So there was actually a slight chance that the dragon was a rank 9 being. But no one considered the possibility because it is common sense that no one can reach rank 9, especially not a dragon that is supposed to be extinct.
Because of this, no one believed that they had anything to fear. Even the rank 6 divine beings were eager for the hunt.
The fact that a lot of people joined the hunt only made them anxious about getting to the dragon first. No one was considering that the dragon could escape from them. In fact, many people were already trying to make sure that the dragon wouldn't escape.
The trackers of the Seer Pathway got to work trying to locate the dragon. Once Star Divination joined, she was able to find the dragon's location. So many people working together could surround the dragon to prevent it from escaping.
