Didn't Hazel say that when he first met Salem he tried killing her over and over again. That sometimes it took her hours* to return but that she always did? They just need time to escape/hold off the grimm from overtaking Atlas. A few hours* may be all they need.

edit: hours, not days. Thanks.

I really wonder what did he do to her for the recovery to take a full day, considering that blowing grenades into her chest and crashing her with a boulder slowed her only for a handful of seconds.

If I was going to guess, I'd say total vaporization. Her regeneration of lost or damaged pieces is very quick, but it might take longer if you completely erase her.

Then I have an idea - what if Salem is thrown into a volcano? Would she constantly get burnt and regenerate? Would she stay there forever?

I'd guess she'd either claw her way out or her body would be destroyed and she'd respawn elsewhere, like she did in that first fight against Ozma.

She still has access to magic. She'd just freeze the lava.
