Assassination of Elf King Decem

エルフ王デケム・ホウガンの死 · World & History · Battles & Events

Vol. 16, during the Theocracy army's attack on the elven capital: Elf King Decem first fought Ainz in the royal castle, lost, and fled, and was then killed by the Black Scripture's Extra Seat (Antilene), who had slipped into the castle.

• The Theocracy had earlier committed the Fire Extinction Scripture to support its invasion force, held back single-handedly by Rugi; vice-captain Schoen killed Princess Rugi and was then killed by the Behemoth summoned by Decem, who appeared; only then did the Theocracy decide to send its strongest, the Extra Seat
• The Extra Seat is the daughter born after Decem abducted and violated the Theocracy's trump card Faine, so the mission was also personal
• Marshal Valerian led the Theocracy army against the city, and the Extra Seat slipped into the royal castle under cover of the assault
• Decem encountered Ainz and the twins on the lower level of the treasury and fought Ainz; when Ainz went on the offensive, Decem managed to flee, with Mare in pursuit
• The Extra Seat killed Decem inside the royal castle (the timeline also records that she "killed him once more"); the women in Decem's room were brutally slain by her
• The Extra Seat then fought the pursuing Mare, was captured by him, and taken to Nazarick's Frozen Prison; from her memories Ainz learned that Shalltear's brainwashing was the Slane Theocracy's doing, and resolved to destroy it
• Decem is a summoning-specialized druid who once inflicted devastating losses on the Black Scripture over a hundred years ago; he commands "Behemoth", a level-87 Primal Earth Elemental, and Ainz estimates his level at 70–80
• Specific details of his death—pinned underfoot after being subdued, suffocated, and finally having his spine stomped and broken (unverified)

Notes

Decem means "ten" in Latin, so one theory in Japanese sources holds that his father (one of the Eight Greed Kings) may have been called "Kurou Hougan"—that is, Minamoto no Yoshitsune.
