An Extra’s POV

Chapter 274

The Dark Gathering was a compulsory symposium that could only be initiated by a consensus by two-third of the parties involved.

In essence, of the Triumvirate's body—the Slave Union, the Mercenary Gang, and the Obsidian Council—two had to arrive at a unanimous consensus for initiation.

Also, the last party had to have at least half of the members agreeing in favor of the meeting.

Once all of these conditions had been fulfilled, all parties involved had to meet up—without any room for exception or excuses.

Refusal to participate would result in the death of the Head of the deviant group and their seed.

These were the rules of the Dark Gathering.

"Hmm…."

As Rey listened to the explanation given by Rebal, he couldn't help but feel a tight feeling in his chest.

'These guys are too hardcore!' His thoughts echoed within himself.

"Based on the rules, it's very difficult to even establish a Dark Gathering, and it has been quite a few years since the last time we met like that."

Rebal's face turned grave as he explained further—especially on how the Triumvirate enforced non conformity to the rules.

"It's a curse. Curse Magic. There's a certain Enchanted Item that grants curses, or more like binding vows, on targets based on certain conditions." He said solemnly.

The older man turned to his right and left, looking at Asher and Kara.

"The Curse passes on to the seed of the target as well, so these two aren't safe from the punishment if I disobey the rules."

Rey could understand things a lot better now.

'He really has no other choice, huh? I don't have any Skill that counteracts Curses, so I can't do anything about it.'

Even with [Appraisal], he couldn't see any signs of curses on any of them.

'Since Rebal is sure about it, though, I suppose it has to be true.' He shrugged internally

"It seems we'll have to tweak our plans a little, then. How long is it before the Dark Gathering?" Rey asked calmly.

"Four days."
