After almost fourteen hours of dull and tedious flight, Lucius finally arrived before his spaceship, which was lifelessly floating through space.
Sighing inwardly, Lucius thought to himself, 'It took too long and too much energy to get back here. Stage 3 is very inefficient for space travel.'
Gently landing atop the roof of the slender black vessel, Lucius continued, 'I need to quickly ascend to the next stage.'
At Stage 3, one could only use their soul power to propel their body through space. Not only did this process consume a lot of soul power, but it was also very inefficient both time-wise and energy-wise.
While he could use his racial ability, [Void Travel] to cut down on both these factors, Lucius did not want to rely on his racial skills unless absolutely necessary.
