Ask yourself this: did it leave the field? If yes, then you can activate that skill. Also, soulguard is optional. You can allow it to leave the field instead of keeping it there by removing a soul. It does not come up much, but there are a few times it is the optimal move, such as wanting to evolve Siegar early.

And, in the hope this doesn't confuse you further, a monster can be destroyed but remain on the field with soulguard. As an example of when this ruling would come up, look at "INV Third Omni Water Lord, Dark Miserea". When he gets destroyed, you gain a life and then you can keep him on the field with his soulguard if he has soul. Thus, such an ability can activate multiple times.

Is what I am saying clear to you? Do you have any more questions?
