John certainly wasn't going to let Mystery Protector and Darklord just walk away.
He was aware that if he focused most of his attention on Darklord, Mystery Protector would undoubtedly manage to escape.
Therefore, John decided to temporarily let Darklord go, as the threat Darklord posed to him was not as significant as that of Mystery Protector.
Knowing he couldn't confidently eliminate both at the same time, John had to deal first with the one who posed the greatest threat to him.
John transformed into a streak of white light, swiftly flying towards Mystery Protector.
Mystery Protector reacted incredibly quickly as well. Realizing that John had locked him as the target, he boldly used all his power, summoning a gigantic Mystery Circle.
A series of powerful Mysteries appeared in front of Mystery Protector, forming an almost impenetrable defensive shield.
John's attacks were completely blocked by these shields.
