"A toy—and one that looked like it had been played with for a long time, so worn out? Couldn't Zeref have found a better vessel for creating Devils?"
Ren looked at the toy sculpture in his hand and was utterly speechless.
The sculpture before him was only the size of a fist, like an ordinary doll. Its various patterns had already vanished, as if it had been handled for too long and worn smooth.
