Uhm ... no. It's not like those being were weak that temping was the only weapon, so any one who manage to avoid it can just walk up and put a dagger in their throat. All of them are capable of mass destruction. In between we also fight ... you know, dragons, alien weapon of mass destruction, ancient heroes, other demi-gods (warring triad). The WoL is a peerless warrior that had faced down all the trial of strength from West to East in our journey, that strength didn't simply come from Headalyn blessing, because more than half of the trial we faced that's not even relevant.

In fact, there is nothing I saw in ShB that come close to compare to anything we had fought at the source.

Yeah - but one point you are missing here. In all of those instance the Warrior of Light had help. Whether it was the Scions or a group of Adventurers, we pretty much never truly went one-on-one against anyone.
And whilst I'll concede that it was at a point in time when the WoL was still up-and-coming, the fact is the first fight against Zenos ('In Crimson it Began') - which was the first real one-on-one fight we'd experienced at that point - demonstrated exactly what could happen when we fought alone against a foe of superior strength.
