This.. Makes sense.

The ring always set me off to him as an illusion.

In DSI, if you killed Orenstein first he was still alive, until Smough hit him.. Maybe the same happened with Smough dead, first? Orenstein barely survived, as you took most of his soul, but he lives with a fragment, barely alive. (similar to my theory w/The Last Giant) He, perhaps, (assuming the Dark Lord ending is canon) embraces the Dark, when it finally comes around.. And then the Dark essentially revives him.
