Agamon recognized his enemy's weakness—Ulysses had people he wanted to protect.
This was a concept foreign to him; he couldn't fathom why someone would sacrifice themselves or risk losing an important battle for the sake of those too weak to defend themselves.
Yet, whether he understood it or not was irrelevant. What mattered was that he could exploit this weakness.
He began alternating his strikes between Ulysses and the army behind him, forcing Ulysses to parry attacks that threatened his soldiers.
The warriors of Alastor may not have been able to join the fight, but they were far from foolish. They quickly grasped the situation and issued a retreat, clearing the battlefield to give their king the space he needed to fight to his fullest.
The demon king watched the scene unfold, a wicked smile spreading across his face.
