Max absorbed the explanation in silence before finally asking, "And the other method?"
Blob gave a faint, knowing smile. "Have enough soul strength to extract it yourself."
Max leaned forward immediately. "Soul strength? My current soul force is at the blue soul stage. Is that enough?" he asked with urgency.
Blob shook his head slowly. "It isn't that simple, Max. You would need to reach the violet soul stage—two whole stages above your current level—to even have a hope of success. You should understand something very clearly… even if you possessed the strength of a Divine Rank expert, it would mean nothing against the blood parasite in your body. That's how dangerous they are. So your options are few: either you grow your soul force to the violet soul stage, or you willingly subject yourself to the kind of extreme heat or cold that could kill most beings outright. Outside of these two paths…" Blob's gaze locked with his, "…there is no other way."
