Well that's easy: She's not going to because she literally has no reason to and there's no reason in or out of universe why she should. Let me give you several in-universe reasons and out-of-universe reasons to argue that claim.

In-Universe:

1. She would wish to help out Blake and may desire to stay by her side.

2. She'll has a personal connection to Mantle and Atlas and as such may go there to face her demons.

3. The Heroes need all the help they can get and considering their party consists of 8 trainee huntsmen, one farmboi that hasn't fully adapted to the old man living inside him, and a perpetually drunk huntsman that can easily butt heads with Ironwood and has little faith in his own decision making skills when not blindly following Oz, they could use another fighter if only to give them another fighter.

Out-Of-Universe:

1. They laid the groundwork for a plotline involving Atlas and Ilia after detailing her backstory.

2. They've been building her up for a volume and a half and are unlikely to push her aside (In contrast to Neptune who they only built on for the equivalent of one arc and then pushed to the background)

3. They had Cherami Leigh voice her rather than one of the Rooster Teether's, and would probably want to get their moneys worth on her voice acting skill.
