 for nfirea, his alchemy was not very mportant to ainz, i see the similitude in the plot byou're talking about, but ainz saved nfirea from zuranon to get lizzy, his granma to make potions for nazarick not nfirea,

ainz didnt kill nfera not because of his alchemy, but because of his innate talent, that ought to be usefull,  specially since nfera showed his graatitude after realizing that momon is ainz who saved enri and carne village 

Did Lizzie even register on his radar back then? I don't really recall Lizzie being mentioned in any of the conversation between Ainz and the Sword of Darkness. Nfirea's the one who caught his attention with the rumor of his talent. Nfirea approached Ainz in person rather than Lizzie. Lizzie only appeared when Ainz stepped out of the guild after registering Hamsuke. Not to mention that Nfirea's more useful in the long run because of his young age whereas Lizzie is probably in her twilight years. Her potion brewing expertise is a plus but I think Ainz wanted Lizzie back during the zombie incident because she's more useful in spreading his name than the Sword of Darkness who are all dead at that point; much famous too. Nfirea should have already learnt a huge amount of knowledge from Lizzie at that point.

Nfirea's talent may be useful but also dangerous. Unless he really does find a way to use him, there's really no point of leaving him alive. Coincidentally, he ends up being a useful "hostage" for both Enri and Lizzie, a situation which Ainz used for a good effect at the end of the Lizardman arc when he threatened Crusch with Zaryusu's life on the line. In a triangular way, Nfirea's useful to keep Lizzie in check whereas Enri is too precious for Nfirea to even think of going against Ainz. Of course, Ainz's precious machination of the situations to let the people feel indebted to him also plays a role.
