You mean why doesn't he do stuff like breath fire? He already has abilities to let him create and manipulate elements that are far more potent and flexible than what he'd get from smaller blessings.

Author's notes indicate that although it's not impossible to get 100% damage reduction from various types of attacks, that a lot of the more powerful attacks have effects that let them ignore some of his natural defenses. So Rou's abilities will protect him from say, all natural sources of fire, but the more potent enemies he faces will have attacks that lets them reduce the amount of protection he receives passively.

Basically, look at it like... Rou's stacked defenses against fire (20+30+40+50)=140. Enemy has an attack that ignores 50 points of defense and does 1000 damage. Rou takes 100 damage as a result, despite being otherwise "immune" to fire. It's something like that.
