Well, Astra didn't think it was bad at all, but it couldn't compare to Kassandra.

Furthermore, he knew his father hadn't made much progress in his practice because he has to deal with family matters and the city of Lunareth where they lived.

Apparently, it's a lot of work; Astra could often see him stressed out by what he has to do.

Having seen the conditions of his father and grandmother, he decided to check on the rest of the family.

Starting with his grandfather Henry, who was also noted for being an exceptional warrior.

[Name: Henry Stardust

Profession: Warrior

Although the brilliance of his wife Kassandra kept him a little behind, he was no slouch himself; he had his own brilliance. After all, he himself was enough to create the Stardust family from scratch and lead it to the top through endless hardships.

If anyone could see Henry and William's affinities, they would say that the latter inherited his father's talent for the earth element.

While in this world, affinities weren't completely hereditary, there was still a high chance of having one of his parents' elements.

Just like talent, while talented parents didn't guarantee you would have equal talent, having them gave you a greater chance than those who didn't have that option.

Astra looked at his second mother, Amelia, wearing an elegant suit that highlighted her large figure.

Normally, many would think she was a fool, but falling into that trap could be fatal for those who confront her without knowing what she was capable of.

[Name: Amelia Valiant

Age: 130

Race: Human

Profession: Mage

Cultivation Level: Peak Transcendent

Artifacts: Crimson Queen Tiara (High Legendary)]

According to Stella, Amelia was capable of charming both people and monsters.

Regardless of race, sex, or age, Amelia could get those who didn't possess a stronger mental strength than hers to work under her command.

However, her power wasn't reflected in direct combat, but in her control abilities. After entering the Stardust family, that changed.

Amelia had now able to control people and creatures to fight alongside her, and she also had the ability to fight herself with great strength and experience.

She was what you'd call a fatal beauty.

In fact, no one in this family is simple. None of the elders are anything ordinary cultivators can mess with.

Even the butler Sebastian was one of the people who surprised Astra the most.

After all, such a strong man was able to work as a butler for his family, which undoubtedly reflected the strength and importance of the Stardust family. Sebastian's status was as follows:

[Name: Sebastian Shadowbane

Age: 2963

Race: Human

Profession: Assassin

Cultivation Level: Early Saint

Actual Combat Level: Intermediate Saint

Physique: None

Talent: Low Celestial

Affinity: Dark, Blood

Techniques: Void Requiem (High Legendary)

Skills: Spectral Cloak (Low Legendary), Silent Death (High Legendary), Life Drain (High Legendary), … (see more)

Artifacts: Crimson Nightspire (High Legendary), Bloodstained Shadow (High Legendary)]

While he might be the oldest and least talented of the elders in the house, he made up for it with his extensive life experience.

Sebastian was a determined, ruthless, and capable man who spread terror over a thousand years ago. He worked as the head of an assassination organization under the crown, purging all nobles who took advantage of their position to oppress society.

He also dealt with traitors to the crown.

He was known as the Last Night. This nickname was given to him by those under his command because those he targeted knew him the very night they died.

Sebastian had a treasure that Astra found very interesting; Sebastian always wore it: the blood-red cape that fell from his shoulders.

It was called the Bloodstained Shadow. It allowed Sebastian to become intangible for a few seconds when receiving lethal attacks.

In addition, it completely hid his spiritual presence and bloodlust, making him ideal for assassinations.

On the other hand, while Astra's siblings inherited great talent from their parents,

they were just starting out, so their abilities weren't as dazzling. But if they were compared to people outside the Stardust household, they would undoubtedly be classified as geniuses.

For example, his sister Evangeline's status looked like this:

[Name: Evangeline Stardust

Age: 14

Race: Human

Profession: Mage

Cultivation Level: Early Refined Energy

Actual Combat Level: Intermediate Refined Energy

Physique: Holy Radiance Body

Talent: Low Divine

Affinity: Light, Water

Techniques: Path of Inner Light (Low Legendary)

Skills: Aurora Sword (Low Spiritual), Sun Shot (Low Spiritual), Purifying Orb (Medium Common), … (see more)

Artifacts: Stardust Seal (High Legendary)]

Well, my sister has gotten stronger. That's what Astra thought after he finished looking at Evangeline's status.

Then he turned his gaze to his other two brothers; they were the only ones he hadn't managed to check.

Then he continued to do so.
