Dead Bird

Ning looked at the bird more carefully. It was green feathered like emerald gems had been carved into every single feather of this bird. 

Its eyes were crimson red while the pupils were abyssal black. 

Its beak was the same color as its feathers, only more prismatic. The brown talons slanted towards the back as the bird flew towards Ning with another great burst of speed.

Ning waited for it to do what it did previously, and just in time, the bird disappeared once more to arrive next to Ning.

At the same time, Ning punched the air in front of him where the bird appeared.

When his fist hit the bird's tenfold increased beak, both he and the bird were pushed backward.

Despite his strong body, Ning saw the multiple bleeding points on his knuckles. "Dammit! Just how strong is this bird?" he thought.

The bird wasn't hurt at all, and it immediately returned to attack him once again. This time, it returned with its talon before itself.
