There's also the "fringe benefits" of either receiving the blessing or not receiving the blessing, in addition to the aforementioned fact that the blessing makes your semen taste so awful that monsters won't eat it.

If you receive the blessing, you get to stay in inns and buy from shops at sharply reduced prices, as well as being able to demand audiences from kings without having to be recommended to them first. But then the monsters all instantly hate you because baptized heroes' mission is to kill them.

If you don't receive the blessing, you don't get any discounts and will probably end up sleeping outside a lot, and you can't speak to kings unless you've made a reputation for yourself first, but monsters will be more willing to take you seriously.

In Luka's PARTICULAR case, he's probably better off without the blessing, because his goal is monster-and-human-coexistence and monsters would never listen to him if he was a blessed monster-killer.
