It is time for Alear and the others to take on Destinea Cathedral, but before them, Marth tells her that they will not be able to return back to the Somniel for a while. They then find Hyacinth at the cathedral, and he is planning to resurrect Sombron, the Fell Dragon, and we have to try and stop him.

As for the rest of the description, I recommend watching the full video before reading past this point of the description

Here we are, at Chapter 10, and once we start, we cannot return back to the Somniel after a while. We then enter Destinea Cathedral, and Marth tells Alear that they should retreat if the ritual is complete, and the dialogue where Alear states that their six Emblem Rings gives an advantage becomes harsh hindsight, consdering what happens at the end of this chapter.
Then we find Hyacinth, who tells us that our presence means that Ivy had been killed, even though we never killed her, even Alear tells Hortensia that she is still alive when you have Alear fight her, and Hortensia refuses to believe Alear. We then learn that the ritual is completed, and Morion has been corrupted into a mindless monster, with no way to bring him back.
The music for this map is Tear Streaked (Ice), this song even carries over to the enemy phase, and we have to deal with five bosses, two of which have Emblem Rings, Hortensia has the Ring of the Instructor this time, and Hyacinth has the Ring of the Lady of the Plains, the same Emblem he used to incapacitate Morion back in that cutscene in Chapter 9. There is a Magic Artillery which will shoot magic at your units, and there are two chests, which contain Elfire and a Dracoshield, which permanently increases a unit's Defense by 2 points, and you can defeat the Thief to get a Silver Dagger.
Going over our opponents, Rosado this time has a Killer Axe, allowing him to score critical hits, an Archer or a magic attacker can take him down easily, and he is on the left side of the map, and he does drop that Killer Axe when defeated, while Goldmary on the right side has an Energy Drop, she has a Steel Blade which does have a smash effect, lance units are your best shot against her.
Hortensia has Freeze, if this connects, your unit cannot move during the next turn, and she has Elfire to deal some good magic damage, and her Emblem weapon is Lúin, this deals bonus damage to Dragon units, this does put Alear at a disadvantage against her. Hortensia does have a Revival Stone, bow users and chain attacks are your best shot against her, and she can use the Magic Artillery. Her Emblem has Divine Pulse, if an attack would have missed, it makes it hit based on the unit's Luck stat.
With Hortensia and her retainers down, she does drop the Freeze staff upon defeat, break down the door, and it is time to take on Corrupted Morion, and both Diamant and Alcryst have dialouge when fighting him. He has a Tomahawk to attack at a range, and magic attacks work well against him, as well as chain attacks.
After defeating Corrupted Morion, it is time to take on Hyacinth, and you have to watch out for his Emblem, Astra Storm is the Engage Attack, which deals five consecutive hits, and deals 20% of the damage a normal strike would, and it inflicts break, as Hyacinth is a Martial Master, a Qi Adept unit, and this can easily take down a low Defense unit, if you have a unit like Louis with high Defense, he should be able to take the attack. Hyacinth can create Illusory Doubles of himself, which have 1 HP, which don't move, the real one is the one that moves. Hyacinth has a Killer Bow to get in an increased critical hit rate, the best way to fight him is to have your units rush in and take him down quickly before he can unleash another Astra Storm, chain attacks can really help against him, and he does drop a Master Seal after defeating him.
Then we go through a series of cutscenes, first Hyacinth manages to bring the Fell Dragon back, which doesn't end well for him in the end. Then the hooded person who we haven't seen since they broke into the Ring Vault and killed Lumera back in Chapter 3 has finally been revealed, and this leaves Alear in shock when she finds out who this hooded person is. Then Zephia shows up, and we haven't seen her since Firene Castle in Chapter 5, and she has some allies with her, and it turns out to be a distraction as the hooded person manages to use some trick to her advantage, and manages to pull off one of these "the villain wins" moment on us, and we have no other choice than to retreat.
