Xellos - Powers

Powers

Unlike most dark lords, who create one general and one priest, Zelas Metallium created a priest/general combo – Xellos. As the only Mazoku under Zelas' command, Xellos is extremely powerful – he is undoubtedly the most powerful being outside of Ruby Eye's direct subordinates. Lina's group is therefore cautious of his movements, because if he were to become their enemy, their defeat would be almost certain.

He is immune to most magic; nothing short of a direct hit from Lina's Ragna Blade or Gourry's Sword of Light can stun him, assuming that his enemies are fast enough to strike him in the first place.

Like all Mazoku, Xellos can teleport by phasing into and out of the Astral Side, the realm of spiritual existence in the Slayers world. He uses this ability to his advantage in battle, blinking between the Physical and Astral planes like a strobe light to make his movements more confusing.

Xellos is capable of annihilating nearly anything using his own power. This is best shown by his destruction of an entire clan of Golden Dragons with a casual gesture. However, he tends to underestimate his opponents; he is, for example, severely beaten by Valgaav.
