Hellmaster Phibrizzo
The primary antagonist in Slayers Next. Phibrizzo (冥王フィブリゾ, Herumasutā Fiburizo?) is the oldest and the most powerful of the five Demon Lords created by Ruby-Eye Shabranigdo. It is hinted that he is the second-in-command of the Mazokus. Like the other Mazokus, he seeks to destroy the world and return everything to the Sea of Chaos. He manifests as an androgynous little boy in order to better trick his victims.
Phibrizzo is extremely powerful, probably second only to Ruby-Eye Shabranigdo and Flare Dragon Ceiphied themselves. He has total control over Death and the souls of the departed, being able to raise thousands of people from the grave as living dead under his control with their memories and personality intact; to encase people in a life-absorbing green crystal or to kill anyone simply by breaking a golden marble that represents their lives. He is also highly intelligent and cunning, achieving his goals through complicated plans. He perfectly knows how to manipulate people and can pretend to be a normal child in a very convincing way.
His eagerness to destroy the world is far beyond any other Mazoku's, it is his dream instead of a single goal and he his exhilarated by its apparent success. Though cruel and sadistic, his personality somehow fits his childish appearance as he enjoys to make fun of his victims, to use people like toys to entertain him when he is bored, and he acts playful in general. Phibrizzo is the one who ignited the War of the Monster's Fall, first as a conflict between humans, then in a world wide war between Mazokus and Ryuzokus in order to awoke the part of Shabranigdo in the mage Lei Magnus. Phibrizzo is probably the one who decided to create the Mazoku Barrier which isolated the battlefields, weakening the Ryuzoku's forces. In Slayers Next, he elaborated a complicated scheme to force Lina Inverse to cast the Giga Slave, a spell using the power of the Lord of Nightmares powerful enough to destroy the world. First he had the former Demon Lord Gaav "informed" that he was planning something against him, involving Lina Inverse. Then he ordered Xellos to escort Lina, protecting her against Gaav's underlings and "guiding" her to the True Claire Bible so that she could learn the complete Giga Slave. Acting like a young pickpocket, he gained the trust of the Slayers group and followed them in order to be able to strike when Gaav would show up. However, Lina fearing the power of the Giga Slave defeated Gaav with the weaker Ragna Blade spell instead. When Gaav survives the attack, he reveals himself, finishing Gaav off with no more than a flick of his finger. He then proceeds to capture Gourry Gabriev, and holds him hostage to lure Lina in his temple of Sairaag. There he took down Lina's friends one by one and threatened to destroy Gourry, finally forcing her to cast the Giga Slave. He then tried to kill her to complete his plan. However, to his surprise the Giga Slave summoned the Lord of Nightmares herself in Lina's body. Desperate with his failure, Phibrizzo went literally mad and tried to destroy Lina's body, hoping to set the Lord of Nightmares free but the creator of the universe obliterated him, giving him the destruction he craved for.
