Rou DID kill the Lord of The Mountain, who was blessed by the Demigod of Fire, but Rou never fought anyone blessed by the Demigod of War.

Also, someone who's been blessed by a god isn't necessarily a Psalm character, although I assume they DO gather more faith for their gods. Here's the text explaining the process:

故に、我々は様々な【詩篇】という物語りを綴り、【勇者】や【英雄】を代表とする特別な存在を世界に生じさせる. 我々の【信仰】をより広く集める為の、生きた広告塔として.

Heroes and Champions become beacons to attract faith from the masses for the gods.

我々が【加護】を与える事でその者の力を増幅させるのは、その前段階だ.

Someone who has been given a divine blessing is just being prepped up to become a Hero or Champion.

我々が自分の【詩篇】の【主要人物】に誰かを選ぶと、選んだ者が死ぬまで変更する事はできない. 【主要人物】とて生物である為、試練（イベント）を乗り切る力が足らなければ死ぬ事は多々ある. それは仕方のない事だ. だが【主要人物】とするには【加護】を与えるよりも大きな神力が必要になる為、厳選した才ある者を選ぶのは当然だろう.

Gods cannot change their Major Character once they have chosen someone for the role. Also, because they have to give a much larger portion of their Divine Power to make someone a Major Character, many like to make sure the individual they choose will be capable of overcoming future trials. I suppose a god could have multiple Major Characters (creating multiple Psalms), but that's too large of an investment, I think.

【主要人物】同士の戦いとなると【■■■■】様が定めた【終末論（エスカトロジー）・征服戦争（コンクエスト・ウォー）】は発動してしまうので、負けた方は蓄えた神力の大半を略奪されてしまう.

What's worse than a Major Character dying, though, is them being defeated by another Major Character as the god who blessed them ends up losing the majority of their own Divine Power.

神力を全て失い零落してしまうと我々は【堕神】になるが、この場合はそれよりも更に悪い結果を引き起こす可能性があった. 【堕神】よりも更に深く、深く堕ちてしまうかもしれないのだ. 分かりやすくどうなるか表現するのならば、ヒトから虫になる、とでも思えばいいだろう. 流石にそんな状態で生き続けるのは御免だ.

Oh, and upon rereading this side-story, it seems there's something even worse than a Fallen God for a god to become from losing their Divine Power.
