Laxus loses, or he wins. The damage he takes or gives getting there you already admit doesn't matter because mashima. So all that's left is who came out on top...and it sounds like it isn't laxus right now.
He used the mist because he wasn't expecting him (not just him, humans in general) to be so strong. He wasn't seriously trying and he still ended up killing over 100 people and setting one of FT's strongest aside for another who knows how many chapters.
Isn't a win supposed to be a good thing? I wouldn't even consider that a legitimate fight to be honest.
I didn't need the Kyuukimon to be more overwhelming than they already were. I just didn't want them to be less overwhelming, at least not at this stage. It's still quite early.
An alternative could've been that Calamity tries to strangle Yajima to death, Laxus comes, Calamity recognises him, and explodes. This way, no blows were exchanged, Calamity is still badass, Laxus is still badass (and is recognised as such by the Kyuukimon), etc.
Note that I'm not saying that this path would've been better; I'm just giving you a little more insight into what I thought about the chapter, because I don't think you understood what I meant before. I didn't feel like repeating what I've said already, so I approached the issue in another way. But yeah, as it is, we aren't even on the same page.

I guess this all only matters depending on how strong Laxus really is, and whats the gap of power between him and the top tier of fairytail. I was under the impression Erza and Natsu (lightning fire mode) had at least 70% of his strength, if that's anywhere close to the truth they should be able to take on a couple tartaros guys without danger.
Yeah, that would've worked too. It's all about the impact of the scene, man. I (and I'm sure most people) only take note of technicalities like "who won" in hindsight and analysis.
