Mazoku Hierarchy
The more powerful a Mazoku is, the more it becomes faithful to its creator. So Xelloss won't do anything against the Greater Beast, and Xellas Metalliom won't disobey to Shabranigudo. Yes, Garv the Chaos Dragon betrayed Shabranigudo,but it was because of the trick by the Aqualord (one of four alter egos of the Suifeed the Flare Dragon).

"'We, the servant Mazokus are absolute obedience to the higher class Mazokus.' Xelloss said. 'Raltark and Rarshart became our enemies under the command of Garv the Chaos Dragon.'
'Hey, you say the Mazokus are absolute obedience to the higher class Mazokus, then how Garv can defiant against Ruby Eye?' I(Lina) asked.
'Well, there were something beyond our control' Xelloss said as if he had no concern about that matter."
(The same as above)
The lower class Mazoku isn't so faithful that it sometimes changes its master. For example, once Seigram the Faceless was of the organization of the Greater Beast. Lina and Gourry stood between it and its plans when they defeated Halcifom in Atlas.
Before that Fibrizo had ordered to the Mazokus not to kill Lina Inverse. Seigram couldn't revenge itself on Lina as long as it belonged to the Greater Beast. So it run away from the organization, and joined to the Chaos Dragon.
Even the higher class Mazoku changes its master, but it happens only when the master is gone. In the episode "King of the Ghost City", Rarshart, ex-general of Garv, obeyed orders of Phiblizo after the death of the Chaos Dragon.

It is natural for a Mazoku to obey a more powerful Mazoku. But to draw the power of a more powerful Mazoku is dangerous for any Mazoku. As I wrote above, a Mazoku can't think anything which leads them to deny their own existence. If a Mazoku chants a spell to draw the power of a more powerful Mazoku, it will die before it completes the incantation.
"Lina : Why do you force me to cast a Giga Slave? If you really want to die with this universe, you can cast it and let it out of control, and that's the end, right?
Fib : If I could, I surely would. Unlike a lesser-demon or brass-demon, which has a physical body in this material world, I and other pure Mazoku are so-called spiritual life forms. If we chanted an incantation that channels the power of another existence, we would deny our own existence. It is the same thing as to comitting suicide for us. Sometimes we cast a sharmanistic magic spell, but we need a proper reason to use it. Besides we can't cast a black magic spell that channels the power of other sub-lords, our Dark Lord, or the Great One. I would be dead before I completed the incantation."
