The City of Monsters

The kick of the bird sent him backwards. The talon wrapped around him and slammed him onto the ground as his sword flew out of his hand. The other birds flew in, their beaks flying downwards, piercing the ground as Lee Seng's barrier automatically flew up. The beaks sparked against the cosmic barrier as Lee Seng tried to rip the talon off of him. 

"Argh!" Lee Seng squirmed as the talons dug into him. The birds continuously kept up their pecking and this barrier wouldn't last forever. The odd image of lasers flashed in his mind. He flipped his left palm up into the air and quickly pulled the energy into his hand. Gold, black, gray, and silver lasers shot out of his hand in every direction possible. The lasers pierced through the birds, hitting the ceiling and pillars as the birds instantly recoiled.
