Bezaliel isn't falling for that fire trick twice. Instead, a creeping aura of shadow manifests around him, causing the flame to sputter and die before it can ever reach his eyes. He's doing that at about the same time that Smoky Quartz is going for a second swing, roping him in with those yoyo strings.

They very successfully catch him, but he uses that to his advantage. He jerks back against the strings, yanking Smoky forward, and going for them with his claws. The thing that is probably only becoming apparent now? His claws have all been coated in wrought iron. That, and that aura he's generating gives off some intensely bad vibes to be around.

This gives Yamantaka a chance to close distance with Ignatius and to give the chains a yank, but something about the iron seems to sap his otherworldly strength. Shima isn't that fae, but he's fae enough that iron is counteracting his will.

Ignatius groans at having his shackles rattles, coughing and choking up what looks like goopy obsidian, spilling from the side of his mouth like blood. He looks even worse up close, it seems.
