After telling the holy maidens he would visit their temples, Ren found a nice quiet spot where he won't be disturbed. He then placed a ward to warn him if anyone was approaching. After he was done making sure that his body would be safe, Ren once again entered his soul.
Waiting for him was Leo's familiar figure and beside him was a middle-aged man with black hair and eyes. He had a lot of scars on his hands and his face had three distinctive scars that looked to be in the shape of a clover. That must be Murosaki Hayato.

"So, what did you come in here for? Are you going to challenge another incarnation?" Leo jokingly spoke.
"You know why I'm here. Tell me how many past incarnations have been in this world?"
