Way too complicated. You can defeat Death in one go in the Bloodless Stockade without resorting to any convoluted jiggery-pokery. Refer to the "Farming" Death section on the Bloodless Stockade page:

http://dragonsdogma.wikia.com/wiki/The_Bloodless_Stockade

It discusses two techniques--(1) MA from an ambush point and (2) the use of Blast Arrows. Death is not in his battle stance when attacked from the ambush point so damage is magnified and he can be defeated in one go without difficulty. The video on the page shows a Post-Daimon Hard difficulty encounter.

Just to demonstrate this is no fluke and is repeatable, I have a blog entry on Farming Death in the Bloodless Stockade. It includes a 20 min video. The first ten minutes show how to get to the Ambush Point in the Bloodless Stockade from Cassardis. The second ten minutes depict four full-health Death kills in one go with no intervening saves, Godsbanes, or the like:

I should point out that my Arisen is balanced but favors strength 60-40. MAs with a greater magick to strength ratio will be able to inflict more damage with the magick-only Ricochet Hunters attacks.

If you're willing to invest more time, and I strongly recommend it, you can learn Ghost's MK techniques. Refer to this thread:

Whereas MA can easily defeat Death in one go in confined spaces with ricochet hunters and physical bow carriers can do so anywhere with a very large number of Blast Arrows; the MK's Magick Cannons can defeat Death in one go out in the open requiring only Periapts or other boosters to ensure that maximum damage is inflicted in a very short period of time.

Happy hunting.
