enemy returns a while after being defeated by the mc
mc「ど、どうしてあなたが……！ この間滅したはずなのに……！？」
enemy「お前を倒さずして、消滅などできん！」
enemy charges....
i will "do it" without beating you, i can't extinguish you, makes no sense in context.
What is he trying to say?

お前を倒さずして、消滅などできん！
I can never vanish without/before defeating you!
未然形 + ずして is a literary way of saying "without ～ing". It's a literary version of ～ないで or ～ずに. See: 闘わずして勝つ vs. 闘わずに勝つ
