Okay so, I'm trying to say "never fear for i have killed the monsters" but I've changed it to "don't be scared for i have killed the monsters" so basically "no tienes miedo porque yo maté los monstros!" right?

If you want to say, 'I have killed' as in you've just killed the monsters, you would say 'he matado los monstruos'. The word 'monstruo' in Spanish is the correct word for 'monster'. 'Maté' would imply that you killed the monster in the more distant past.

The preterite tense does not imply distant past... just that it's a completed event. Preterite may not result in the best translation, but it's perfectly correct to use it. - pesta, May 23, 2011
I know that it's correct to use it... - Seb79, May 23, 2011
Thank you for correcting me on the first point though. :) - Seb79, May 23, 2011

I believe that the right translation is
No tengas miedo porque he matado los monstruos

The word for never is nunca.
