Five at once would probably pose a challenge for a single max level player, but it seems unlikely that they would be enough to defeat said player. A max level caster (even with a sucky build) could [Greater Teleport] away and then use [Fly] to blast them at range. The same should be true for all ranged attack builds, even if the exact spells used were different.

A max level front-liner wouldn't even have to think that hard, just keep attacking them.

An odd build like HeroHero's anti-equipment monk build might have to get creative, since these things have dedicated tank levels of HP and don't rely on equipment.

In all cases, the big problem would be that, if these things were summoned, you are facing a high level enemy caster who didn't spend their mana, meanwhile all your low-level damage-sponge allies have been wiped out. Also, because you didn't interrupt the long casting time, either the enemy is willing to spend cash items (i.e. pay to win) or has enough allies that you're already at a disadvantage.

Ainz believes that he has probably hit the numeric cap for Dark Young, since 70,000 sacrifices should have yielded even more by any reasonable extrapolation. For instance, it might be a common mechanic that 100 sacrifices get you one, another 200 gets you the second, etc, so the most anyone ever summoned in-game was 4 by sacrificing over a 1000 mooks. That would be a very large scale battle for Yggdrasil, keep in mind that by the time an enemy force has that many trash mobs running around they would have a similar number of much higher leveled mercenaries/summons/allies and such. So whether the largest summoning ever in Yggdrasil was one or two thousand, it wasn't more than ten thousand sacrifices. So even if it's not a hard cap, the number of sacrifices required is growing so fast that an order of magnitude more sacrifices only gets you one more Dark Young. So if you used it on a city with a million people, you'd get an extra couple of Dark Young out of that.
