but also i really like the idea that there IS something that can put them to rest for good - makes them seem less invincible than they’d like to think themselves

I think that one of the major threats is not just Mordekaiser’s sheer power, but what he knows. The Black Rose is entirely based around secrets and keeping those secrets, but then here comes an ancient reanimated hunk of armor who has absolutely no interest in maintaining that smoke-and-mirror reputation of the people who betrayed him. And he knows their past. He knows who they once were, and subsequently, who they are now. 

So it’s not only that he’s going to slowly rip them limb from limb--- the Black Rose can handle that, it’s happened before--- but he’s also going to reveal every secret they’ve been keeping for centuries. And that’s the real scary part, and a consequence of what happens when you decide to keep immortal allies, even for a short period of time. They learn about you, and of course no one knows better than the Black Rose that knowledge is power.
