I still think she's got a good chance of surviving, but there shouldn't be any major ramifications, as there won't be any mass war with demons or anything in her absence. The existing first-class mages will be more than capable of taking on whatever might cause trouble further south.

My guess is probably like another 15 chapters in this arc. It's definitely still possible to finish it before S2 if the creative team can hit a regular biweekly schedule, which they did come pretty close to during the last run of chapters.

Nah, the final arc/climax is pretty likely going to be something to do with a reborn Demon King at Aureole. We know that there's some kind of vague keikaku going on behind the scenes, and it was clear that whatever Tot is doing is separate from that.
