As a powerful ultimate ability for Watchers in world of warcraft, Avenger appeared very frequently.
Especially when fighting against humans and undead, the countless corpses on the ground provided firepower for the Avenger.
The Avenger could summon Avenging Spirits from corpses.
Although these Avenging Spirits had weak attack power and short duration, their invincibility, ranged attacks, and sheer numbers made them a headache for enemies.
When there were many corpses, the Avenger could even summon forty or fifty Avenging Spirits.
Some clumsy players couldn't even select and control them as quickly as the Avenger summoned them, leading to many wasted Avenging Spirit attacks.
Later, in world of warcraft, the Avenger was nerfed.
In the Vault of the Wardens, Cordana only used Avenging Avatar, summoning a row of Avenging Spirits.
The other Watchers did not display this ability.
One could only say that this ability was too overpowered.
And now, Elune had actually blessed Maiev, allowing her to summon the Avenger.
There was hope for victory in this battle!
Gale was overjoyed, and he turned to look at Hakkar, thinking, "How will you deal with this now?"
Hakkar watched the Avenger warily; the ghost's power made him feel apprehensive.
Just as he hesitated about what to do, the Avenger moved.
The Avenger waved a hand, and the troll corpses on the ground immediately turned into ghosts.
One after another, row after row, nearly a hundred thousand troll corpses on the battlefield all transformed into ghosts, even though their souls had already been devoured by Hakkar.
The ghosts looked up at Hakkar, their dark eyes radiating hatred.
They condensed balls of energy and unleashed them upon Hakkar.
A hundred thousand Avenging Spirits, even if their individual attacks were weak, combined they were enough to shake heaven and earth.
Hakkar felt fear; he flapped his wings, trying to dodge the energy blasts.
But there were too many energy blasts, and they seemed to have tracking capabilities, so no matter how he dodged, he couldn't escape.
Helpless, Hakkar could only put up a shield and endure the continuous bombardment of energy blasts.
Each energy blast that hit weakened a tiny bit of the shield's energy.
Ten, a hundred, a thousand, ten thousand energy blasts were enough to shatter the shield.
Even though Hakkar's abilities were strange, he still succumbed to the energy blasts, which carried soul attacks.
A hundred thousand energy blasts knocked Hakkar reeling, his scales shattering.
Hakkar had never seen such an attack, and he was furious.
He had considered himself a loa for thousands of years, and today he was humiliated by a group of ghosts.
He was known as the Soulflayer, always in control of souls; ghosts had always been his food and source of power.
Thinking this, Hakkar opened his mouth at the Avenging Spirits, intending to devour them all.
Facing Hakkar's devour, the Avenging Spirits indeed could not resist.
But at this moment, the Avenger waved his hand again, and a soul vortex swept towards Hakkar.
The soul vortex surged into Hakkar's mouth, and Hakkar immediately found it difficult to breathe.
He seemed to have something stuck in his throat and couldn't close his mouth at all.
"Ugh—"
With a retch from Hakkar, countless soul energies emerged from his belly.
Those were the troll souls Hakkar had devoured, and they seemed to be drawn by something, flying towards the Avenging Spirits on the ground.
The Avenging Spirits merged with those souls, becoming even more powerful.
They once again condensed energy blasts and attacked Hakkar.
Hakkar was flung into the sky, then crashed back to the ground like a dead snake.
He landed among the Avenging Spirits, who continued to attack him.
Soon, Hakkar was battered and bleeding profusely, with countless streams of blood flowing from his body.
Hakkar suddenly lashed his tail, scattering the nearby Avenging Spirits.
He looked up at the Avenger and roared, "What in the world are you?!"
The Avenger looked at Hakkar expressionlessly and continued to attack him.
Hakkar suddenly spat out a burst of soul energy, neutralizing the Avenger's attack.
Then he continued to attack the Avenging Spirits; he realized that the Avenger's power wasn't very strong, and if he could eliminate these smaller Avenging Spirits first, there was still a chance of victory.
The Avenging Spirits were in a ghostly state, which indeed made them invincible to many creatures.
But Hakkar was a loa; his body contained divine power, and divine power could kill ghosts.
The only problem now was that there were too many Avenging Spirits, and killing them with physical attacks alone would be very slow.
So, after Hakkar neutralized the Avenger's attack, he immediately cast a soul spell: Mind Blast.
Centered on Hakkar, a wave of soul energy spread outwards, clearing out all Avenging Spirits within five hundred yards.
Maiev frowned at this.
Hakkar's single strike just now had killed at least several thousand Avenging Spirits; at this rate, Hakkar would only need twenty or thirty more such attacks to wipe out all the Avenging Spirits.
At this moment, a chill swept over, freezing Hakkar in a block of solid ice.
It was Gale who had acted; he couldn't possibly watch Hakkar clear out the Avenging Spirits.
However, he also admired Hakkar, who, in such a crisis, could still carve out a glimmer of hope for survival.
Hakkar quickly broke free from the ice and was about to spring up to continue clearing the Avenging Spirits.
But Gale attacked again, and countless ice spears appeared around him, fiercely piercing into his body, pinning him to the ground.
"Aow—"
Hakkar screamed; the pain from the ice spears piercing his body made him wish he were dead.
But this was not the most dangerous part; the most dangerous part was the cold air from the ice spears invading his internal organs.
Once his internal organs were frozen, his death would not be far off.
He used his divine power to flush his internal organs, expel the cold, and break the ice spears.
Then he looked at Gale with hateful eyes, "mortal, I will definitely kill you!"
"You should worry about how you're going to survive first!"
Gale retorted, continuing to attack Hakkar and prevent him from attacking the Avenging Spirits.
The Avenging Spirits' soul attacks were very effective against Hakkar; it was worth noting that Gale had been fighting Hakkar for almost an hour and hadn't even scratched him.
Now that Hakkar was injured, Gale's attacks finally began to show effect.
Hakkar was in a dilemma; he didn't know whether to attack the Avenging Spirits first or Gale first.
If he attacked the Avenging Spirits first, Gale's Frost Spell would be a huge hindrance.
At this rate, he would be killed by the Avenging Spirits before he could finish killing them.
And attacking Gale first would only make him die faster.
He couldn't break through Aggramar's Shield's defense even at his peak, and now, severely injured, he had even less chance against Aggramar's Shield.
Since it was death either way, Hakkar decided to jump out of the choices.
He fully maintained a shield, then gathered all his strength and opened a spatial rift.
"Not good, Hakkar is trying to escape!" Maiev quickly warned.
The Avenger immediately attacked, and the soul vortex swept over again.
But Hakkar endured the soul vortex and rushed towards the spatial rift.
He turned to Gale, "mortal, accept my parting gift!"
With that, he cast a spell on his own blood.
The blood immediately became eerie, its foul smell growing stronger and stronger, even more intense than Hydra Nash's venom.
Gale's pupils contracted rapidly: Corrupted Blood!
He quickly swung Nash's Fang, and countless cold energies surged towards the Corrupted Blood, freezing them into ice blocks.
Then he manipulated the ice blocks and threw them into the spatial rift.
Hakkar hadn't completely passed through the spatial rift when he was hit by the ice blocks.
He could no longer maintain the spell, and the spatial rift rapidly closed, cutting Hakkar in half and leaving a tail twitching on the ground.
