The Abyss Walker makes it's debut at the final boss for the Advanced Dungeon, Destroyed Castle of the Dead. It is a revived and merged fusion between Luke's followers, Moonlight Walker Yashin & Evil Sword Veara through the Abyss.

Lore

Destroyed Castle of the Dead Lore Excerpt:

In the complete darkness, only two swords gleam. Have I turned inward to reach the next level as a swordsman? Or... am I in Hell?

Does it matter where I am? My sword still thirsts for enlightenment, and I have a body to hold and swing it. I'll swing it until I surpass my friend, or until I die trying.

What I swing is my sword and my will. My moving body is my unfaded faith and my fighting will. I'm content, just holding my sword like this.

"Geez, stop glorifying yourself. You're a killer, just like me."

Who are you? An enemy?

"Wow, don't you know? Now, I'm you."

Show yourself and clash your sword against mine. You're just a weak shadow hiding in the darkness.

"You want me to show myself? Hah hah. As you wish."

My field of vision turns red. The pitch-dark space is now shimmering in red. Thirst for strength and bloodlust start boiling inside me.

"Hah hah. Yes, I remember this feeling. Can't wait to kill something!"

Someone else inside me speaks words that I didn't intend. My hand moves of its own accord, swinging my sword, spraying blood in the air. Ah... So, I'm in Hell...
