"Is it here?" Alex asked, observing the dark space that surrounded him with glittering eyes, something the others had never seen before. "Why did you guys store it here?"
"To prevent others from coveting it," Eugene responded in a tone filled with pride. "After you fainted, many tried to steal the item that the hobgoblin dropped. Your sword immediately destroyed the entire body of the hobgoblin, which is why the item hid under the blood, undetectable to those who didn't search carefully."
Alex patted Durendal, as if to praise it. The sword cried in a low tone as if accepting the praise with open arms.
"However, two people did find it after a couple of minutes of searching," Eugene continued. "A man named Gulf Cartel and a woman named Keeley Ostorius, who were suspected to be illegal immigrants from Mexico. They found it and tried running away, only to be stopped by one of Eric's undead."
"How did they find it before you guys," Alex asked, to which Eugene grimaced.
