It is possible that Cedran was inspired by Bukubuku, but unlikely. Dual shield wielding is not that uncommon in fantasy settings; Dark Souls had several occurences of this concept for instance.

As for the Astrologer... it looks like no one actually understand why she "went into hidding". She was shocked into becoming a hikkikomori, like many of those knights who resigned from the Imperial Army. However, what she saw may have been even more frightening than anything of what was actually described to us by Maruyama. Astrology and divination in general are methods of prophecy and relate to mysticism. What she saw may not just have been the slaughter, but a part of the New World's Truth, what Fluder asked from Ainz Ooal Gown.
