As soon as the phasic torpedo left the Dauntless' launcher, Avery jerked on the controlled and flipped the ship around.
At full speed he shot away, knowing that he needed to put some distance between him and the target to escape the explosion of his own weapon.
To make sure that he landed a hit, he had gotten as close as he could to the Volmargar and used the Dauntless' momentum to help propel the phasic torpedo faster than the propellant inside the weapon would normally send it.
This was all necessary to make sure that the monster did not use its combustible liquid to set off the explosives in the missile early.
Avery wanted a direct hit so that it would be certain that the enormous creature and the other monsters around it would be destroyed.
Fortunately, his bold strategy had paid off.
The Volmargar was too slow to get its massive frame out of the way, and it was not able to spew out its signature attack and ignite it on time.
