Percy bounded from monster to monster till he escaped this level. At least that's what he told himself.
The crystal beasts were likely guarding the center of the temple which was ahead of him, so all he needed to do was not waste time fighting and just move to the end of the maze.
The only unpredictable factor was dodging the golden beams that some of the beasts released and watching out for the refractions those beams created when they bounced off the other crystal monsters.
For some reason, not all of them could use this power, and he assumed it was limited to specific ages of these beasts, based on the passing eyetest he did.
But he didn't have much time to do a small ecological study on them; he was racing against time to find a way to help Thalos, who was up there fighting a Rank 4 spiritmancer.
And Hugo and George couldn't be doing that good either, considering that Griffon and Sebas had to be Rank 3 or so.
