Bab 294: Instant

"Don't be worried." The elder smiled. "This is actually good news. Who would lay an array formation down to protect nothing?"

Fuoco collected himself and nodded with a smile.

The greatest danger of formations was that even seeing them was difficult. The best Formation Masters were adept at concealing the arrays they made. Unless one had high attainments in the Mental Realm or special ocular techniques, it was impossible to see the form of a formation. For all intents and purposes, they were invisible.
