Chapter 1368 Chapter 1368 Bit of Blue

?--- Blue --- (Just before Lily found the race biome)

Blue was getting annoyed. She had all of this treasure following her around but no storage treasures... if you ignored the four storage rings, three storage bracelets and a single storage tiara that she'd found. Of course, with Blue not bothering to check most of the items, especially the rings, she was stuck believing that she hadn't found anyway to store all of her shit. The tiara was actually more than large enough to store the massive cloud of stuff twice over and still have some space spare.

Currently, Blue was using the two carpets, a curtain set, and a particularly large vase to store things and help reduce the mana cost. But that in and of itself was the issue. Reduce the cost, not eliminate it. Even with all the tricks she could make use of with water surrounding her on all sides her mana regeneration was not up to the task. Carting all of this around was not going to be possible forever.

Blue was reasonably sure that the final hour hadn't started yet. She'd actually seen the net a few times just because her search spell pushed her in that direction fairly often. It seemed that Thyme left a whole bunch of treasure chests right at the edge that you needed to get in the first two hours or be left without... or perhaps in the case of the ones that Blue had found attached to the net itself, they were meant to be dragged along until the arena shrunk giving the contestants something to fight over.

*Well it's something at least. I just don't know what the best thing to do here is. I've got my treasures, and the only reason I still want more is to ensure that I get somewhere to store everything... so should I just head for the centre and try to find a way to fortify a nice spot? The main issue with that is making myself a target. If the others realise just how many treasures I have it'd be a simple way to make an alliance. Just 'hey let's take out Blue and split her treasures'.

Deepest seas. I could see all four of them teaming up against me if they're as far behind on treasures as I think they are. I did try to stay away from areas that looked like someone had moved through... but not that hard. So I'm a bit shocked I haven't seen everyone at least once.*

Blue let out a sigh and casually cast the search spell again just to see if there was a nice collection of chests nearby that would justify moving once she had her mana back. Blue frowned at the spells results. "That... that can't be right," Blue mumbled as she cast the spell again. Sure enough, she got the same result. Dozens of chests all unopened and stacked together in a spot right at the edge of her range. "What... why is there so many over there? Is there like a chest shop or something?"

Blue had seen a few little events that Thyme had set up around the place. A race, a dance contest, and an archery range. She'd ignored all of them in favour of picking up hidden treasures. For someone with a search spell it was just faster. However... that was a LOT of chests all in one place. Even though her own cloud of treasures certainly included more points... it was still a tempting target. Assuming it was something Blue could take advantage of.

So Blue pulled all of the treasure out of the cave with her magic. Even going so far as to peak back in and double check to ensure that she'd left nothing behind. Once she had everything Blue started to propel herself towards the chests, interested to see what she'd find. In the distance she could make out a structure of some kind... that quickly became clear enough to distinguish itself as a coliseum with some chests peaking out over the top.

*Prizes?* Pondered Blue as she got closer and closer. The coliseum was clearer now. It had a few major entrances and a bunch of 'windows' at the top. You could see chests peaking through from a number of them as well and Blue knew that this had potential to be a big pay day. She was certain that any fair fight Thyme might have set up could be won by her if she got into the arena. Even if the water was kept outside, just the ability to take in a bunch with her would be enough.

That was, until Blue crested over the top of the stadium and saw a large imposing figure moving around, opening the chests. Yes, they were prizes, but not ones Blue could earn. It seemed that someone had gotten here first. The figure was obviously March... despite the strange collection of clothing she was wearing. Blue almost wanted to laugh... but any notion of amusement died a swift death when Blue noticed that March was staring up at her. March, had realised she was there first. While underwater. Suddenly, this felt like a much more dangerous decision.
