I agree, Dark Guilds are likely still around but a small threat now that the Balam Alliance that basically held them together was shattered with the damage all 3 top Drk Guilds took.

And with Bluenote no longer with Grimoire Heart we still don't know how many are with them and how many of the demons of Tartarus are still alive, most of them are just in the unknown status.
