of him'' and comments on how easy it is to get turned around in such a huge forteress. He doesn't even notice Anathos as an elated Tenebris calls out to him and he immediately runs over to free her. And if that weren't enough, ''Gryf'' then rears his head and complains that Razzia didn't wait up for him. Anathos' [[JawDrop face]] is priceless.
20*** And this is just the first of several delightfully satisfying OhCrap faces that Anathos has at this point; it actually serves as the starting point to his VillainousBreakdown, as he realizes that [[OutGambitted he got completely and utterly outsmarted by Jadina]], who on her part seems to be enjoying herself just as much as the reader.
21** In Book 13, when the Legendaries and Vangelis find out that Count Kasino and his bodyguards have been tailing them:
22--->'''Vangelis''' : Wait a second...''you'' tried to kill us the other day? Why?
23--->'''Kasino''': Why ? [[LargeHam WHY]]? Why do you think?? For the only thing worth fighting for, of course!
24--->'''Razzia''': Uh... [[ComicallyMissingThePoint food]]?
25--->'''Kasino''': ({{Beat}}) No... though I'd kill you all for a steak right now...
26** In Book 12, after getting Dark-Razzia (and the reader) up to speed on his origin story, Razzia then solemnly declares:
27--->'''Razzia:''' I will keep on honouring Sheyla's memory, and in that spirit I am going to kick your ass!!
28--->'''Dark-Razzia''': [[EvilLaugh Ahaha!!]] [[UnderestimatingBadassery You]], [[LikeYouWouldReallyDoIt kick my ass]] ? [[TemptingFate I would like to see you try-]] (''[[KilledMidSentence Razzia punches him through the face with Amy,]] [[TalkToTheFist sending him flying away]]'')
29--->'''Razzia:''' I warned him, didn't I?
30--->'''Amy:''' I concur!
31* Occasional use of BreakingTheFourthWall:
32** In Book 3, when Jadina forces Shimy to wear a ballgown:
33--->'''Jadina:''' What were you thinking ? Have you any concern for our reputation ?
34--->'''Shimy:''' What about that scene you just imposed to the readers ?
35** In Book 11, when Ikael orders the launch of [[ShoutOut Operation Gold-Orack Go!]], Michi-Gan transmit the author's apologizes to the reader for the IncrediblyLamePun.
36** In Book 14, when the Legendaries fail to understand Jadina's uncle is referring to Tenebris when he talks about a new queen:
37--->'''Cylbar:'''Are you kidding me ? I'm sure even the readers have already understood who I am referring to...
38* In book 9, Elysio and Darkhell's "[[LikeAnOldMarriedCouple marital squabble]]" over their daughter Tenebris when she interrupts their attempt on the Legendaries' lives:
39--->'''Elysio''': Tenebris?! What the Hell are you doing? We've got enough problems as it is!
40--->'''Darkhell''': Hey! Who said you could talk to my daughter like that!
41--->'''Elysio''': She's my daughter too, remember?
42--->'''Darkhell''': Yeah, but she likes me better!
43--->'''Elysio''': In your dreams! Wanna ask her to choose?
44--->'''Tenebris'''({{Beat}}): This is embarrassing...
45* In ''Origines'', Jadina yanks Saryn into her tent and [[LesYay orders her to strip]]... but it turns out [[SubvertedTrope she just wanted Saryn to try on her wedding gown for her, since they just so happen to be the same height and build and Jadina couldn't take a mirror along for the trip]].
46* In book 4, Elysio tries to explain to the Lengendaries that [[EnemyWithout he and Darkhell are now separate people]] but somehow can't get the wording right :
47--->'''Elysio''': Right, okay! I'm going to try to make this clear... so, there's me, the person standing right in front of you. And then there's the other me, who's somewhere else! I'm the good guy. The other me is the bad guy. I'm here because of the other me... actually, wait, no. Switch that. Or... hang on...
48--->'''Danael''': Ahem! Think you could try the complicated version? Because this is...
49** Then Gryf tries to explain it his way:
50--->'''Gryf:''' [[BrutalHonesty Elysio drank the Zar-Iko Memory Draught, and he turned back into Darkhell!]]
51--->'''Elysio:''' GRYF! ARE YOU TRYING TO GET ME KILLED OR SOMETHING?!
52** Shaki flies into a murderous rage upon finding that Elysio used to be Darkhell and immediately tries to avenge his people, [[CurbStompBattle which is severely undercut by Elysio casually zapping him in mid-air]].
53* In book 11, Shimy is knocked off her improvised mode of transport and Gryf leaps down after her. He succeeds in catching her before she hits the ground, [[AccidentalPervert but unfortunately]] [[PantyShot not the right way up]].
