Matthew didn't know right now, but what was clear was that Isla's power had far exceeded what he expected to get.
The more they walked around people without bumping into each other, the more convinced Matt became of it.
If this were seen by anyone from outside the range of the domain, they would possibly think that all people were afraid of Matt and Isla. For everywhere they went, the path opened up without them having to do or say anything.
Both Matt and Isla were amazed at this astonishing result.
As they walked, several conversations from passersby entered their ears, so Isla became interested in something.
"Matt, do you know anything about the Final Test they mention? I only heard the name, and I know they are terrifying. I also know I will eventually have to overcome them," she said, looking at Matt.
He thought for a moment and sighed. "I honestly have no idea what it is. But they say they're the hardest tests a vampire will ever face. Still, apparently, there isn't much information about it."
Isla nodded with some disappointment and soon they arrived at the auditorium.
It was a beautiful place, quite large and nicely decorated, and it required rigorous screening to enter. The people in front of them were quite loud, and there was a huge line of people waiting to get in.
Many of them were seeing with fake tokens, so to get in, they had to go through a rather annoying and long process.
That's why Matt decided to go straight in. Although everything would depend on Isla's ability to control her power. Discover hidden tales at empire
Although it has affected the minds of all these people, including those in front of them investigating people, it tends to become difficult when they approach. Since they are powerful people guarding the entrance, they naturally have a rather strong sense.
If Isla gets close enough to them, won't they sense her? But there is still a bigger challenge for Isla: hiding the presence of Matthew, a person who does not seem to be within her domain.
This is actually a challenge Matt set Isla to see if she has made the right progress in understanding this.
The biggest challenge Isla has faced so far is a scenario where everyone is on alert but in a passive state. While this doesn't compare to an alert-active state, it's still a good learning experience for when she has to use it in combat.
Suddenly, she was already in front of those men standing guard.
And suddenly, she came back to herself with a strange fright that made her heart beat fast again as if she were a cat.
She was startled for a moment and quickly looked to her side, looking for Matt, thinking she had made a grave mistake.
But Matt smiled at her and stroked her head. "That was amazing, Miss Isla. You did that to perfection; even I am in awe of your ability." He said with sincere praise for her good work.
Isla was confused. "Huh? Did I?" she asked in shock and looked straight ahead. In front of her was only a rather long hallway leading to a huge auditorium. There were no other guards. So she quickly turned back and noticed that the guards were going about their business as normal behind her.
'Huh?' That confused her even more. She certainly remembered being about to cross those guards, but she remembered making a grave mistake that caused her ability to be destabilized by the fear that came from feeling how powerful the stronger ones were.
'How could I do that?' She was confused, but when she looked to Matt for help, he had already started walking.
"It's okay, you can deactivate your ability now." Matt said, and they both walked in, one behind the other.
Although Isla had many thoughts, she couldn't understand what had happened, so she nodded and followed him closely.
There were people walking nearby, but none of them paid any attention to them once they were inside and Matt soon entered a section where not many people could enter.
'According to the invitation sent by Sophia, I have access to those VIP places... It should be there. It looks like a desolate place, but I can sense powerful people inside the rooms.' As he walked, Matt frowned and stopped.
The hallway he had just entered had two places to pass through. One was to the right, and the other was to the left of a staircase. Just before exiting the stairs that brought him here, there was a sign that said which way the rooms were and their numbers, following that, Matt had started walking to the right.
But soon, he felt a peculiar presence that made him stop and turn around.
And a beautiful lady was standing there, staring at him.
"Sophia Murphy." He said, recognizing her.
