Despite Erik injecting a considerable amount of mana into the dart, the poison was not strong enough to kill a beast so much stronger than him. It wasn't just a matter of stats and levels but also Energy. Since the mana darts injected poison made by mana, the higher his target Energy was, the stronger the mana circulating its body.
The mana circulating inside the Leylarhad's body battled the poison introduced by Erik's dart, noticeably reducing its strength. The substance Erik injected into the creature crippled it a little bit the cub. Still, it wasn't enough to kill, paralyze, or severely reduce its stats. The young man wasn't aware of what was happening; he only knew that the beast was still on his tail.
"FUCK!"
WOOF, WOOF, WOOF, WOOF, WOOF, WOOF.
The Leylarhad barked while chasing Erik, trying to get rid of this pest in front of its nose. Erik didn't stop running, and after a while, he reached a clearing inside the forest where there were no trees around for kilometers; an open field covered with grasses and wildflowers. There weren't any creatures living here except birds flying overhead and small rodents scurrying away from Erik and the Leylarhad when they ran past them.
The thaid had followed the human through the field since they left the woods behind. The big carnivore chased him at full speed, leaving deep footprints in the ground; if Erik stopped now, the monster would catch up within seconds. He needed a way to escape from the beast!
However, Erik also noticed that the thaid was much slower than before, since he could now keep up with the beast's speed, which wasn't gaining any ground. Erik immediately realized that was the effect of the mana dart's poison that could do nothing more than slow down the beast.
He looked around him and saw nothing useful, but as he ran, he got closer to the breach. The problem was that if he went out of it with the beast on his tail, people were bound to see it and find out about the barrier's hole, sealing his only means to gain experience.
On the one hand, Erik's greed compelled him to try fighting the beast right here, though, on the other, his survival instincts told him there was no way he could kill the beast and urged him to run. In the end, Erik followed the latter, and despite knowing that from that day onward, his progress would be severely slowed, he decided to speed toward the breach and search for help.
As for how he ended up meeting the creature, he could simply say that he found it in the middle of the road to Mister Fox's farm. Though Erik didn't take something into account because he was obviously unaware of it, the beast was getting rid of the poison at an unbelievable speed, and he was starting to return to his peak strength!
After several more minutes of running, a chilling howl resounded behind Erik, who turned to look back only to see the Leylarhad just a couple of meters behind him.
"FUCK! I'M GOING TO DIE!"
The beast jumped in an attempt to bite Erik's head off, but the jump wasn't enough to reach him, and he kept running.
"SHIT! SHIT! SHIT!!!"
The beast ended up ten meters behind the young man, but it was rapidly able to get just behind a couple of meters from Erik. Then it tried to bite Erik's leg, but the young man luckily noticed it and moved the leg away just at the last second. Though, the young man lost his rhythm and fell to the ground.
Erik's face was drained of all colors; he was pale, and sweat trickled from his face while he panted hard. If it hadn't been for the adrenaline pumping through his veins, he would've already stopped running minutes before.
