The impression I got from the society of the Ancients is that they are so unaccustomed to violence in their society that it doesn't even occur to them to fight back. When these monsters started to hurt and kill them, they panicked and fled, even if they might have had the ability to counter them. It's also possible that some tried - and their new creations came out warped and evil, joining the other monsters to turn on their creators, as well... It's notable that modern-day Ascians do not seem to use Creation magic while fighting - at least, not to make creatures. Instead they fight using energy blasts and pools of darkness and stuff. These fighting arts may not have existed back in the days of the Ancients, and may have been developed later.

We, on the other hand, are used to conflict, used to fighting monsters. It's pretty much second nature by now. It's not that surprising that we'd charge in where Ancients fear to tread.
