Cocytus was ordered by his master Ainz Ooal Gown to take charge of leading the undead army of Nazarick and used them to wipe out the lizardmen located in the Great Lake. Seeing that his own army was about to be defeated by the lizardmen, Cocytus began to seek out a request from Demiurge. Left with no other choice, he deploys his trump card, the sub-commander Iguva=41, onto the battlefield. When Iguva=41 got killed off by Zaryusu Shasha and the Lizardmen Alliance had triumphed over his undead army, Cocytus accepted his defeat and that his mission to annihilate the lizardmen was a total failure on his part.^[2]
