GUAL during final combat. Is this play legal?

Player A is level 6 with a combat strength of 19 and knocks down the door to find level 6 monster. Player B Wanders in Squidzilla (gain 2 levels on defeat) so now player A is losing combat 24 to 19.

He asks player C to help, saying that player C will take ALL the treasure from the fight if he helps and IF they end up winning the fight.

Player C agrees and immedately after his agreement, player A plays a GUAL card bringing his level to 7.

After a little addition (with player C's combat strength) and waiting to see if anyone will contribute anything else to the fight, Player A declares the fight won and suddenly declares himself the game winner with the 1 level from the level 6 monster and 2 levels from Squidzilla.

I understand that you can play GUAL cards at any time except for the win, but even if he played this card before combat was officially done nothing was added or subtracted from the fight from the time he played his GUAL to the time he was declared the fight winner.

Its like he knew he was going to win the fight (since player C had a high combat strength) and no one could stop him so the GUAL was tacked on at the last second of the fight so, while it technically wasnt the winning level, it was added on at the very backend of the fight once he knew the fight was more or less wrapped up.

I guess the question would be is this play legal and stemming from it, when is the fight officially "over"...is it over for the winner as soon as he is leading in combat strength since he needs to do no more to manipulate the battle as he is winning?

Thank you for any help/answers to this question.
