Kill Him!

Zaroff decides to give Rainsford 3 days to survive him, if he does Rainsford wins. So the 3-day hunt begins and Rainsford starts putting traps for Zaroff. But Zaroff doesn't fall into any of the traps.
Resolution
In the Climax, Rainsford jumps into the ocean to avoid getting killed by Zaroff and a pack of his hounds.
Zaroff thinks Rainsford has died. But Rainsford has actually survived the jump and swam to Zaroff's house. He climbed up to his room and Zaroff got shocked and he was scared. He said, " I can congratulate you" "You have won the game" in a way that will make Rainsford won't kill him. But Rainsford does kill Zaroff and sleep in his bed.
I am still a beast at bay
I can congratulate you. You have won the game
