This does not state his invulnerability; it is a prophecy. Theoretically he can be killed by anyone; practically, he will fall, but not by the hand of a man. Even Melkor, the mightiest foe ever, feared for his body; if he couldn't make himself invicincible, how could a mere ringwraith, a mortal after all? And, according to Myths Transformed, Melkor's fear was founded, since he was finnally executed before being thrust out into the void.
