[Well, shit. Hijikata should've known better than to treat this battle like a cakewalk, given what happened to Ayato (who he knows is a highly skilled fighter) and Kaveh (who probably isn't bad either!). Seeing Kaeya's Vision Shield shatter, he loses no time launching the just-loaded rocket.
With the shadow arm not pinned down, the missile doesn't hit dead center as he wanted to, but it still tears a sizeable hole into the dark mass. Hijikata shoves the empty bazooka into his bag while summoning a dozen fire swords in the air above the arm, then sends them all down to impale and burn it. While the fire doesn't spread outside the embedded blades' immediate radius, the creature still thrashes like crazy, and he hurries to elongate the blades into a length sufficient to pin it before semi-solidifying them into lava.
He has no idea if Kaeya will be able to make a new shield after breathing in the poisonous air, so he yells:]
Kaeya, get out!! I've got this--
[But turning around to check on him, he sees that he partway assumed his gargoyle form. Is this going to help..? He has no idea if it'll give him any resistance to the poison, but the lightning crackling to life in his hands shows that he has no intention of withdrawing from the battle. Alright, then--!
Once the lightning hits the monster, Hijikata will create a large lava axe to cut and burn through the shadowy mass while it twitches under the electricity, focusing on the area damaged by the bazooka rocket. It'll take a good amount of mana and focus, but they may just be able to slice it apart like the other one!]
