Pretty sure they're the same thing, and it's just art evolution making the Lord of Dark look different from his avatar's old design. What we see is the creature's hand reach out from the darkness to pull the MC closer to the Dark for a post-script. We also see that hand when the Lord of Dark empowers Valravn. The simplest explanation is that all three appearances of the hand belong to the same guy. And it being the Dark's avatar fits with what we know of his activities, Valravn says he's busy keeping the other Apostles' avatars from acting using his own. The creature in Dead End #3 appears to kill the 4th's avatar to prevent it from doing something, so it's probably the 7th's avatar.That thing is not the 7th, the 7th appears first and then that creature after it in the dream world.
