Sanctum Sanctorum stacks with his other barriers

First things first, I finished preparing myself. I hesitated before deciding against using my new barriers just yet. The cost wasn’t an issue, in and of itself, since I still had a fair bit of Dust in store, but…there was still the issue of range. A few thousand cubic meters wasn’t a lot of room to fight a monster that size and I wasn’t sure if anything I made would be strong enough to contain such a monster. If I had more time to train, some way of expanding the limits…

It was a pity, truly. The effects stacked, after all, and if I directed Sanctum Sanctorum and Safe Haven against the Grimm, it would shave off a large chunk of its power. I wasn’t skilled enough with Temple yet to apply its effects selectively, but my HP and MP regeneration was so much higher than anyone else’s, I still came out far ahead from the bonus. If the barriers had been strong enough, they could have kept it contained and at least given me time to react if it called for aid. All the cards would have been in my favor and even in the worst case scenario, I could’ve always given it the runaround for a bit until I regained enough power to act, what with a vast boosted HP and MP regeneration.
