After their conversation, Kingserp and Mystery Protector decided to leave immediately.
They were both acutely aware of the significant risk of remaining in that location any longer.
Mystery Protector, after surveying the surroundings and confirming that John was not nearby, planned to rendezvous with other members of the Order Faction.
He believed it was critical not to let the other members suspect that he might have had other plans in the shadows, as this posed too great a risk for him.
However, upon meeting with Shatras, Mystery Protector realized he had underestimated Darklord.
Darklord had demonstrated formidable strength in the previous battle, using just a mirror to trap the Guard General Natasha, something Mystery Protector himself could not have achieved.
The formidable nature of Darklord's combat abilities was unmistakably evident, whether these were attributed to his own immense power or the exceptional strength endowed by the mirror he possessed.
