Abruptly, it shattered from within.
The entire mass of black fog was torn asunder from the inside, gradually disintegrating into fragmented phantasms. Threads of it dispersed in every direction.

The villagers cried out in alarm when they witnessed a humanoid zombie leaping out, exclaiming, "It's that man-eating monster!"
