'Fear' is the answer there. She was going to be taken by the Rinne and possibely die there if she stayed too long. Adrenaline shots through your body and you get new forces. Also she wasn't that much of incapacitated, just dazed by the explosion and the sudden collapse. As she said, 'she needed to carry on', for a Flame Haze that has fought countless situations like that one, it's not a surprise to see that she managed to recover...

Very powerful flame haze haven't been able to do so in the past, but suddenly when it's important to the story that he die, BAM! he's dead. I suppose using those wings on his back to fly away from the slow-moving suit of armor (oh, wait; it suddenly learned to run in this episode) wouldn't occur to a character that is destined to die for there to be more drama and action.
Nietono no Shana is, as described in the novels, a high class weapon. It can cut through anything, be it an object or a spell. And it will definitely never break. Plus, Tenmokku Ikko is immune to all kind of Unrestricted Spells, so I'm guessing that this two things combined made the job of defeating his enemies a kids' game.

Besides, Fecor is not that powerfull. Magnesia is his only known attack so once you get pass it there isn't much of a fighter to beat. Also, Tenmokku was the fear of both, Flame Hazes and Denizens, to the point that they even got away from Asia to scape from him (before Shana's iniciation), so yes, he is pretty powerfull and Fecor didn't stand a chance.

I didn't found it endearing but it was a good arc , I still like Sorath's novel version better tho. They could have omitted the kissing, but well, they were the villains so they needed to be hated so their death would not be cryed.
