If a Pained unit has nowhere to retreat, is it Killed or Eliminated?

The rulebook's Applying Battle Results section says a unit with no retreat is Eliminated, and posters agree.

Eliminated, not Killed. If no adjacent Area is legal for a Pained unit, the owner Eliminates one of the Pained units and the rest stay in the Battle Area. Regeneration does not save it, and it does not count as a Kill for Kill-based abilities such as Cannibalism. A Great Old One can be the unit Eliminated.
