* PreAsskickingOneLiner: Cyril, right before his fight with Daria in Chapter 6, doubles as MeaningfulEcho.
-->'''Cyril:''' Tonight, Cyril Sutherland joins the Hunt. *fires SwordBeam to vaporise anything in its vicinity*

* {{Tragedy}}: This fanfic is labelled as such. It may not seem obvious at first glance, but if one considers [[{{Deuteragonist}} Ursula's]] actions in the story, it is clear that she is the TragicHero of the story. Ursula is a person of great status, as [[TheCaptain the Captain of the 4th Company]]. She makes the TragicMistake of going after [[HeroicNeutral the]] [[OneManArmy Hunter]], [[BullyingADragon despite knowing that he is entirely capable of defeating her effortlessly]]. Warnings from multiple parties notwithstanding, she still decides to participate in [[TheTeam a squad]] to pursue him due to her [[FatalFlaw Fatal Flaws]]. That is, her {{Pride}}, the urge to find a WorthyOpponent, her desperation to regain her [[HonourBeforeReason honour]] to make up for Druella's defeat, and her failure to look past the mentality of DoUntoOthersBeforeTheyDoUntoUs. While the fanfic is currently ongoing, [[spoiler:the SpaceBattles.com snippets shed light on her ultimate fate. Not only she alienates many of her comrades during her pursuit of the Hunter, she is [[UncertainDoom presumably hunted by him personally]] after the raid on Sasha's second orphanage.]]

* DontMakeMeDestroyYou: Chapter 5 has Cyril encountered by a clergyman, William Noscrim, who intends to recruit the Hunter in [[TheOrder the Order of the Chief God]]'s ranks. Cyril warns William not to waste his time, and that "someone is not coming back home in one piece" should he start a fight. The clergyman orders his daughter Wilmarina to remind the Hunter of his place, [[CurbStompBattle which ends up in vain]]. Cyril later gives William another warning: send anyone after him, these people die; send her daughter after him, his bloodline ends.

* ContraltoOfDanger: Ursula, Captain of the 4th Company is a BloodKnight who speaks in a silky contralto.

* PistolWhipping: Occasionally done by the Good Hunter, should he be unable to reload fast enough. His SuperStrength means that this is pretty effective, as an unfortunate monster and an Order soldier can attest to, both of whom have their skulls cracked like an egg in Chapter 3 and 6 respectively. If it is possible for one to actually kill via this method in RealLife, they are not going to survive any time soon.

** Chapter 16 and beyond (for now): Slaver Slayer Arc. Cyril, accepting his role as the hunter, is tasked with rooting out slavers within the federation of the Oberon League. Little did he know that the state of affairs has gone through an upheaval due to his presence, as the politicking between TheOrder, [[MonsterLord the Demon Lord]], and the Oberon League begins to unravel.

* GratuitousNinja: The kunoichi (aka. female ninja). Out of the 223 types of [[MonsterGirl mamono]], which normally include fantasy or mythical races, there are ninja types, apparently. In particular, the very first chapter has Murasaki Natsume, a {{succubus}} ninja, showing up at the Hunter's abode. Alas, her training as a ninja is not enough to prepare herself for the Hunter's ferocious assault.

In particular, the very first chapter has Murasaki Natsume, a [[HornyDevil succubus]] ninja, showing up at the Hunter's abode. Alas, her training as a ninja is not enough to prepare herself for the Hunter's ferocious assault.

** In terms of inhabitants, aside from your typical StandardFantasyRaces like humans, elves, and dwarves, a whopping ''[[FantasyKitchenSink 223]]'' types of [[MonsterGirl mamono]] exist. Despite their variations, they generally have the desire to seek human males for [[InterspeciesRomance companionship and reproduction]]. However, due to the current Monster Lord's power, the mamono have developed a strong, lustful desire for mating with said humans, with or without their consent. The [[HornyDevil succubus family]], in particular, can [[TheCorruption transform]] non-mamono males and females into incubi and succubi respectively, again, with or without their consent.

* SerratedBladeOfPain: It goes without saying that the [[MixAndMatchWeapon Saw Cleaver]] is pretty much synonymous with Cyril Sutherland. To hammer it home, he notably uses a [[HeroesPreferSwords steel sword]] rather than his [[WeaponOfChoice signature weapon]] during his time as [[SecretIdentity Klaus Tennstedt]].

*** The Chief God has been raising human [[TheChosenOne heroes]], in hopes that they can strike down the Monster Lord. The [[https://monstergirlencyclopedia.fandom.com/wiki/Chief_God wiki]] reveals that the Chief God opts for this indirect method as a result of being gravely wounded after trying to destroy the Demon Lord and her husband in battle.

* GodSaveUsFromTheQueen: {{Downplayed}} for Lilith, First of her name, [[MonsterLord Overlord of All Monsters]] and the Grand Mistress of Royal Makai. She's a VisionaryVillain, neither incompetent or mindlessly evil, who wishes to bring forth a FreeLoveFuture for both human and monster-kind, showing that she does have a large-scale policy in mind. Said policy comes with serious problems: consent is not an option; humans may find themselves monsterized against their will; and humans will eventually be outbred by monsters, hence be driven to extinction. As revealed in the backstory for MGE, this would also drive Monster-kind into extinction, due to the fact that Mamono are a OneGenderRace who need human men to breed. It should be noted that the Demon Lord is trying to find an answer to the extinction issue by figuring out how to produce male offspring from human-monster relations, instead of just more female mamono.

* GodSaveUsFromTheQueen: {{Downplayed}} for Lillith, First of her name, [[MonsterLord Overlord of All Monsters]] and the Grand Mistress of Royal Makai. She's a VisionaryVillain, neither incompetent or mindlessly evil, who wishes to bring forth a FreeLoveFuture for both human and monster-kind, showing that she does have a large-scale policy in mind. Said policy comes with serious problems: consent is not an option; humans may find themselves monsterized against their will; and humans will eventually be outbred by monsters, hence be driven to extinction.

'''Cyril:''' You talk too much. *slashes her in the midriff*

* PrecisionFStrike: During the council meeting in Sheffield, one of the lords objects to Nial's claim that Ludendorf Trade Company is involved in the attack on the Union Festival. In response, Ancalagon threatens to [[ImpaledWithExtremePrejudice impale him on a spire]], ending off with "'''shut the fuck up and sit down'''".

* PunchedAcrossTheRoom: One of the nobles who are harassing Sasha Fullmoon's orphanage in Chapter 2 is struck on the head from Cyril's punch. He is then sent flying via a second punch. Does the victim come out unharmed? [[SurprisinglyRealisticOutcome No, he later ends up in a coma]].
