Tensura Alteration: The Accursed One

The Abysswalker

Artorias, the Abysswalker, one of the Great Lord Gwyn's Four Knights, alongside Hawkeye Gough, Lord's Blade Ciaran and Dragonslayer Ornstein.

He was the famous person who was so valiant in his battle against the darkness, the abyss itself, his legacy was so large thousands of years later his spirit carried on in the form of the Abyss Watchers, ones who adopted the identity of Artorias himself, mimicking his look and his greatsword, and his job, which is fighting back against any signs of darkness.

Artorias was arguably the Great Lord Gwyn's strongest knight, and with his signature "Wolf Ring", which dispelled any and all abyss from corrupting him, his destiny was set for him.

But all changed one day when a princess by the name of "Dusk" was abducted, and on the mission to save her, Artorias and his wolf companion, Sif the Great Grey Wolf, were ultimately overwhelmed.

Artorias was fighting until his last dying breath, then right when he felt like he lost, his mind was lost to eternity.

He died within that moment, and all that was left is a hollow vessel that had the same look as Artorias.

He was no longer who he was.

But all of that past storytelling mattered not anymore.

In a seemingly instantaneous moment from his death, Artorias heard a voice right after he lost consciousness.

{Confirmed, individual Artorias has been summoned and given the Unique Skill [Abysswalker].

Sub-Skills:

- [Hextouch]: The holder has the ability to use many special "Abyss" element abilities, which are called hexes, almost all of these hexes are used to empower the holder, they are extremely powerful, but used for an extended period of time can lead to terrible side-effects.

Hexes the holder has the ability to use currently:

[Abyssflow]: The holder's body strength is empowered, allowing for ease of movement, examples include: Leap attacks will be easier to perform.
The cost of this empowerment is immense exhaustion after the conclusion of this ability's usage.

[Blade of the Abyss]: The holder can empower their weapon with the "Abyss" element, increasing the power of their weapon.
The cost of this empowerment is the weapon's durability deteriorating quicker.

[Unlimited Abyss Works]: The holder can manifest the power of the abyss into different shapes that take on physical properties.
The cost of manifestations is high draining of Magicules.

- [Greatest Knight]: The holder has extremely sharpened senses of combat, and any attack made against the holder in sight is viewed broken down in full detail.

This ends the summoning.}

The world, it was in sight.

He was seeing a distant light, hope, hope that he will be able to save his companion in time.

In plain sight.

He heard a familiar sound.

Whimpering.

The pained whimpering he barely could make out in the same abyss he fell in..

'...Sif! I hear him!

I'm.. Still alive..?'

Reaching the light and going through it, Artorias' eyes shot open, and he entered a sitting position.

But he could not maintain it for long, as his companion lunged at him making him fall over.

All he could hear were the relieved and happy noises Sif was making.

"Woof! Woof!"

Artorias was just as joyous as Sif was, he was petting him and hugging him.
