There have been minor adjustments made to the anime (and manga) compared to the light novel (let alone web version), and I think that this guy getting off so relatively lightly compared to the rest of the workers might be one of them.

I mean, it might be funny if, instead of finishing him off, Hamsuke let's his 'team' go to 'treat' his wounds and they get to actually kill him rather than just kicking his corpse around. But as long as Arche and the rest of Foresight are killed (with Roberdyck ending up as experimental material), I'm thinking that Erya has to get something significantly worse. Maybe that would undermine the whole theme of moral ambiguity or something, but I don't feel it would be difficult to justify.

After all, while it's not really explicated clearly, I think there is no way this guy avoided being disrespectful to Momon in ways that couldn't be expiated with a thousand deaths even before invading Nazarick. So one can easily imagine the Guardians having become aware of this and having made special arrangements. Heck, I can imagine Ainz specially commanding it.

I know I would.

Keep him as a punching bag, let him use his vaunted sword to hit me till all his limbs were too broken to continue, throw him in the black coffin till he needed to be healed, let Neuronist take loving care of his body for a while, then repeat till I was feeling like he'd suffered enough.

Which would be never, by the way. I would literally never get bored of breaking this guy while laughing at his pathetic sword skills. It would be especially delightful if the hellish training pushed him to increase his abilities, making it even more fun to crush him like a bug, then feed him to bugs, then tenderly restore him to fighting condition.

To mix it up I'd turn him over to Demiurge to force feed him his own broiled flesh so that he got enough protein. Yeah, I think I'd like to occasionally fight him with a flaming weapon, so his meat would already be cooked when I sent him to beef up.

I suppose eventually he'd die of old age or whatever, and it's not like I'd waste a Wish on a Star or anything like that once he was too far gone to be usable. But that wouldn't be because I was feeling merciful so much as because he's not worth spending actual resources.
