Path of Spirit (Disgardium Book #6): LitRPG Series, Dan Sugralinov [the reader ebook .TXT] 📗

Scyth then goes to meet Pecheneg in his castle. The old man introduces him to Blackberry, an analyst and officer from Modus. She’s working for Polotsky. Summoning an Arbiter to register the trade, Blackberry gives Scyth the right to use her image, which allows him to fool tests with the fire of the True Flame. She also talks about Nergal the Radiant’s Great Portable Altar, which the preventers carry with them to use as a respawn point.

Several thousand high-level players invade the Lakharian Desert and move toward the temple. The Alliance of Preventers is in a hurry to get there before the huge mass of ordinary players. It wants to be the first to complete Nergal’s quest.

Scyth attacks the altar and destroys it. Immediately afterwards, he infiltrates the preventers’ headquarters under the guise of Blackberry and kills them all. Among them he encounters Crag, now a partner of Modus. As it turns out, the destroyed altar was a fake.

Yoruba detonates a series of explosions around the temples of Nergal the Radiant during mass blessings. The high priests survive and ask their god for protection against Plague Fury.

Nergal promises to protect all who answer his summons.

Disgardium 5: Holy War

Excommunicado security officer Hairo Morales and his partner Willy Brizuela, men of the lower rungs of society and former peacekeepers, accept Alex’s offer and join the Awoken. Their decision is influenced not only by the financial benefits of Alex’s offer, but also faith in his ability to change the lives of non-citizens for the better.

The army of Light invades the Lakharian Desert. Undead legions with Shazz at their head come out to meet it. Scyth intervenes in the course of the battle and takes control of Hinterleaf, the Modus clan leader, to redirect an Armageddon onto the real Great Portable Altar. The explosion eliminates the haulers provided by the Goblin League. Deznafar, the Battle Avatar of the Departed raised by Shazz, gives the players no chance. The Armageddon explosion awakens Oyama, Supreme Grand Master of Unarmed Combat, from his meditative sleep.

He puts an end to the battle with a series of long-range moves, scattering both the remnants of the preventers and the undead army. The master himself is also wounded by Reflection. Scyth brings the old man round and asks him to teach him some new moves. Oyama says he doesn’t work with the undead, but all the same, as he leaves he mentions that he’ll be relaxing in the village of Jiri in southern Latteria.

A recovered Shazz returns to the Stronghold of the Destroying Plague to restore his fallen army, promising Scyth that it would be stronger than the last.

The next morning, Alex’s parents fly to a prestigious resort on the moon to rebuild their relationship. On the same day, the Awoken rent a new building in Cali Bottom and begin to set up their clan base.

Morena’s cultists and a tribe of outcast kobolds join the followers of the Sleepers. Scyth appoints priests who will get Unity bonuses from all the adepts; the kobold chieftain Grog’hyr, their senior shaman Ryg’har and the cultist leaders Dekotra the troll and the half-orc Ranakotz.

Scyth and Patrick O’Grady set off to the goblin capital of Kinema to buy building materials for the clan fort and to sell the Portal Key to the unexplored frozen continent of Holdest. Auctioneer Grokuszuid promises to invite the richest buyers of Disgardium to the auction.

From there, Scyth and Patrick head to Latteria, to reach Stone Rib and find the sewer troggs that escaped from underneath Darant, to convert them to the ranks of the Sleepers. However, near the city of Nivelle, Scyth witnesses a Nether rift and an encounter between Harnathea the Ravager and Nergal’s priests and players.

Scyth sends Patrick to Stone Rib for the troggs, while he himself remains behind to observe the Ravager’s banishing. The high priest summons Nergal the Radiant to help. The divinity appears and draws attention to Scyth: “You are looking in the wrong direction, fools!” The high priest knocks Scyth off his dragon and he falls right onto the Ravager, which then takes him to the beta version of Disgardium, also known as the Nether.

Time flows five hundred times faster in the Nether than in real life. Scyth is imprisoned by Nine, Beta #9, one of the first hundred beta testers in the game, whose conscious was trapped in virtual space.

Month after month, Nine kills Scyth time and time again to extract useful skills from him. She is a Collector Mage. Scyth cannot leave the Dis beta; his quit button is gone.

One night, Nine opens up to Scyth and tells him her real name: June Curtis. Scyth spends the night with her, but the next morning, Nine kills him again and no longer speaks to him.

Days later (or a year for Scyth), Alex’s friends rescue him from his capsule using its emergency exit button. The nutrient cartridges are found empty — in the Nether, Alex’s brain was working at a frantic pace. Hairo, also present, tells of how similar technology was used by the military to quickly train soldiers in simulations, and it may be that Snowstorm used it for the beta test of the Dis world.

Alex had planned to throw a party at his house that same night and decides not to delay it, wanting to unwind after his nightmarish year in the Nether.

Hung’s girlfriend Alison Wu is invited to the party, as is Piper Dandera, who introduced Alex to Sergei ‘Pecheneg’ Polotsky. The girls are members of the youth division of clan Modus. Alex also invites Rita ‘Overweight’ Wood and her girlfriend Karina ‘Goosebumps’ Rasmussen, who has shown interest in Alex for a long time. From the latter he learns that Wesley Cho, previously known as Big Po, wants to meet with him.

Tissa, who has flown in to see her dad for the weekend, arrives
