Wallace stared at the wide screen in front of the pilot seat that has booted up. The blue light coming from it lighten up the small space he was in. Apparently, before the system booted up, there wasn't a light within the ship at all. It was due to Wallace's improved vision that he was able view the dark surroundings as if it was normal.

He didn't noticed this at first as he was focused in observing the whole place. Only until his eyes adjusted to the light did he notice about his new ability.

”Is it a perk for merging with the Cube?”

Wallace could only wryly smile at this.

He checked the familiar panoramic screen and noticed that something is 'loading' at the corner of the wide screen so he asked question to the A.I. to clarify.

”What's still missing? Can we still fly this ship?”

[ Negative. The ship doesn't have enough Aether. ]

”Is there anyway we can sort that out?”

[ Assistive Ten-fold Scan Activated. No Aether being detected within 19 AU. Unable to find option to refill the Aether. ]

Wallace was disappointed upon hearing that there's no source of Aether within that vast distance. It was unfortunate but he was impressed that his spaceship could still scan that far, to scan 19 astronomical units was not an easy task since he was fully aware how the ever present mana in this planet could affect most communication methods.

'Well, it's not like I could collect an Aether outside this planet.' Wallace helplessly thought his current situation.

He had already checked the situation outside the ship and saw that they were enclosed by a spherical glass in the same place where he landed the ship. But the rocks and trees nearby was already removed and aside from the few patches of grass on the ground, he saw a familiar figure outside. It was him, a figure wearing a bio-armour clutching its chest. The figure no longer possessed his other weapons but the dagger attached to the armour itself was still intact.

There's also one thing that he noticed, it seems that a part of bio-armour was removed somewhere around the figure's head.

”Are they trying to see if there's really a person inside it?” Wallace pondered. Honestly, he was also curious and wanted to see the body. But at the very least, he was glad that the bio-armour was tough as the Z-Company seems to be troubled on removing the armour. He don't want some high level magician study that body.

Two decades had passed and they weren't even capable of removing a part where a person's skin, or probably bone, would show. The removed part was still too shallow, which he actually found weird. The strength of high level magicians here could not be taken lightly. The spaceship's Hadron beam might even be blocked by Grade A defensive Mana Artifact weilded by an Adept Mage. The bio-armour, although very tough, it wasn't to the point we're it could defend against a Hadron Beam.

It means that there's something protecting the figure that was why they can't move it elsewhere and take apart the armour. Wallace would investigate about this later once he had found a safe place for himself and the spaceship. After all, this spaceship was his only way out of this planet for his future exploration unless there is another spaceship he could use. It's importance is higher than his bio armour outside.

Of course, Wallace would like to take it with him in his ship but unfortunately, there were four high level magician suspected to be an Adept closely guarding their position outside.

He can't just go out there, open the hatch of his spaceship, pick up the bio-armour, and return to the spaceship unscathed. The four would definitely stop him with all cost.

There was also this other person he had to keep in check, the magician whom he'd encountered and even had to use his Fervor Timepiece to surprise him and have a chance for his escape. He was not included on the four but Wallace felt that the guy was sitting on top of the dome itself overlooking the whole area.

”Haaa~”
