When his attention was drawn to his right, what Lazar saw was nearly a dozen mountains of sand whose height was ranging between more or less his for the smallest ones and more than 2 stories for the most imposing ones...
And when his gaze landed on his left, he saw even more mountains of sand with in addition 3 excavators, 2 big trucks with trailers filled with what seemed to be cement and a tower crane reaching about 60 meters high.
The analysis of his environment immediately made Lazar understand that if the fight was going to take place here it would be chaotic and also that the terrain would be even more to his and Amandla's advantage than he had originally thought because as if the sand wasn't already omnipresent enough around them, it was also everywhere on the ground, to such an extent that the soles of their boots were completely sunken in it where they were standing...
So, yeah, seen like that, it might seem to only be a problem for Lazar and Amandla considering that agility was Lazar's main characteristic as well as Amandla's second strongest point, but what Lazar saw beyond that was that it would be even more disadvantageous for the Alphas because it's easier to sink into the sand when you are barefoot compared to when you have boots...
And when he was thinking back to what Amandla had told him word for word yesterday shortly after beating the Alpha Ganipote, he knew they were on the same page on this, 'As far as the Alpha Ganipotes are concerned, I don't think we can match their physical strength, but that's another story if we're talking about their speed, we have an advantage over them on that front.'
That speed advantage Amandla had mentioned would now be more important and Lazar intended to capitalize on it as soon as the hostilities will begin with the Alphas; something that apparently wasn't going to happen right away because whether he was looking to his right, left or in front of him, Lazar couldn't see where they were...
As his eyes kept moving in all directions, Amandla dispelled his doubts, "Lift your head and look in front of us." She whispered to him in an unnaturally low voice and with such a hostile and cold expression on her face that when he saw her, Lazar knew at once that she had spotted their targets.
Lazar imitated Amandla who was herself doing what she had told him to do and so began to stare at the goal of this construction site, namely the metallic structure in front of them which was objectively nothing more than a grid of thick steel beams assembled end to end in a rectangle of about 45 meters high and 20 meters on each side and whose base was a huge square concrete slab...
From bottom to top, from top to bottom, from left to right, from right to left, again no matter where he was looking Lazar couldn't see anything or anyone and the fact that Amandla was staring insistently at a specific part of the structure gave him the impression that he wasn't seeing something that for her was clearly visible.
Having come to the conclusion that what he was doing was sterile, Lazar opened his mouth to ask Amandla what he was supposed to see, but before a sound could come out of it she turned to him and covered it with the index finger of her left hand which was her only free hand...
Taken by surprise, Lazar's eyes widened, not being used to being touched in this way his first impulse was wanting to push Amandla away, but before he could do so his logic took over and he thought that if she had done this she must have a rational reason and that he hadn't been smart enough to understand it yet.
After a few moments of tension during which the intertwined gazes of Lazar and Amandla each went through different layers of emotions, Lazar finally regained his composure and Amandla must have noticed because she removed her index finger from his mouth...
The former was about to start staring at the structure again in search of what he had missed, but before he had the chance Amandla approached him and almost stuck her lips to his left ear to whisper him something.
On the moment Lazar thought she was exceedingly close but when he heard the words pouring into his ear he changed his mind, thinking that for informations like this one can never be too careful, "They are at the very top of the structure, hidden behind metal beams." Amandla muttered before removing her lips from Lazar's ear with a slowness that Lazar would have found odd if his mind wasn't entirely focused on what she had given him to digest.
After a few seconds of consideration, Lazar's eyes landed on the spot where he imagined the Alphas were, then a few dozen meters lower to the beams about 15 meters off the ground, and finally they landed on his blade, 'The question isn't whether I can do it, but how fast I can do it.' He told himself as he directed his dark blue energy dotted with black particles from his hands to his gloves, from his gloves to his guard and so on until it reached the tip of his blade.
Lazar started to walk towards the structure with a resolute step, arrived at about 15 meters from it he noticed by the absence of movement above his head and the ambient silence that the Alphas still didn't consider that there was a valid reason to stop hiding...
He approached another 10 meters and then stopped, this time he didn't bother to check whether or not the Alphas had decided to reveal themselves, in a succession of movements as fast as his agility could allow him he made his sheath disappear into his inventory and then he clutched his blade with both hands before getting into position for a horizontal Dark Slash.
His goal was simple; he would bring the Alphas out of their hiding place by destroying it.
