In Round III, #1 bumps off #5 and hands the dagger to #9. Survivors follow the pattern (1+8n) with #97 being the last one in the round (1+8*12). The person next to him is #1 and it is his turn to get bumped off. Next round starts with #9

In Round II, #1 starts by bumping off #3. Thus, the numbers that survive correspond to (1+4n) and therefore, the last one surviving the round is (1+4*24) ie 97 who proceeds to bump off #99 and hands the dagger to #1.

Round #1
In round one, number 1 picks up the dagger/sword and kills the person next to him - #2. He proceeds to hand the dagger over to #3 who kills #4 and so on.
Thus all even numbers die with #100 being the last one to die and the dagger is with #1 for round II.
