Chapter 04: The Ibex

The Black Shadow's sleep was interrupted by the beautiful girl named Amina.

"Get up! Get up!" 

"ruh 'azimah), Hurry! You need to get up"-Amina wakes up Black Shadow shaking his hands as he needs to get ready.

Amina Looks at him said, "Hakim has sent men to look for Master Nadim" Amina was trembling with fear.

Probably these men will kill him and take her back for torture, her hands are shaking. The girl was like in shock. The Black Shadow had to do something. She began to shiver in fear!

The Black Shadow got up in his feet. His jaws tightened. He was completely naked. His big muscular body was covered with herbal oil. The big veins in the muscles were visible. Some herbal medicine was wrap around to cover his wound in the belly. Although the medicine worked like wonders as if the wounds had almost healed. The infection was in control. Pain had decreased also. He feels less pain only the bruise mark remains as he sees his wounded area.

His eyes widen as he picks up a sword, and signals Amina to keep it quiet and hide. These guards had heavy weapons in their hands, dressed in white robes riding black horses. These guards were looking around the tents.

Suddenly one of the guards found the dead bodies. And he screamed loudly-

"Murder!! Murder!! Alert! Alert! Master Nadim has been murdered."

Suddenly all the guards began to be to run towards that guard, they became cautious and they spread around to have a closer look for the murderer.

"Let's separate and check all the tents" one of the leaders of the guards told all of them.

One guard came close to the tent of to kill the intruder. The Black Shadow was quick to outfox him.

"Damn those guards again." Black Shadow cursed and stomped his feet on the ground. He stood firmly on his legs and held back waiting for the right moment to arrive. He was like a tiger waiting for its pray to come within his range.

As the guard came close to check for the murderer, Immediately Black Shadow attacked him like a jaguar, he made a heavy blow with the sword to his arm, that was near to him. The blow with the sword of Black Shadow hit one of the guards in hands and instantly took his right hand off- it fell in the ground!

The guard began to cry loudly in pain.

The Black Shadow swing up the sword again towards the guard for second time, and he pushed the sword inside his belly and threw the spear to another guard's head to kill him instantly while he was standing tall in his feet.

The spear came out from the hands of Black Shadow like a bullet and pierced his skull.

The Black Shadow gaze in darkness, his mind is already racing for the next kill. The other guards spread around the tents carefully. They knew that the intruder is tough to catch so, they had to kill the intruder.

"Hunter's like you don't just walk away? We will pay for this"- screamed the leader of the guards.

"Show no mercy, kill him"- he screamed loudly.

Black Shadow jaw strengthened and he holds his breath for the next attack. Then he did not hesitate any moments to strike another guard with a deadly blow to his chest to rip it open.

The Black Shadow said sharply," all the soul of you devil should perish today."

Following the voice other two superior guards came to Black Shadow, they both has big tattoo on his chest.

"Who are these Amina?"- The Balck Shadow asking while holding Amina to go behind her back.

"These looks as Ibex tattoo. Ibex are a -big mountain goats with long horns. These are good fighters. So, be more careful."

The superior guard (Ibex) screamed at Black Shadow, "You need to stop hunter. Stop in the name of the forbidden god, I dare you dare to stop, otherwise you will be vanished in Hell. We are the men of Master Hakim. We are the Ibex army. The men of the Djin hunter. We dare you to stop!"

He added, "You come and surrender, otherwise you will be destroyed."

The Black Shadow had a smirk in his face and he said loudly,

 "Hakim! This is for you, I will kill send every bad soul to hell."

The entire place was trembling with his voice. The sound was so loud both Ibex guard feared, "who is this man or a monster?"

The Black Shadow threw heavy blow with the sword into his body to kill him and gave another blow to the other Ibex guards and kicked him hard in the face. They fall down in the ground.

The third one of the Ibex, hit him back with massive force with a big long box stick, it broke in the body of the Black Shadow as if it was a jute stick. He was in shock!

Black Shadow grabbed the Ibex guard's neck tightly with his left hand and continued to punch hard with the right hand until he was out of his breath.

Then another Ibex guard came him to hit him with a spear. The Black Shadow gave a smile to show pity. This one (Ibex guard) went like flying into the ground with rapid speed by a kick of Black Shadow.

The fifth of the Ibex guard came from behind and hit him in his back with a log. Black shadow took one blow in his neck but manage to hit back and punched him to crash his skull.

Now another Ibex guard came close and he draw the sword but he kicked him hard so he was knocked out.

Then Black Shadow came close of the Ibex guard who was riding a horse, he kicked the Ibex guard so hard that the guard fell down, he fall gave the Ibex no time to rise up before the Black Shadow killed the this one with his sword.

"Well we are almost done, look like you are the last." – Black Shadow said at the last guard was stand little far. The guard was very afraid, seeing the hunter like a monster killing all his army.

He knelt down to his legs, dropped his weapons and began to beg for his life.

"Don't kill me. Spare my life. I beg of you."

He was shorter and thinner than the other guards. He threw his sword away and asked Black shadow to spare his life.

"I am your servant, spare my life, I am an innocent man. Made no harm to anyone, I will not make any harm to you." -as he knelt on his knees.

Amina came close to him…In a rush Amina took the knife of Fatema (which was on the table)…. and she pushed the knife hard into the eyes of the guard….

The guard screamed and all his blood was pouring out of his body and then he became green and lie down in the ground. 

Amina shouted at him- "You bastard!, I will never spare you, You Iblis, You go to hell".

Then she began to cry holding her face down in the earth.

Black Shadow holds her and asks, " what happened, Amina?"

"I saw my sister Zana was brutally raped by this bustard, this one is a pure evil. My sister was raped, tortured and taken away from me by this bustard."

"Who are these men? And who is Hakim?''- Black Shadow seeking for answers from Amina…
