Scotsman and Leviathan 2

Interesting.

'She must think I'm with them because of Grian,' he thought before smiling at her, "I'm not with the church love, or part of their faction or anything like that, so no need to be so tense," he replied, "My name is Yarden Caelan Odhar Wallace, descendant of the mightiest hero in all of history, William Wallace, son of the Sun God Belenus and I'm here to see about being reincarnated as a devil." he boasted of his lineage proudly.

He needed to show the greatness of his Scottish bloodline after all and let her know how foolish she would be to not want him recruited as a devil.

Sona's violet eyes went wide behind her glasses, unable to contain her shock, and her queen fared no better.

"E-excuse me?" she spluttered before coughing and regaining her cool, "Can you repeat that please? You said you're a hero descendant with the blood of a god in your veins, is that right?"

He'd give her this, she was pretty good at reigning in her emotions, "Amongst other things," Yarden crossed his arms and nodded, "I also have two sacred gears, Delete Field and Blaze Black Flare, of which I have unlocked the Balance Breaker of." he added, laying most of it on the table.

He had to make himself look more appealing after all. It wasn't Sona or Rias he was really here to meet, not entirely at least. He just needed them to put him into contact with who he really wanted to meet.

Honestly, the fact he was Scottish and wanting to join up should have been enough. But, the other races of the world were truly ignorant and he as a compassionate Scottish lad did not judge them for their short comings.

At least not fully.

She coughed again, "T-two?" the Sitri heiress stuttered, shock once again breaking her cool facade before she managed to reign it in, "And you are here, I assume then to seek out either myself or Rias to reincarnate you as a devil?"

Yarden scoffed, "Fuck no," he laughed and only laughed harder as she gaped at him for his abrupt refusal, "No offense sweetheart, but I doubt either you or Rias Gremory have the strength needed to reincarnate me with your lack of pieces, and even if you did, I'm not interested in being anyone's lackey, especially one so much weaker than me."

Seriously, he had a good idea of how strong they all were as things were right now. And to be honest, he doubted he'd even need Grian to smack around her entire peerage, or Rias Gremory's for that matter.

And don't even get him started on if he went even further than that.

With Blaze Black Flare and Delete Field, he'd get access to cursed dragon fire and the ability to seal off the natural abilities of anyone caught by his Sacred Gear. Then there was Grian, not only was it a holy sword that was said to be as powerful as the true full Excalibur in its prime, or at least around that level, when he wielded it, it boosted all of his abilities. It boosted his physical strength, speed, endurance, stamina and magical power.

And his Balance Breaker, boosted not only the abilities of Blaze Black Flare and Delete Field to all new heights, but even enhanced his physical and magical abilities as well!

Quite frankly. There was a reason why even knowing the crap with Kokabiel was going on right now, he didn't feel threatened.

He was pretty sure he could take Kokabiel right now. 'In fact if I wanted, I could go put the boot to him and his pansy minions asses right now, break the Excalibur fragments over my knee and show him a truly blue Scottish holy sword!'

Sona just stared at him for a moment, agape at his audacity, "..Then..then why did you come here specifically and blatantly seek out myself our Rias when you would know we can sense your holy sword and claim you want to be reincarnated as a devil?" she asked.

"Either one of you fits my purposes," he shrugged, "I mean don't get me wrong, you guys are a decent back up plan if I really need it, but I'm more interested in getting a meeting with the Satans and seeing about becoming a king right off the bat, after all, going beyond my power and bloodline, I have vital for information that concerns your race as a whole that they'll want to know about."

Sona opened and closed her mouth a few times, looking a bit like a goldfish. It took her a good ten seconds to regain her mental faculties, "...That's impossible," she replied, gaining a raised eyebrow from him, "I'll come back to the rest of what you said. But, even taking into account your frankly absurdly arrogant statements fully, you won't be able to become a king without having one yourself, it's not anything to do with power or prestige or what you have to offer."

"Don't get me wrong, I'm not trying to be insulting to you, I'm saying if I was at all interested in having a king, either you or Rias Gremory would be my first choice," he replied, but did not refuse her words, "Why is it impossible though?"

"Hmm, well, I'll take that as a compliment, shall I?" Sona hummed, shaking her head, before looking him in the eyes, "The reason why it is impossible for you to be reincarnated as a devil and not have a king, is simply because the process is not perfect. The king acts as a conduit for the new demonic energy and stops it from rampaging out of control and mutating the reincarnated devil into the same monsters Stray Devil's tend to be."

"Ah...that's shite," Yarden clicked his tongue, "So I really do need to be in a peerage then, and neither you or Rias Gremory will be able to reincarnate me."

He wasn't going to lie. As useful as becoming a devil was, giving him access to such an easy magic system to use, an instant parameter boost depending on the piece used to reincarnate him and the near immortality, at least through aging, that was kind of a deal breaker.

Sona's brows furrowed, "How exactly do you know neither I or Rias would be able to reincarnate you?" she asked, "You don't simply think you are that strong do you? While it's true I don't have many pieces left, I know Rias at least has a rook left, which is worth four pawns, and you shouldn't have access to that kind of information."
