I don't think the reason why Shalltear and Gargantua would be better for fighting the Deep Darkness Dragon Lord is due to negative energy. For example, when Evileye used Sand Field: All and infused it with negative energy, Demiurge didn't take any damage. I think it's reasonable to assume that all the guardians should be capable of resisting negative energy. If so, it would also explain why Ainz thinks his ability to inject negative energy by touch to be fairly worthless, because all high-level opponents would be immune to that. It would be more reasonable to assume that since Shalltear can use holy magic, she would have the advantage against a user of negative energy, as can be seen in the fight against Ainz. Also, Shalltear is easily the most versatile of all the guardians, meaning that she should be the one best equipped against wild magic. I prefer the theory that the Deep Darkness Dragon Lord is a necromancer/summoner type, that would explain how he could have overwhelmed the player and why Shalltear + Spuit Lance is a hard counter to him. My only problem with this theory is that Aura's pets should be able to suppress the summons and more, she has like 100 of them. Another reason could be that the Deep Darkness Dragon Lord over-relies on magic; if the magic that he uses is too weak to get past Shalltear's resistances, it would make sense why she would win. It is explained that she can resist a 10th-tier spell if the caster is just that weak. Personally, I don't know how you can cast 10th-tier magic and still be weak. I'm pretty sure that I read most players can't get past the 8th-tier.
