You can kill the host as well. If you make yourself into the area boss, by standing in a specifc enemy free spot, it's really fun. Like I said, it's all about creativity.

Most people ruin it with spawn camping as a host, or letting enemies kill them as a grey spirit. Not to mention the ones that burn a bunch of Ascetics. In the end, the rewards aren't worth the effort. The covenant is just there for fun.
