It's just my head but I think "If Krampus can save my father once, maybe with enough offerings, sacrifices, ceremonies and service I can get him to save my father again." Jerielobas saved him once, apparently adding years to the account balance of his life. That's a gift and eventually that time he was given runs out.

Let's do a little thought experiment. What if you knew that if you served this Jerielobas all your life that it would give your father another ten good years. Would you make that contract? What would your emotions be at the time? What would you be thinking? What would be your creepiest fears and greatest horrors? If I knew that I could serve the monster to save my father, I'd take my pants down and bend over if it was needed. I am never told I can serve him however.

I do like how your mind fills in the intentional holes I've left there. It's meant to be kind of empty to interpretation.

Someone told me, before I posted this, that this Krampus can be just a trickster in the course of the plot. Meaning that the remission has nothing to do with him and he was just poking fun at the kid.
