It's just risky to throw away a second chance, especially when someone was just trying to kill you and you're standing near a pool of eternal nothingness. He took that risk and lost. He was foolish enough to think he suddenly had the upperhand just because Belle showed him mercy.

It is still sad though : ( Some characters will just stubbornly keep on the same path until they have to be stopped in anyway possible, often resulting in death. In the end its their choice.
