Eternal

Semra’s just going to have to suffer a bit longer because you need to kill the Emperor. Besides, if you do kill him, you will have helped her anyway.

You stagger towards the Emperor and raise your sword in an effort to strike him, but it’s a clumsy attack that he easily evades. He instead grabs your sword hand and you feel an even greater drain on your energy than you did before.

“Tch. Tch. What were you thinking son? I guess you weren’t otherwise you wouldn’t have tried to kill me in the first place.”

The Emperor continues to drain you of your life and it doesn’t take long before you see your hand shrivel and wizen before your eyes. Your entire body soon follows this sequence until your organs fail and death is instantaneous though definitely not painless.
