A fog tendril formed, attaching itself to Haldon's soulbody.
Unlike with the birds, due to higher potency, it was taking longer.
Fifteen minutes had passed by the time it finally descended into the fog.
When the tendrils made contact with Haldon's real body, Hadrian's manifested body deformed into mist and he coalesced the fog around Haldon.
Up in the first layer, Haldon's body grew faint by the minute, with only his cores remaining.
Haldon's left index finger twitched but his eyes remained dead.
Half an hour later, with all his concentration on Haldon, Hadrian watched as Haldon's pupils dilated, his soul body in the first layer completely erased.
Not wasting time, he carried Haldon in the metal box.
Like he'd seen with the birds, they didn't immediately regain control but took a moment.
Going off the tendril, and Haldon's soul body taking half an hour longer to fade away, it might take a moment longer before Haldon regains control or consciousness.
