Skirmish with Phantom Scouts

The enemy appeared to be a deformed crab from the depths of the ocean. It had long limbs and two sharp claws attached to flexible front arms. Its faces were deformed, and it had layers of sharp teeth in a circular mouth resembling a lamprey eel's.

The most disturbing thing was that they came in all shapes and sizes. Their size ranged from two to six meters, with thick armour plating covering their bodies. They attacked in a swarm, with tens of them rising from the water before splitting into groups and heading to the ships surrounding Asura's.

From their shimmering antennae would fire plasma-type magic beams after a brief charging time.
