There's a lot going on all at once, and via a lot of methods Bezaliel wasn't necessarily expecting. The bombs are enough of a distraction on their own, but before he can meaningfully dispell them, Rin has thrown a blast of fire in his face.

It blinds him, if only for a moment. In the meantime, that means that Smoky Quartz can go careening right into him, still dwarfed by the bear's size but big enough to count. They knock him back, almost causing him to fall off of the pillar.

In the meantime, the tadpole bombs are wreaking havoc in the general area. They strike the pillars holding the prisoners, but in a proximity that is dangerously close to exploding the prisoners themselves. They don't yet manage to break through the shadows, but the chaos is enough to allow all these other things to happen.

Completely helpless, Ignatius closes his eyes and tries not to die, his breaths coming in faltering gasps.
