Erik the Angel Phantom, Level 20

In The Broken Brides of Europe, Erik has ascended from Phantom to full-fledged Angel of Music. His powers are greatly increased, and time and space are no more a barrier for him, but his interactions with the living world decrease more and more. He gradually becomes the voice of inspiration and a deus ex machina for his companions, guiding them from beyond and above, and helping his new beloved to grow and mature. He can, however, display his full abilities in the afterworld, where his architecture studies take a whole new meaning and could even be useful to defeat a horrible monster…

This concludes the series on Aaron Hollingsworth’s heroes, but a few surprises are still to be revealed. Wait and see!
