Elliot soon realized that the Sacred Well Cover could be very useful.
For instance, if they encountered an enemy whose defenses needed breaching, a behemoth like the War Fortress, and their attacks could not penetrate its defenses.
They could slap the Sacred Well Cover onto it and sacrifice a hole straight through it.
Taking that a step further, could they inscribe Sacrifice Runes on a warship's outer armor and sacrifice incoming shells outright...
From now on, sacrifices could even be divided into offensive sacrifices, defensive sacrifices, and stat-boosting sacrifices.
But on closer consideration, that probably was not realistic. The most basic issue was that, during a sacrifice, the person had to stand in a designated position on the altar and could not move.
