Bony Boy goes to JJK World
Hello there, Author here. So... I picked up the pace a lot and tied up the conflicts. Things were getting a little too hard to follow and the focus was all over the place, but now that it's dealt with, I feel a lot better with the direction and the contents of the next chapters.
I know it might be a bit jarring and kind of too convenient, but now I can focus on moving things forward at a reasonable pace where we will get to move to the important parts and wrap up the story in a satisfying conclusion.
I'm sorry if it seems like I'm in a hurry to finish the story. It's just that I didn't plan for it to last nearly two whole months combined with the fact that I got scope creeped and just added more and more characters. I hope I haven't upset any of you and sorry if I did.
Well then, that's all. Enjoy the chapter and have a great day/evening.

Kamo and Todo's pov
"Let's do it. " Veth said. His cursed energy output tripled and after taking a few moments to pose, he started walking forward.
Both Kamo and Todo immediately felt a weight over their shoulders. The Special Grade was already too powerful for them to beat as it was, but now it became almost impossible.
'Such dense cursed energy like that. Neither Todo nor I will be able to harm it. ' Kamo thought as he unconsciously took a step backward. Todo did the same thing for a few seconds expecting to be attacked at any moment.
'I see... so I'm that strong, huh? ' Veth thought to himself as he approached the group with all of his arms wide open. The cursed energy immediately focused on each of his fists when Veth stood just a few meters away from them.
Todo spun the cursed tool around his body, Kamo shot an arrow right at the curse's face only for the arrow to be grabbed mid-air by Veth. The three of them were completely focused on reading each other moves, so focused in fact, that they didn't hear the footprints coming from the door.
Veth opened his arm letting the arrow fall on the ground before he quickly rushed Kamo. Todo jumped to the side so that he could counter with an attack of his own, but Veth was easily able to anticipate the strike.
"So you wanna go first?! " Veth asked with an angry voice. He quickly turned his body to face Todo and grabbed the weapon before it hit. Todo let go of Playful Cloud so that he could dodge the follow-up and he took a step back.
Veith pulled the cursed tool toward the side and swung it as hard as he could. However, Playful Cloud didn't make it a few centimeters from its initial position before it stopped completely. "Is this the guardian? " Veith heard a voice, but before he could glance at it, he felt a powerful force pulling the weapon away from his grasp.
'Who is this? ' Todo thought as he saw a man pulling Playful Cloud and spinning it so fast that Todo himself couldn't see it.
"That's... Toji Zennin! " Kamo said after he finally remembered that face. Kamo was a kid when he met Tojo and he only saw him once. The two of them never spoke or were even introduced to each other, even so, Kamo knew that Toji was one of the strongest.
The notorious power that Toji had was quickly displayed when with just a simple attack two of Veth's arms were blown away. Tojo followed up with a horizontal strike crushing the curse's body and then he jumped over its tumbling body.
Veth quickly placed the remaining cursed energy to defend himself, but he was too slow to spread his power around his body. Tojo spun in the air striking Veth's head multiple times until the curse stopped moving.
'Such a powerful curse... couldn't do anything against him.' Todo thought as he looked at Veth's body disappearing. Kamo had a similar reaction, but since he knew that Tojo supposedly died at the hands of Gojo, he expected that something like this would happen.
"From that dumb haircut and clothing, I would say you're with the Kamo family, right? I'm borrowing this and moving on to the third layer. You two should leave. Things are gonna get a lot harder from now on. " Toji said while scratching his face.
Todo and Kamo were left speechless as Toji simply destroyed the curse and walked to the third layer. "Wait..." Kamo finally said. "How come you're..."
Toji didn't care to answer the question and just ran into the teleportation zone and moved on to the third layer. Both Todo and Kamo just stood there for a while until Todo finally said something, "We should go back and report this. "
"Yes. " Kamo said while he turned around and walked out of the room.
Yuki's pov
Yuki's cursed technique could easily overpower Rita's physical form and Yuta's close-range attacks. That fact forced Yuta into a long ranged fight where he could use the cursed techniques that he copied, but that didn't give him too much of an advantage since Yuki also had a shikigami that could heal her.
The fight was a long and drawn-out encounter where they threw big attacks at each other trying to gain an opening to go close range and end the fight. With both being able to use Domains, heal, and have a lot of cursed energy to fight. It was painfully obvious that no matter who won, they were going to stay there for hours and hours until luck finally decided the winner.
And just as Yuki expected, luck was the deciding factor. Because of their fights, they had destroyed a few walls of the maze and created new pathways, some of which, allowed easier access to the exit. In other words, they created a straight line to Lance's position.
Neither Yuta nor Yuki had felt the poison effects yet since their attacks were pushing it away from them, but this time it was different. Yuta positioned himself in front of the pathway before releasing Rita's cursed energy beam at Yuki who was standing right ahead of him.
The attack pushed the air forward and Yuki backward, but Yuta had inadvertently flooded the room with poison. The air pressure pulled it right at him and he was the first to be affected.
'Huh?! ' Yuta thought as he started healing himself, but Yuki was even faster to react than he was. She used her cursed technique to increase the mass of her leg before kicking the degree at Yuta who was too focused on healing.
'That bitch. ' Yuta thought as he stopped healing and focused on protecting himself. Rita tried to block the attack, but even cursed spirits were vulnerable to the poison and she was slowed down.
Many chunks of rocks hit Yuta ripping his body to shreds. He focused on protecting his head and healing his body as fast as he could. Once the attacks stopped, he fell down. 'She's gonna attack right about... now.' Yuta thought as he stopped healing and moved to counter Yuki's follow-up.
But there was none. Yuki had completely disappeared from the battlefield leaving Yuta alone. It took him another ten seconds to heal before he could search for her and that was more than enough time for her to leave. "Damn it! "
Yuki escaped.
Maki's pov
"What?! " Maki said as he started coughing up blood. Without being able to use cursed energy, she would normally be unaffected by techniques like that, since it would be impossible to target her. Maki had zero cursed energy now and thus any cursed technique would treat her as the floor or the ground causing her to be unaffected.
Ainz's Domain was the culprit. It marked her as a player and thus allowed a faint veil of cursed energy to surround her at all times and that was enough for the poison to settle in her.
"It seems like Lord Ainz has done something to you. How sad. You were this close too... " Jumpei said as Maki's blade started wavering and soon after Maki had to take a few steps away so that she could use the wall as support.
'This poison... it's sapping my strength... ' Maki quickly glanced at Jumpei on the floor who started having the same symptoms as her. Jumpei's was much lighter since he could use simple domain around him to protect himself and while it was a very weak version of the technique, it was spared his life.
Maki turned her attention to the prize, to the reason why Yuki was even there in the first place, Yuji. She started walking to the jujutsu sorcerer. 'Sukuna's power won't allow him to die, but still... I have to take him to someone who can-'
Maki's thoughts halted when she saw a Yuki's turning a corner. 'Wait... How did she... Yuta?! ' Maki tried to understand the situation, but once Yuki was just a few meters from her there was no point in thinking anymore. Yuta wasn't there which meant that he was either defeated or juked and now she was alone.
Maki closed her stance and prepared to strike, but the poison had done too much damage. Even before Yuki got to them, Maki started to crumble on the floor. She jumped forward and swung her weapon as fast as she could, but it was too slow.
Yuki ducked under the attack and countered with a palm strike. "I'm sorry, Maki. " Yuki said as she filled her palm with Reversed Cursed Energy, healing Maki's poison and the damage that she just received.
Maki fell down where she stayed for the next five seconds. The power in her muscles returned shortly afterward, but once she got up and looked around. No more Jumpei and no more Yuta, they were gone... and worst of all. No more Yuji either.
"... " Maki wanted to curse, shout, or anything. But there was no one there to hear. That was the best thing that could happen since it opened her mind to the next logical step, "The next layer! " Maki screamed as she started running forwards.
Megumi's pov
Megumi and Hana were silently watching the situation while Daizo and Reggie had their weapons out ready to attack at any moment. Gakuganji had his fingers on the strings and just a twitch from either of his opponents would set him off.
"You don't remember me?! You saved my life! " Hana said to Megumi while turning her head to him. The jujutsu sorcerer immediately raised an eyebrow.
"So?! What does that have to do with anything? " Megumi said as he tried to gain some extra space to get Nobara out of danger. Daizo still had his sword near her neck and he was running out of patience.
"What he said, Angel? What does that have to do with us? " Daizo asked while slightly cutting Nobara's neck. She immediately responded by slowly moving her head away which caused Daizo to take a step forward. "One more move like that and- "
"Daizo... enough. " Reggie said as he turned off his chainsaw. "The Domain is bad as it is and they are not worth our time anyway. Let's just move on. " Reggie started walking away only for Gakuganji to step in the way.
Daizo pulled his sword back and blocked the surprise attack from someone who just entered the room. "Guys! The maze is filling up with poison- " Maki said as she struggled to push Daizo away from Nobara who immediately rolled away from the group. Thanks to her super hearing, she was able to hear the conversation and the tone of everyone's voice, so she came in swinging, but it was the same for Daizo, he was able to signal Reggie about the attack and now Maki was surrounded by them.
Gakuganji was about to play his song when they heard a loud clap. Reggie was now staring at Daizo and Maki was no longer in between them. "Kamo! " Todo said as an arrow flew to Reggie's skull, but thanks to Daizo's quick block, the arrow completely missed him.
Reggie and Daizo were now back to back and surrounded by a group of jujutsu sorcerers. They looked at Hana and she displayed no intention of helping them which prompted Reggie to lift both of his hands.
Daizo, however, didn't. "You're giving up? " Gakuganji asked Reggie who simply nodded.
"Well, I'm not. I wanna have a good fight anyways. If I die here, it doesn't matter. " Daizo responded. Gakuganji kept his eyes on the old sword master.
'We can't fight them without risking our hide, but we can't let them go to the third layer either. ' Kamo thought as he tried to come up with a solution.
"The guardians are way stronger than us. Don't you rather fight them? " Kamo asked. He knew the type and what buttons to push to get what he wants from someone like Daizo.
The ancient warrior stopped for a moment before asking. "How stronger are we talking about? " He asked as he slowly lowered his blade.
"I know one of them is strong enough to take everyone in this room. The others in the deepest layers must be even stronger than that. " Kamo said.
His plan was simple. He just wanted to get Daizo away from Reggie so that they could overwhelm both of them alone, but his plans were interrupted by yet another group walking into the room.
Hakari, Kiara, Ieri, and Inumaki walked in which caused Daizo to raise his sword once more.
[Don't move.]
Inumaki said which allowed Maki to quickly cut both of the sword master's arms and legs. Reggie tried to get away, but the command affected him too.
Ieri quickly used her reversed cursed energy to heal the damage from Inumaki's cursed speech. 'So they got the Inumaki clan here... it's over. ' Reggie thought as he raised both of his hands once more.
Daizo tried to move again, but this time, Gakuganji was the one who attacked. He played a short solo and blasted the man to the wall. Maki quickly pressed her sword at Daizo's neck and that was that.
"Does anybody care to tell me what's going on?! " Hakari asked as he scratched his head and after a few minutes of explanation, everyone was on the same page.
"There's no way to stay in the second layer then. What do we do now? " Nobara asked while she tied up Reggie with a special sealing rope.
"We either go further in the Domain or leave in entirely. With every layer being flooded with poison after the guardian's defeat there's no reason to try to block the passage, anyone who's too slow is just gonna be in a losing position until they eventually die. " Gakuganji thought as he scratched his beard.
"Anyone who has a chance won't be affected at all by the poison or us... I don't think there's we need to stay here. " Megumi said while he tried to keep Hana away from him.
"There's that too. Megumi, your father is on the third layer. " Kamo said while staring at Megumi's eyes.
Megumi looked at Kamo with a serious expression.
"Toji Zennin... he somehow is back from the dead and he not only overpowered the special grade we were fighting. He beat it within a few moments. After that, he went to the third layer. " Kamo said.
Megumi looked down for a moment as soon as he heard the name Zennin. "The Zennins have nothing to do with me. "
The room stayed silent for a moment while everyone planned what they were going to do. Since the poison was believed to be coming from the Domain itself, it was only a matter of time before they crumbled to death, either by first exhausting their cursed energy or just by fighting against someone else. Only two options were available, they either fled the Domain or continued onwards to the third layer.
"It's only going to get tougher the deeper we go. " Hakari said while he got up and started walking away. "I'll go to the third layer then. Kiara, you leave right away. " Kiara nodded to him.
"That seems to be the most logical conclusion. Whoever wants to quit, it's best if you leave now. I'll head further into the Domain in case someone needs medical attention. " Ieri said as she got up and walked after Hakari.
Maki didn't say anything and simply got up and followed behind Ieri. Since they were from the same team, Maki was the only one who could teleport with Ieri and thus she could protect Ieri at all times. Without Yuta nearby to teleport alongside them, that was the only way to make the strategy work.
Gakuganji was the next one to get up. "I'm already too old for this. I'll leave it to that insufferable Gojo to handle this situation. " Gakuganji said while he looked at Todo and Kamo who also decided to leave the problem to Gojo.
"We need a small team to get everyone back to the entrance. It's good if everyone goes together. " Todo said as he grabbed Reggie and Daizo.
"Wait! Wait! Don't take me away from here! I still wanna fight- " Daizo tried to say, but the gag on his mouth wouldn't let him.
"Fine by me. I came here to help out the curses, but I don't wanna die for it. " Reggie said as he started planning his escape route once he was outside the Domain.
"What about you, Megumi? " Hana asked.
"I'm staying. If they Yuji then I have to at least try to get him back. " Megumi said.
"That's right. " Nobara said as she also got up and started walking away. Megumi quickly followed after her.
"That just leaves Yaga's and Mei Mei's team. How are we gonna contact them? " Todo asked Gakuganji who simply shook his head. The answer was simple, they didn't, or so Gakuganji thought.
"I can just use my cursed technique to open the Domain and flush everyone out of it. " Angel said while touching the floor.
"What?! " Megumi said as he turned around. "You can do that?! "
"Yes. Once they leave the Domain, they lose the player status and thus we can evacuate everyone on this layer at any time. " Angel explained.
After a few more minutes of talking about how her technique would work. Everyone who planned on leaving stayed in the room waiting until they were removed from the Domain while everyone who wanted to move to the third layer did so.
They also waited for a few extra minutes to account for Yuta, since he still needed to get to the third layer until Angel finally used her technique. Ainz's Domain was busted open which forced everyone who was in the second layer, besides herself, to leave immediately.
Lance and his poison, Yaga, Mei Mei, and everyone who was there now found themselves back in the real world.
Hana was the only one left in the second layer which was quickly repaired by Ainz's cursed energy. She took a deep breath before entering the teleportation zone and leaving for the third layer.
