The figurative language used in the phrase "His fingers were a blur as he typed his story" is metaphor.
Definition of Metaphor: A metaphor is a figure of speech that makes a direct comparison between two unlike things by stating that one thing is another. It is used to convey a particular quality or characteristic of something in a more vivid or imaginative way without using "like" or "as," which would indicate a simile. In this case, comparing his fingers to a "blur" suggests that they were moving very quickly, emphasizing the speed and intensity of his typing.
