The ring didn't seal his innate nature as a half-angel, Hunter. He still had an extremely high comprehension ability, which was inherited from his angel heritage (as Ilias explains in Paradox when she proudly explains how hi-spec Luka is to Prometheus). I'd say the ring just sealed his ability to exert his abilities as a half-angel (the use of Holy energy and slicing through time and space with his sword slashes, that sort of thing), but not his latent ability and quality. As such, you could say wielding Angel Halo was just one of the limited ways he could make use of his latent abilities.
