"Looks like there is something here after all"
I turned to my right to see another arrow slowly approaching me. I grabbed the shaft and pulled Angelica down.
"What are you doing!"
"Can't you see the arrows flying at us?"
"What arrows?"
I quickly showed her the arrows in my hands
"These arrows"
"I don't see anything? Are you messing with me? I might not have my divinity, but I'm still a god"
'What's going on?'
I carefully looked at the engravings on the arrows, and it magically translated to English.
'Invisium?'
Not knowing what the words mean, I quickly asked Angelica.
"Hey, what does invisium mean"
"!!"
A shocked expression was on her face
"Huh?"
"Did you say Invisium?!"
"Yeah, is that like those spells from Larry Trotter?"
"What?! No! It's an incantation that completely masks its existence from reality. Only Elves are capable of using that type of magic. Quickly give it to me."
"Here you go"
"YPORTNE NOISIVNE ,YTILAER NEEWTEB EVIL ,ECNETSIXE YHT ESARE!"
The arrows began to glow and then slowly disintegrated into dust. The particles quickly began to wrap around us and a transparent green dome appeared from thin air.
"This should hide us from the Elves for now. We need to get out of here. Elves aren't very welcoming towards other beings, even gods."
An awed look was on my face
"Woah! How'd you do that? I thought you need divinity to do magic."
"sigh* This is called mana, it's the energy that exists everywhere and nowhere, the material keeping the universe intact."
"Then what's divinity?"
"Divinity is just another form of mana, like light, it's at a different wavelength than mana, however, its potency is several times stronger."
'Makes sense'
Knowing there are enemies after us I quickly informed Angelica about the elves.
"So what's the plan? I don't think this bubble's gonna last very long and I'm quite sure they don't want us being here"
"Just stay quiet, they may not be able to see us, but they can definitely hear us. I'll think of something, so shut up for now"
'Stingy much'
'sigh* I thought being isekai'd would be great, but here I am'
While we were huddling inside our invisi-bubble a group of 6 beautiful elven women was watching us from afar.

"Where'd they go?"
A dark blue-haired elf with a large bow in her hands whispered out loud.
"I don't think they went anywhere, there weren't any disruptions in the wind"
A light blue-haired elf said while holding a small green orb.
"They should be dead! There's no way they could have dodged that!"
A red-haired elf growled tightly gripping a large red bow.
"Silence"
A tall gold-haired elf, with nuclear assets, muttered with an assertive tone.
"Jane, Lane, Ruby, secure any escape routes and make sure to keep your distance. I'll head in with Leona and Pola"
"Yes, Ma'm!"
The red-haired elf thought to herself
'How did he see the arrows? Is he an elf?'
'No, can't be, he doesn't look like one
'Ughh this is annoying… just where did they come from?'

Kane's pov:
10 minutes passed by as I watch Angelica crouching seemingly focused on finding a way out. While she was busy I was asking Zoey what I can do.
'Zoey, you said I have an inventory right, can I put living beings in there?'
[Yes, however divinity would be used according to their soul level to maintain life]
'sigh* life ain't easy ain't it'
Having been in situations like this before, I obviously have plenty of countermeasures.
'First things first, analyze the situation then proceed with plan B. '
'Knowing they have longbows, distance is a top priority. Hoping that my Tramix mode activates arrows won't be much of an issue. However, I have a feeling close combat might be my primary concern'
Alerting me from my thinking, a subtle thumping sound came from the transparent dome. Angelica also woke up from her stupor and she immediately started chanting some spell.
Worried, I asked Angelica what she was doing
"Care to explain what you're doing at least?"
I looked at her dazed face completely ignoring what I said and continued murmuring some spell.
'sigh, guess I have to do something.'
As I was about to move, the dome shattered like glass and a blade pierced through seemingly unfazed.
Immediately, everything seemed to slow down. I felt a tingle at the back of my neck and quickly turned around. My eyes opened wide as a throwing knife came flying at my face.
I quickly dodged to the side and grabbed the knife by the handle and immediately took a combat stance.
'At least I have a weapon now'
In milliseconds, 3 more knives flew at me and Angelica.
'Seeing that she didn't react at all, these knives must be invisible too.'
I grabbed the one coming toward me and blocked the other two from hitting Angelica.
Time seems to go back to normal.
Having felt movement, Angelica stopped chanting and looked at me with an angry look on her face.
"Stop moving around! The dome is extremely fragile right now and any disturbance of mana can break it."
"I think it's a bit late for that"
Slowly realizing what happened, she immediately stood up, her hands began moving and a thin layer of mana wrapped around us.
"I cast a layer of defensive magic, but be careful, it can at least withstand a couple of heavy blows, but other than that it'll break completely."
'Cool~ magic's pretty useful.'
'Guess I can go all out.'
She immediately went back to casting some spell. I looked around then suddenly my vision zoomed in.
'Woah, new features?'
Over the distance, three beautiful women were seen approaching us in rapid speed and then splitting in three directions.
'Trying to get rid of our escape routes huh?'
Time quickly slowed down again as an arrow flew toward my right leg. I looked to where the arrow was shot, and a beautiful red-haired woman with pointy ears came into my view.
'Woah, I knew elves were real, but I didn't think they were this beautiful.'
I slashed towards the right as another knife came flying by. Sensing some movement a couple of meters in front of me, I threw one of the knives toward the tall grass and quickly chased right after.
A metallic clink can be heard, and a black-haired elf appeared in front of me. As soon as she spotted me she yelled in an unknown language.
"htyr'e mhunsa!!"
Magically her words translated into my head
"They're humans!!"
Moments later, a gust of wind blew beneath me. The wind pushed me away towards another armed elf with beautiful long golden hair. As I looked closer, she seems to be holding a pair of shackles.
I twisted my body trying to angle myself away from her. I lifted my leg towards the elf in an attempt to kick her, then another arrow flew by my head cutting my cheek.
'Shit, I can't rely on Tramix mode all the time and this spell doesn't seem to be protecting me at all. sigh* So much for magic.'
My brain immediately went to thinking.
"Six elves, three approximately 60 feet away, and 2 more 12 feet behind me.'
'Alright gotta take the blonde one down first.'
As soon as time went back to normal, I immediately fixed my posture mid-air to land on my feet. Standing from a distance was a beautiful blonde elf.
While looking at me with cautious eyes, she spoke in a language that I assume is the human dialect.
"Human, what are you doing here in the Elven kingdom? Last I recall your king banned traveling in these areas. Care to explain?"
I showed her an apologetic smile while putting my hands down. Still staying vigilant, I calmly looked at her and explained to her what happened.
"My apologies, miss elf, but we were teleported here against our wishes. As you can see I'm completely unarmed, wearing nothing but a grass skirt"
She looked at me with a scrutinizing gaze. Her eyes moved toward my hands and gave out a soft chuckle.
"Unarmed? Humans, they never change."
Seeing her guard rising, even more, I clicked my tongue and immediately threw the dagger in my hand. Time seemed to slow down.
As she was distracted by the dagger coming at her, I took advantage of time slowing and sprinted towards her and grabbed her right arm.
"What!?"
Caught surprised by my speed she dropped the shackles from her hands.
I immediately grabbed the cuffs and latched them to her wrists.
Seeing her getting caught. The two elves from my right panicked.
"Laura!"
"Captain!"
I immediately grabbed the dagger on the shackled elf's waist and aimed it toward her neck.
"Usually I don't like taking beautiful women hostage, but I don't have the leisure to do otherwise. So if you don't mind ladies, put your weapons down and tell the other three to lower to hold fire, or instead of 2 you might be taking 3 bodies back."
The blond elf looked at the two elves and nodded.
"Fine…"
"Thank you, glad we can come to an agreement."
"So first let me explain mysel-"
I tried to alleviate the situation, but a cheerful scream came from behind me.
"HaHa! Yes, I did it!"
A bright light illuminated the surroundings and a massive white dragon floated above us.
"What the fuck."
