Hao's laughter drowned out a scream that came from some direction and became even louder when he saw the fire of his guardian spirit wandering towards Horo. But immediately he fell silent. With immeasurable horror he saw a strong gust of wind that stopped the attack. The fire was blown away and with it the spirit of the fire. His attention was with Horo the whole time, so that he neglected the cover. Angrily he looked in the direction from which the gust of wind was coming and his heart threatened to stop. Horo did not immediately understand what had happened because he was expecting his death at any moment. He looked up at Hao and saw his horrified face. He had never seen the villain like this before. Questioningly he followed his gaze and he saw the reason for Hao's horror, because now his heart wanted to stop at any moment. He opened his eyes and saw Yuna standing a few meters in front of a hut. She held her sai fork in her hand.Hao jumped to the Spirit of Fire, which had now recovered from the gust of wind.
"Horo!"
Yuna ran to Horo and saw a lot of blood on his body. Her eyes got wet. Horo's eyes were still wide, but without hesitation he pulled Yuna close.
"Yuna! I thought ... I thought you were already ..."
He hugged her even tighter until she could hardly breathe. But she didn't care because she was so happy to be in Horo's arms again. But she gently pushed him away.
"You are badly injured!"
Horo had to cough.
"It ... it's not that bad ..."
"But you can barely breathe and ..."
Suddenly a malicious voice interrupted her.
"So you survived. I admit that you surprised me very much. But neither of you have a chance against me!"
"Yes! I found a way to defeat you, you wretched pig!"
Hao and Horo looked at her in surprise at the same time.
"Yuna ... is that true?" She asked Horo
"The girl is lying. Nobody can beat me," said Hao calmly."But you can't take on the Cold Death!"
Hao's eyebrows rose for a moment, but then he began to laugh.
"You mean the fighting technique of the Usuis? I admit that the Cold Death is a powerful fighting technique. But it cannot compete with my spirit of fire. The Usuis had no chance against me. And besides, I do not believe that you can controlled."
Yuna smiled.
"Not me, but Horo. He comes from the Usui family!"
Horo looked at her in surprise.
"Yuna, how do you know that I ..."
"Ms. Hiroshi told me the story of your parents. But she didn't know everything. What happened to your parents when they escaped from Hao's captivity? They were badly poisoned."
"My parents happened to have the Kenta herbs with them and were able to save their lives."
"And why didn't you come back to the village?"
"If Hao had found out that my parents were still alive, he would have killed them on the spot.My mother was also pregnant at the time. But she hadn't told the villagers. My parents wanted to wait until I was born and only then return to the village. But…"
Horo paused.
"What happened then?"
"When I was just born, Hao and his fighters attacked us. He learned that my parents survived. My parents entrusted me to an old couple to protect me from Hao. But they themselves died came…"
She was deeply touched by his past. But there was one thing she didn't understand.
"How did you find out about all this when you were just an infant?"
"My parents gave the couple a letter, sword and mask. When I was eight, they gave me all the things. The letter said everything about my parents, Hao and Chiyo village. They also gave me a book , which says How to Learn the Cold Death, and I've trained day in and day out to avenge my parents.You sacrificed yourself for me. "
"I'm sorry ... Now I know why you didn't come back to the village."
Hao's voice came back from behind them.
"I thought I had done the Usuis once and for all. I never thought that they would have another son. Nevertheless, I will complete my project and create a new shaman world!"
"Yuna, my parents tried to defeat Hao with the cold death too, but they never managed it. I have mastered the technique, but I don't think it's enough ..."
"Trust me, Horo."
Yuna looked deep into Horo's eyes and he understood that she was sure of her cause. He didn't think much further and trusted her.
"OK."
Yuna helped him to his feet.
"Can you do it?"
"Yes, I still have enough strength to use the technique."
Hao's malicious laugh came again.
"You are both so stupid! I am not afraid of the Cold Death!"
"But you will soon!"
With these words, Yuna took a few steps aside to make room for Horo.He immediately raised the sword and whirled it through the air until a strong wind developed.
"Come on Kororo! Let's show him!"
Horo's guardian spirit merged with the sword, which immediately began to shine. The light kept getting brighter. Suddenly the sky darkened and Yuna saw snowflakes falling from the sky. Meanwhile, Horo rammed the sword into the ground and there was a huge snow storm. Yuna had to shift her weight more on her legs to avoid falling. Horo took the sword out of the ground again and pointed it at Hao. The blizzard concentrated in one spot and turned into a tornado that migrated to Hao. But there was no fear in Hao's face. Instead, his lips twisted into a smile as the Spirit of Fire stepped before him, building a barrier of fire. The tornado hit the barrier and was stopped. Horo stepped up the attack, but the fire was impenetrable."What did I say ?! You can't beat me!"
Yuna saw that Horo couldn't hold out much longer and knew what to do. She took out her sai fork and launched an attack. There was a gust of wind that almost reached Hao.
"Again you won't hit me with your cheap attack!"
Hao, still holding Horo's attack in line with his fire barrier, raised his hand and stopped the gust of wind easily. But to his surprise, Yuna smiled. Now he followed her gaze and looked at his feet. He saw how a rope was tied to his ankle, which led to Yuna. The attack was nothing more than a distraction.
"You are very smart, I have to admit that. But such a rope cannot stop me!"
With one finger he pointed to the rope and a flame developed. Hao tried to burn the rope, but he couldn't.
"What the hell…?"
"This is a special rope of mine through which all of my Furioku flows.""Pah, how stupid of you! You don't seriously believe that you can defeat me with it. My hands are still free!"
"But that won't be of much use to you ..."
Yuna immediately took out the folded paper and threw it with a wave of her hand into Horos Tornado. The paper suddenly lit up and amplified the tornado a thousand times. Everyone could feel the tremendous power and Hao was frightened. He tried to free himself from the rope, but to no avail. Yuna watched the tornado penetrate the fire barrier and envelop Hao and his guardian spirit. Hao screamed and his screams echoed through the air. The villagers and Hao's shamans stopped the fight and watched the scene. The tornado engulfed his body and suddenly his scream was stifled. A bright light filled the whole area and nobody could see anything anymore because they had to cover their eyes. When the light disappeared again, they opened their eyes and looked for Hao.But this one was already defeated and only his cloak was on the floor. Yuna breathed a sigh of relief. They had defeated Hao! At last! She looked quickly at Horo. This stood there motionless and suddenly fell to the ground.
"Horo!"
Yuna ran to him.
"Horo, are you all right? Answer me!"
"Yeah ... i-I'm just a little tired."
"I'm reassured about that. I thought ..."
Suddenly his eyelids fell down. Yuna was frightened.
"Horo, what ...?"
But she breathed a sigh of relief when she heard his steady breathing. He just fell asleep. Then Yuna looked up.
"If you don't leave our village right away, you'll be like your master!"
Hao's shamans dropped their weapons and fled. At the same time, Arisu and Ms. Hiroshi came out of the hut and understood that HAo was defeated. The whole village cheered. Yuna looked back at Horo. He slept like a little child and she was infinitely grateful to him.She touched his face with her right hand. Now the villagers came up and formed a circle around the two of them.
"How is our savior?"
"He's asleep. The fight has been pretty tough on him. Can you help me carry him to my house?"

His eyes opened slowly and he looked around. He was in Yuna's house. This bed was already more than familiar to him. He was looking for Yuna, but she was not in the room. He carefully tried to get up and immediately noticed how his body ached a little. The fight with Hao ... He had defeated him. Horo could still remember it exactly. But it felt like an eternity to him.
"Horo, you woke up! You have been sleeping for two days."
He spotted Yuna who stepped into the room and smiled at him.
"Two days? I was very tired after the fight ..."
"Yes, that was you. Here drink the herbal tea."
"Thanks."
He took the mug and finished the tea. He remembered the time when Yuna nursed him back to health and had to smile."Why are you smiling?"
"I want some fresh air."
"But you are not quite healthy yet ..."
"I'm feeling much better. The fresh air will do me good."
"OK."
Yuna helped him to his feet and led him out to the flower meadow. It was already evening and the sun was slowly setting. She sat with Horo on the meadow and both looked at the beautiful view.
"Hao is finally defeated," said Yuna.
"Yes."
Horo looked down.
"Uh ... I ..."
"What?"
"When you stabbed the knife in your chest, I was paralyzed. I couldn't believe you did that for me."
"I was only thinking of saving you because ... because I didn't want anything to happen to you."
Yuna blushed.
"I was terrified because I thought you were dead."
There was silence between the two.
"Yuna ..."
"Yes?"
"I love you."
She looked him in the eye. She had waited so long for these words and now they came out of one
