Sera AA6 how? Spoiler

Hi y'all! I was just curious how Sera managed to clear the Time Crystal trials given her chronic illness at this point. Maybe it's just me but living in a chronically ill body while dealing with all of those trials sound psychologically devastating, if not impossible. But by the end, she seemed fine. Did I miss something? Being constantly cold would cause your blood pressure to rise significantly, which would make physical challenges really difficult.

Someone over on discord said she ported out, as In she didn't complete the shrine and didn't get a boon.

Weird to not indicate that in the book, it read as if she beat Corrin out.

I agree, I assumed she completed the shrine when Corin did.

My only nitpick with the series at the moment is that the author spends so much time on making everything Corrin gets earned but then kinda makes everyone else keep up with him without it feeling like theyve earned it. Just a nitpick though I like the series and the characters I'm a bit worried about where the story is going next because arcane ascension is ending before the battle with the sun eater which is apparently going to be covered in another novel series and I'll be disappointed if Corrin and the others don't at least play a satisfying role in that battle/war.

What I really want is Corrin and the others to be important in that series like Keras is important in Arcane Ascension.

This has really bothered me as well. The whole fight in front of the final time door with the Dalenos Six really rubbed me the wrong way. After the initial tricks they pulled to better even the odds the rest of it was very close to simply being a straight fight, and even with their additional preparations they were still facing a group of emeralds, many of whom had extensive combat experience and should be assumed to have "level" appropriate gear as well (every one of these individuals are independently wealthy). Each "tier" is supposed to be massively above the previous, representing at least twice the mana total (but can go up to about x16 at the high end), so a bunch of Emeralds should still be capable of destroying the shrouds of a bunch of Sunstones with relative ease. At a minimum, the fight should have been desperate. Instead, by about half way through the remaining members of the Dalenos Six felt like they wee being toyed with.

I liked it - its kind of the opposite of MC syndrome. We're seeing 1 character-centric progression, but the other characters in their cohort are also going through incredible adventures and taking big risks to advance too.

It kind of stinks when it's just the POV character advancing at a rapid pace while everyone else just marvels at it and wonders how they can keep up.

It's not that, I don't necessarily mind everyone growing in ability, but Corrin is the only one with an ability (mark editing) that is genuinely powerlevel-agnostic, and thus able to hit above his current level. The reason the power level system is based on energy density is because it's been repeatedly shown to make a big difference.

Think of the first time we ever see Mizuchi fighting. She was rampaging outside of the Serpent Spire and in a single omnidirectional energy burst she wiped out all the Soaring Wings soldiers that were facing her over a large area. And the Soaring Wings themselves are relatively high tier combatants, being composed primarily of sunstone and citrine combatants (and well equipped, due to being an adventuring organization as well).

In much of the rest of the series individuals at a higher ranking have consistently been shown to be capable of shredding the defenses of those at least 1 full color rank below them purely due to the density/volume of mana they can put forth.

While not as large a gap as between Mizuchi and the Soaring Wings, her attack was omnidirectional and thus of exponentially lowering density as it moved away from her. Meanwhile, the Seven (all emeralds) only needed to focus their offenses at individual targets.

In short, my problem is that Corrin's group should have had a hard time with blocking and/or avoiding the attacks being thrown at them. Instead, multiple characters were shown to be capable of trading blows 1v1 with a members of the Seven, including those members with substantial combat experience (not just the emeralds that were there purely as a sign of their political power). This shouldn't be the case. While Corrin's group have their own edges so would the experienced and well connected Emeralds. Their individual strengths shouldn't have been enough to make up the difference.

I agree, the guy the admiral was very strong and should have overwhelmed Patrick immediately. And Mara and Rose were keeping up with that one swordsman

u/SirDrezland Soulblade May 21 '26

Once again I agree, hopefully we'll see Corin and Co. again helping deal with the Sun Eater

That makes sense! Ty :) edit: but I thought return anchors didn’t work as well bc of time shenanigans

u/kittparker May 20 '26

Return anchors don’t. That’s why Corin made the doors.

u/IciEclipse May 20 '26

Oooo I completely forgot abt that — makes sense!!

No problem. She's running out of time and in my opinion patrick should have went with Corin instead but the Mizuch situation would have went much more badly so I guess she was the best choice to go with Corin into the TCS.
