The first five members of the Winter Night Squad faced off one-on-one against the Empire's top five powerhouses.
The remaining three, confronted by the relentless palace guard and emerging powerful adept users.

In practical terms, their combat level just settled below millennium king and above Destroyer level.
Only the first five of them truly achieved the millennium king level.
