If the card leaves the graveyard before the last ability granted by Nazgûl Battle-Mace resolves, the opponent will still have the option to pay 3 life. Regardless of their choice, you can't put the card onto the battlefield, even if it returns to the graveyard before the ability resolves.

If you put an Aura on the battlefield using the last ability granted by Nazgûl Battle-Mace, you choose what the Aura will enchant just before it enters the battlefield. An Aura put onto the battlefield this way doesn't target the player or permanent it will enchant, so permanents or players with hexproof may be chosen; however, the chosen recipient must be able to legally be enchanted by the Aura, so a player or permanent with protection from one of the Aura's qualities can't be chosen this way. If there's nothing legal for the Aura to enchant, it stays in the graveyard.

If an opponent sacrifices a nontoken permanent as part of paying the cost of a spell or ability, the last ability granted by Nazgûl Battle-Mace will trigger and go on the stack on top of that spell or ability. The ability granted by Nazgûl Battle-Mace will resolve before that spell or ability.
