Welcome to Mysterious Ways, a shrine devoted to providing correct information regarding everyone's favourite trickster priest, Xelloss. Xelloss is one of the leading characters in Slayers, an anime and manga series created by Hajime Kanzaka and Rui Araizumi.

Many people who are fans of Xelloss often overlook the fact that he is genuinely an evil character, despite the fact that he always looks cheerful. As the old saying goes, don't judge a book by it's cover. Mysterious Ways is here to remind people about Xelloss' true nature. Some have mistaken this site to be an anti-Xelloss shrine. On the contrary, I happen to like Xelloss a lot and this site in no form slanders the character. I believe it's a waste of time to create a detailed site about something you hate.

This is the archived version of Mysterious Ways. This means that the site will no longer be updated because everything that could be done has already been done. There's not much else that I can add to this site and as opposed to shutting it down completely or worry about the lack of updates, I have decided to provide an archived edition of the site.

The current layout for Mysterious Ways is horizontal as opposed to vertical (like most sites are). In order to view the content of this site, you will have to use the scroll bar found at the bottom of your browser. Otherwise, this site functions like any other. I hope you enjoy the change of pace! Below are the links to the content of the site.
