Chapter 942: Night Walk (15)
Baekho-gun granted me his divine protection through his true name.
At first, I couldn’t understand this.
It wasn’t because I didn’t trust his words, but because it didn’t match what I knew and what made sense to me.
The first contradiction that came to mind had two parts.
One was the condition for granting divine protection. Without mutual consent, one cannot receive divine protection.
Divine protection is the act of imbuing one’s presence into the recipient, which requires mutual agreement.
No matter how large the difference in strength, or how weak the other may be, divine protection cannot be established without the agreement of the other party.
A representative case of this is Kim Yuri.
Higher beings associated with water tried to grant Kim Yuri strength and divine protection.
When she received unwanted power and protection, she couldn’t reject the power with the Gwanglim sealing technique, but the divine protection didn’t continue.
As a result, Gwanglim persisted, and Kim Yuri gained the ability to summon water madness, but the higher beings failed to imbue her with their presence.
"But I don’t remember ever agreeing to receive Baekho-gun's protection, but that doesn’t mean I can assert that I don’t have it."
