Plot Overview
In Slayers NEXT, the second season of the anime, under the orders of Hellmaster Phibrizzo, Xellos follows Lina, sometimes helping but often hampering her quest to find the Claire Bible. During this time, he hides under the guise of a traveling priest, though he is revealed to be a Mazoku in the later episodes of the series. In the climactic showdown with Chaos Dragon Gaav, Xellos defends Lina and her friends from the attacks of Seigram and Gaav, though he takes a grievous wound in the process.
In the third season, Slayers TRY, Valgaav tries to summon Dark Star to the world of Ruby Eye. Xellos is sent to prevent the summoning and to bring Valgaav back to the Mazoku's side if possible. He helps Lina and her friends fight Valgaav and stop Dark Star from being released into their world.
In fourth and fifth seasons, his goal is to ascertain whether Red Priest Rezo's soul is all that was sealed in the Hellmaster's Jar, or whether the piece of Shabranigdo killed in the first season was sealed with it. If so, he is to prevent the demon lord's shard from breaking free, due to the unforeseeable consequences such an irregular awakening might have.

Famous quotes containing the word plot:
“We have defined a story as a narrative of events arranged in their time-sequence. A plot is also a narrative of events, the emphasis falling on causality. “The king died and then the queen died” is a story. “The king died, and then the queen died of grief” is a plot. The time sequence is preserved, but the sense of causality overshadows it.”
—E.M. (Edward Morgan)
