A truly formidable opponent also never dies this early on in a conflict, do they? I'm certain that upon bringing her within death's view would cause her to teleport away and flee. This battle isn't consequential enough for we to risk her life like that.

They probably don't die this early because nobody ever goes for a quick kill. If you ask me, it should be as simple as kill, burn, and if you're feeling particularly cautious, place the remaining atoms in a nuclear reactor, and then use the energy to power something menial.
